Yes, that does put it in perspective, but we don't simply refuse to deal with things that have the potential to kill people because other things kill more people.
Interesting comment considering:
How many car deaths in the US each year?
For 2016 specifically, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) data shows 37,461 people were killed in 34,436 motor vehicle crashes, an average of 102 per day. In 2010, there were an estimated 5,419,000 crashes, 30,296 deadly, killing 32,999, and injuring 2,239,000.
What, specifically, are we doing to reduce those numbers such as shutting down roads as a similar example. The amazing thing is that next year there will be a vaccine for covid-19, but next year we will once again kill 37000 people with cars.
Or are vehicles exempt from your comment because they are necessary.
