I take your anecdote, and raise my own as I have had several family members die in a car crash, and zero die of Covid soo....
Your anecdote is not more valid than mine.
>>The Australian statistics
it seems Australian drive about 30% fewer miles per year on average;
in the US the risk of death in Auto Accident is 1 in 106, or .95% which I think is close enough to 1% to give the Grand Parent a little slack
- Rapzid 6y agoLifetime odds. They were projecting 3 million may have died if we did nothing over a matter of months; 100 years worth of auto fatalities..
- syshum 6y agoI think we can safely say at this point that those projections were widely inaccurate and have been dis proven several times now as they were based on a completely inaccurate and incomplete data set.
- ImaCake 6y ago>incomplete data set They were. The COVID deaths in the USA are about double what has been reported. Not a conspiracy, just a reality of how the deaths are coded due to testing constraints.
- Rapzid 6y agoSo, the CDC currently believes well over 200k people have died in the USA as a result of COVID-19. That's with the lock-downs and all the other measures we have taken. What are the current projections on how many deaths would have occurred if we did nothing?
