Probability

Probability is the branch of mathematics concerning numerical descriptions of how likely an event is to occur, or how likely it is that a proposition is true. The probability of an event is a number between 0 and 1, where, roughly speaking, 0 indicates impossibility of the event and 1 indicates certainty. ~ Wikipedia

We have been living in a Covid-19 world for more than a year now. Currently, the probability of getting infected is much lower compared to twelve months ago, because we have come to understand the virus a little bit better. However, this probability value can be volatile. Infections (reinfections), hospitalizations and deaths can still go up again if variants manage to simmer into deadlier more infectious forms. All it takes is for this killer variant to hop on its seven billion potential hosts and wreak havoc at every corner of Earth.
