He’s comparing mortality rates per capita. Consider that cars are an endemic condition with a vast amount of time and money spent keeping people safe while using them or being near them. If similar resources are deployed to protect people from C19, there will be far fewer deaths from that than cars. At work the simple precautions are to wash your hands, hold meetings by phone, by email or not at all, and avoid socialising with people you are not directly working with. Wash your hands, wash your work surfaces. They key here is limiting the spread of the disease while the health system ramps up support. There is no need to go into wild-eyed panic and insist that we shut cities down. Doing so would cause far more problems (and fatalities) than COVID-19 ever will.
