Most daily deaths? https://www.iihs.org/topics/fatality...state-by-state In 2018, we were killing, by average, 3670 people DAILY in car wrecks in the US. I can't imagine we've cut that in half, but with the StayAtHome mandates, it likely has dropped this month. Cindy Cindy, You'll be somewhat relieved that the number of auto deaths are not 3670/day (that would equal 1.3M/yr), but by your chart are 100/day for 2018. Wear your mask, but note that your eyes are a major source of viral entry. If someone sneezes near you, close your eyes for a few seconds. |

Interesting tidbit from MN -
Auto fatalities are actually up. 1/2 of these are high speed accidents. Apparently, drivers can't resist driving faster on empty roads. Lou |

My bad division. Late night math not my forte.
Thanks. At least I have only one eyeball for viral admission. And glasses, when upright and outside in the world.... Hope someone gets a chuckle out of this, Cindy |

Germans saying .3 death rate. https://www.bccourier.com/these-are-...insberg-study/ it is not like there is a single number for the death rate. With adequately staffed and equipped health care available, the death rate will be lower. overwhelm the health care system and people die at home or in a tent somewhere, with much higher numbers. healthy and young, much lower, old an frail, much higher. Being "officially old" as my Dr said at my last physical, I will distance until some good mitigating therapy, or vaccine is available. That said, I was a happy camper this week, socially distancing with 8-10,000 ft between me and vast majority of the populace. for all the advantages of a sell launching glider, I did not consider flying during the zombie apocalypse as one of them...

Perspective has value. Body counts are why we can't fly. Is the goal to save lives? Or just a handful of lives, of the people who made it past the threat of salad tongs over 6 decades ago? |
