Can you elaborate on how this is rational? I'm almost always strongly in agreement with Musk, but I think he's so far off here I can't even understand it. It's ridiculous to use the current fatality numbers, the question is the potential.
Does he really think cars are more dangerous in Northern Italy right now than COVID? COVID has killed about 1000 people in Lombardy (pop 10 million) in a week. That's twice the number of fatalities Lombardy generally sees from cars in a year and it's getting worse daily, despite the aggressive countermeasures.
I don't see any reason why the rest of the world won't look like Lombardy unless measures are taken.
