Fun idea of a metric, but if I'm reading this correctly, we get roughly one apocalypse warning per year?

> Level 5 is calibrated so only the highest daily peak in the trailing year should exceed it.

My bet is it's the day of the Super Bowl or the Las Vegas Grand Prix.

So, if you see a 5, you are probably fine. If it gets up to 6 or 7, maybe start worrying.

Yeah came here to say the same thing. While last year might have been a bit chaotic, this as well, I highly doubt we were as close as it is possible to come to nuclear apocalypse without getting one. This seems like a completely useless metric.
