Calculate your death score here – bigger number means more likely.
1. Add one point for just being alive for the 7 days of next week. (No matter how careful, there is always some risk a stray wind will blow the virus on you.)
2. Add 1 point for each day another person lives in your house with you. (Hey, if you die, it will be because someone near you gave it to you.)
3. Add 5 points for every person who went with you playing golf if they stayed 6 feet apart.
4. Add 15 points for every golfer who did not stay 6 feet apart.
5. Add 6 points for every store you went into for less than 10 minutes.
6. Add 15 points for every store you were into for more than 15 minutes
7. Add 15 points for any outside meal where people were near your table.
8. Add 15 points for every person at your table.
9. Add 50 points for every movie or theatrical performance you attended.
10. Add 50 points for every meal at an inside restaurant.
11. Add 50 points for any meeting you went too with more than 5 people for more than 20 minutes.
12. Add 100 points for any political rally or protest you attended.
13. Multiply your score by 20 if you are over 60 years old. (This is not about contacting covid-19, this is about dying, and older people account for 80% of covid-19 deaths.)
14. Multiply your score by 20 again if you have heart disease, obesity, arthritis, diabetes or any immune related chronic disease. If you are old with chronic disease, you are at the highest risk of dying if you catch the disease.
If you have a high score, are you bound to die? Not necessarily. Someone near you has to be a spreader of the disease for you to get it. To find how likely that is, google: Florida covid-19 dashboard.

To find how likely you are to cause someone else to die of covid-19 do a similar calculation. By the way if you hold a political rally and 10,000 people show up, add 10,000 points to your score.

You know what you have to do to stay safe. Do it! We all want to be alive when the vaccine arrives.
You forgot to add 1000 points for touching softball, tennis ball, or pickleball.
