@freemo @AlexanderVI I call bullshit on that, the lightning mortality rate is calculated on the whole population, whereas you should take the population in schools (students and teachers/staff) to calculate it. Let’s say 10% of the USA pop is in school on average to make the maths easy: that would give a person in school 10x the chance of being shot vs being hit by lightning. And as others have noted, it easily preventable, as every other country on the planet demonstrates.
