Here are some more relative risk assessments as well as stronger statistics when you're comparing to deaths by COVID-19:
A college-enrolled 18-24 year old is 3.67x more likely to die of suicide [1][2][3].
A college-enrolled 18-24 year old is 6.08x more likely to die of alcohol [3][4].
A child (0-14 years) is 6.75x more likely to die by motor vehicles [5].
A child (0-14 years) is 3.93x more likely to die of drowning in a pool [6].
All fatalities are compared to present CDC numbers [7].
