I CLEARLY wasn't dismissing it and explained that in detail. Far more detail than you and your alarmist pals ever explain anything. You should assess what's more of a risk to your kids and prioritize that, especially when the risk is exponentially greater.
It's all about context and at the end of the day the main concern should be for the safety of your family, yourself and then the general public.
People just wallow in the exaggerated perception of the level of threat as an excuse to push their racist/xenophobic agenda. It's exactly what Trump and the Replucans tried to do in the US and look how that worked out for them. Badly. His/their days are numbered and their attempt to use fear as a divider has failed on every level, thankfully.
The figures of injuries and deaths are there for everyone to see and i've never dismissed them. Every death is one death too many. I just think people should stop exaggerating and being un-warranted alarmists.
