Scary to me, is that this kid was killed in the middle of the day, I think people always hoped that if people avoided dusk through dawn, they'd be OK. That was middle of the day on a clear day.

There were 88 shark attacks world wide and 5 deaths in 2018. When you add up all the people in the water in Australia, northern California, South Africa, and cape cod, statistically there are a lot bigger things to worry about than great whites. The guttural fear of being eaten distorts it. I don't put my kids in that water, but there is little justification for the phobia.
