- alexilliamson 7y agoThe parent was talking about Germany. In the US we're currently at 2-3k coronavirus deaths so still much larger than auto deaths.
- paulgb 7y agoOk, that's fair. I interpreted "we" from moduspol as "we as a society" but I agree that the German numbers are more relevant here. (Incidentally, using traffic death numbers as a baseline for a rate of fatalities we should accept is bad anyway because those numbers are also higher than we should tolerate, IMO.)
