It is disingenuous to compare last years total traffic deaths to total coronavirus BEFORE coronavirus has spread. The coronavirus deaths haven't happened yet.

If I told you due to a newly discovered automotive manufacturing defect, 2% of cars would explode and kill the occupants, and 20% of drivers would be hospitalized in serious condition, that wouldn't be worthy of being on the front page of every newspaper?
