TLDR

Calculators to show the value of different microunits, ala microcovid

Inspiration

From https://forecasting.substack.com/p/2022-01:

Create a microcovid (a) or foodimpacts (a) but for other areas, like micro-marriages, micro-insights, micro-dooms, etc. Do this in a way that easily allows the creation of many of these calculators.

Microcovid: 1/1,000,000 chance of catching covid
