If your choices were stay at home with a high probability of death vs fleeing to a far away land on open water, in a rubber dinghy. What would you choose?

Realistically, probably I'd stay home on the sofa and go down with the metaphorical ship at home rather than the wet rubber ship at sea.
I'd sort of abstractly wish to have had the foresight and drive to leave, as I was murdered in my home, but I just don't have the incredible tenacity of someone prepared to get dressed and leave the house just to avoid getting murdered.
