7.1 in 100k is 0.0071%, not 0.00071%, off by a factor of 10.

Your lightning strike source states your lifetime chances are "1 in 15,300", which is slightly less likely than 7.1 in 100k (= 1 in 14,084), so, you are more likely to be hospitalized by COVID as a child right now than be struck by lightning over the course of your lifetime.

Personally I wouldn't want any of the children in life to be hospitalized with COVID or struck by lighting, which is why we take precautions regarding COVID and don't let children play outside in thunderstorms.
