This is the second one I have filled out in a few months, the other was from a European university if I recall correctly and I was on the lower end of risk of death (though far from the lowest risk, mainly as the youth have far lower risks). The first one was more specific as it went into age, weight and health data, where I inputted it.
The results that I found in completing this one were that I have a 2 in million chance of catching covid-19 per "activity" (each time I go to the store). Nothing is fool proof of course, it is just a way to gauge risk. Like many health issues that can steal our lives from us, it's often just bad luck or circumstance (in those aspects we can't control).

The delta variant of the coronavirus has increased people's chances of testing positive, especially those who are unvaccinated, though there have been a small number of breakthrough cases of COVID-19 in fully vaccinated individuals, particularly among those older than 65.
"While it's good to know how the math works, it can be a bit drudgerous to actually sit down and do it for every activity you're considering. With that in mind, we developed a calculator tool to help you estimate and multiply the Person Risk and Activity Risk, including any modifiers for safer behavior (like wearing a mask), to get an estimated number of microCOVIDs from a given activity," a white paper for the microCOVID calculator reads.

This calculator estimates your risk of getting COVID-19
microCOVID Project is a new online tool helps people calculate their risk of getting COVID-19 based on specific scenarios.
