Right now sure. But ask yourself this, if a super eruption was imminent, why tell anyone? Can't do anything about it, evacuating doesn't do any good as people'd panic, and it's basically an extinction level event. You really expect them to tell us? I don't. And hope they wouldn't. Would have mass suicides, not the worst idea but still.
Supervolcano's take millions of years to regenerate (if in fact they ever do). Yellowstone and Mammoth are relatively safe. It's the ones that haven't erupted yet that are the worry.
You're very right westwall...
but the odds are slightly higher with there being 6 on this planet; Yellowstone Caldera, the Long Valley Caldera, Valles Caldera, Lake Toba, Taupo Caldera, and Aira Caldera. Still a super small chance) of anyone of these going off.
