It's not 'would of', it's 'would've', a contraction for 'would have'.

And yeah, 600,000 have died, which is like 200 x Sept 11.

These last couple weeks worth of death in FL isn't going to do anything different from the 200 times that came before in the last 1.5 years.

People instinctively underestimate the risks to life and health associated with nature, and overestimate the risks presented by other humans. It's well established by statistics at this point.

And yes, it's irrational
