"12. Odds of being struck by lightning — 1 in 114,195

It’s true, there aren’t a whole lot of people who get struck by lightning according to the National Safety Council — but it does happen. Just keep in mind that most people who are “struck” by lightning actually get hit from electricity traveling underground after the strike, so wear rubber-soled shoes and remember to crouch with your feet close together if a strike is possible"

I take it back, getting hit by lightning is still rarer


so
Seriously, maybe look at credible websites.
I am far from a negative person, in fact pretty much the opposite but you might want to open your eyes a bit.

If you look at an actual reputable website (we will use Canada.ca since you are Canadian), they say approx 6-12 people are killed in a year, another 60-70 seriously injured by lightning. As of today, there have been over 17,000 confirmed cases of covid 19 in Canada in less than 2 months.
IMO you are being very flippant about a serious situation.
