    Which means that 796,137 people don't have it, or your chances of encountering one of the individuals with it is about 1 in 159,228 to date.

    Those are pretty long odds: you probably have more chance of an ice cream landing on your head.

    It'd be Neapolitan for me, or the coffee ice cream we had in the 70s

    So, instead of thinking about this virus, think ice cream!

    ^This. Exactly. I think Pamplemousse explained it better than I could to you, Phoenixess. Thanks Pamplemousse.
