    Observation: almost nobody died from planes in 2020

    Conclusion: we need to start more pandemics

        Nah. That’s half of the plan to ‘fix’ Social Security. The other half is forcing mothers to have unwanted labor babies.

      Because 67 people died in January. This graph means nothing.

        Open flightradar24 and see how many flights are in the air at any given point. Now…how many of them do you hear about on the news?

        That should let you visualize how dangerous/safe air travel is.

        Even with recent events, flying is still the safer option over driving. We’re hearing about all the incidents because they are rare, but every day there are lots of automobile fatalities that it’s not even reported on beyond the local market since it’s common.

      Yes and that’s why visualizing data on issues that are so prone to noise is silly
