Average infection: 1 per year

Risk of long term issues on first infection: 10%

Risk increases with each subsequent infection.

After your 3rd you have a 30% chance of long term issues.

How many years until you become disabled?
most people really are terrible at assessing risk

It’s official: AIPAC is trying to buy my election to keep me out of Congress.

Apparently, I’m a “dangerous detractor”... by believing Palestinians (like myself and my family) deserve basic human rights.

But we’re not going to let AIPAC win.
