More deaths per mile driven. It means fewer people are on the road and driving less, but the ones that are, are more likely to die. For example: You drive tipsy 1x/month after a party and commute every day. Your death rate is X. During corona, you don’t commute, but still drive tipsy 1x/month. Your death rate is way higher. Maybe even 10X. Crucially, your death rate per month remains unchanged. PS: part of the effect is also lack of practice. You think your reflexes and skills are the same as when you drove daily. They are rusty. This part kills a lot of middle age motorcyclists jumping back on the bike after 20 years.
