Do You Avoid Stairs Because of the Risk?

A new report from the CDC, looks at the risks of Covid:

Among 1,228,664 persons who completed primary vaccination during December 2020–October 2021, severe COVID-19–associated outcomes (0.015%) or death (0.0033%) were rare. Risk factors for severe outcomes included age ≥65 years, immunosuppressed, and six other underlying conditions. All persons with severe outcomes had at least one risk factor; 78% of persons who died had at least four.

These are roughly the odds of dying from falling down stairs. Do you avoid taking stairs because they're too risky?
