Not approaching 1, but certainly greater than zero and higher than it’s ever been in my life. Maybe 15-20%

Probably not higher than in my lifetime, because I lived through the Cold War and nuclear annihilation seemed like a serious possibility more than once.

But definitely higher than any time since 1990. With a possible exception for the days immediately after 9/11, when it seemed like there might be follow-ups.
