Understand risk better by using "micromort" unit

A micromort (from micro- and mortality) is a unit of risk defined as a one-in-a-million chance of death.

Micromorts can be used to measure the riskiness of various day-to-day activities.

Activities that increase the death risk by roughly one micromort, and their associated cause of death:

Traveling 250 miles by car (collision) Travelling 1,000 miles (1,600 km) by jet (collision) Travelling 6,000 miles (9,656 km) by train (collision)

 Increase in death risk for other activities on a per event basis:

Giving birth (vaginal) – 120 micromorts
Giving birth (caesarean) – 170 micromorts
AstraZeneca vaccination against COVID-19 – 2.9 micromorts
COVID-19 infection at age 10 – 20 micromorts
COVID-19 infection at age 25 – 100 micromorts
COVID-19 infection at age 55 – 4,000 micromorts
COVID-19 infection at age 65 – 14,000 micromorts
COVID-19 infection at age 75 – 46,000 micromorts
COVID-19 infection at age 85 – 150,000 micromorts
