Car crashes kill about a 5th of the people per day as the "pooh virus". Also car crashes aren't contagious. Just like the pool drowning comparison there just isn't a good comparison to be made between accidental deaths and a contagious disease.  

Torillian just say it like this : 

Car's kill about 30,000-35,000 every year in the US.

Corona Virus HAS killed 134,000+ in about 4 months.

thats like 4-5 times as many deaths, by corona virus, in about 1/3th the time.
OR potentially ~15 times as much, as Cars do pr year, so far, in the USA.

Oh yeah, I was thinking more of it kills 5x more people per day even now with our decreased death numbers.
