If COVID continues to kill people at the same rate in Italy as it does today, it will kill about ~150k people.

Applied to the whole world, the risk is killing easily 10x as much as cars.

If cars suddenly became 10x more dangerous, I'm sure it'd cause mass panic. Especially if cars became 20 to 30x more dangerous specifically to our parents or grandparents.
