I gave two Bitcoin talks today in Kyiv, and both talks got interrupted by air raid alarms. Not a big deal – we were in the basement of a co-working place next to the designated shelter room. But it goes to show how often they go off.
Honestly people usually ignore them. Kyiv is about 3 million people. 3 million minutes is 5.7 years. So once you've spent 13 minutes in shelters, collectively you've spent an entire human lifetime.
The lost sleep isn't worth it when an attack probably "only" kills one or two people on average.
Well put.
I traveled with my family to Tel Aviv and the air strike warnings went off a bunch. Amazing how locals mostly barely moved.
You get used to it really quickly. I've been outdoors at a cafe with families with young children, and watched at no-one did anything at all.
Certainly there are cases where the danger is higher and people would take more action. But fortunately I've never experienced it myself.
