> Should we ban cars?

To put it in perspective, approximately 37,000 people die per YEAR from automobile accidents in the USA

With all the measures already in place, and strong possibilities of under counting COVID19 has already killed more than 50,000 people in less than 4 months.

A better argument would be banning obesity. ~300,000 people die from obesity related diseases every year

Obesity is actually the top chronic condition risk factor for COVID-19.
