According to the Oxford University Covid risk calculator, a person with my Body Mass Index and health status is more likely to die from sunstroke than from Covid.

Note I didn’t include risk of dying from “accidental gun discharge” which at 1 in 8,571 is still higher than Covid because I live too near blacks.
Also, because I live in a metropolitan area with a lot of diversity drivers (think illegal Mexicans and blacks), my risk of dying from being hit on a bicycle is probably substantially higher than this chart, which lists my risk around 4x higher than dying from Covid. We already know that illegal Mexicans are a public health crisis for native US citizens, but that crisis, though greater than Covid, is completely ignored.
Based on the chart riding a bicycle in my city is a public health emergency and should be immediately banned. But then the greedy real estate crooks who control the politicians wouldn’t be able to market the city as being a great place for bicyclists, thereby decreasing the cost of housing and causing them to lose profits.
And no one calculated what the risk factor is for the 500% increase in housing prices over my lifetime from the flood of illegals into my city, nor from the myriad other lost opportunities.
