Intellectually, I know this full well.

One of the problems with being human, though, is that we have zero scope of scale.

Tiny little bacterium can't hurt us, suddenly we're all dead of Black Death.

Lions, how terrible! Mosquitoes, meh.

And so on. Smol things multiply... and get ignored.

A 1% chance also becomes a certainty in time, and people don't grok how often they roll the dice.
