If you travel to China, be aware of an exit ban

It's not "orders of magnitude bigger". Canada is half of the US per capita rate. So is Luxembourg. Are Canada and Luxembourg "uncivilized"?

And an exceptionally rare event that is 2-10x more common is still exceptionally rare.

Don't scare monger.

An order of magnitude.

Just one. Ballpark 10x greater. Per capita.

I'm being numerically accurate.

Next you'll be telling us that school shootings are exceptionally rare .. and what, they don't matter because of that?

As I said, the US has normalised behaviour considered abhorent and deviant elsewhere.

Both morally and numerically.

Them's the facts.

But it's not an order of magnitude higher than other countries like Canada or Luxembourg. It's 50% higher.

Why did you avoid addressing that question?

And saying "them's the fact" doesn't really change anything if you don't address the fact shown.

And I as said (and you ignored), you stand a 20x higher chance of dying in a car accident. Do you avoid using cars at all? If you have to travel in a car, do you say "I'm not doing that! Too risky!"

If not, why would you be concerned at all about something with 20x less risk?
