Fair enough, it was just an offhand comment I should have run the numbers. It looks like if you are under 50 and have COVID, you are ~3x more likely to die of COVID then to die of a car crash in that same year. So that's probably the better comparison when looking at risk, although it probably says more about how we underestimate the risk of car crashes rather than overestimating the risk of COVID. Rough average COVID deaths per 100k infected under 50 (using average death rate from categories 0-50): 36 Deaths per 100k by car crashes in a year in the US: 11.2
