The asteroid Bennu has a 1/1800 chance of impacting Earth in the next few hundred years. Is that a higher or lower chance than you dying of COVID-19?

Lower. Zero actually, as I would have to find a way to live several centuries and still somehow manage to die in the impact.
I didn't ask about the chance of you dying from the impact, that's just a comparative odds. I want you to compare the odds of 2 separate events. It's not all about you this time.
You literally asked if the chance was higher or lower of "you" dying.
You should have said, "Is that a higher or lower chance than dying of COVID-19?"
Maybe that would've helped. It just seems obvious that's not what I meant since I say "next few hundred years". I think the earliest would be in ~ 150 years. I might live that long.
Dying from COVID however remote, is far more likely than getting killed by any asteroid impact. You're even more likely to get killed by a cow or a fridge- even a vending machine.
