When crossing the street in the days of Corona, look left, right and left again

Many of us are at home, waiting to go out. We are all obsessed with the latest statistics and read what pundits have to say.  It is likely that you are cognizant of the statistics for your country, state or county.

I learned that Jonathan P. Tennant died in a traffic accident. When you care for statistics, you will wonder what are my chances of dying in a traffic accident at this time. Deduct it from your chances of dying of Corona and things look up.

Not so much for Protohedgehog, he met with an accident. It is sad, he was young, full of promise; just became a member of the Global Young Academy. If anything, it serves as a reminder for us to look left, right and left again to not become a bus factor.
Thanks,
