I have a couple trips coming up with my kids and I'm not sure I'd get on a Max 8 at this point with them. The fact that half the world thinks they need to be grounded changes my comfortably factor by quite a bit. I imagine there are going to be a lot of passengers refusing to get on these planes as the news of these bans spreads.

I don’t disagree with you. I was more responding to the idea that it’s still safe given the miles etc etc etc. I don’t think any of that really matters for the reasons in my post.
Poster above summarized what most industries do for risk assessment. When death is an outcome you put multiple layers of protection in. The first crash this did not appear to be the case. I’m quite shocked there are still airlines that haven’t grounded them for that reason.
