Sorry, I’m not seeing how you figured that.

Ok, so 2566 weekly deaths from covid: https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#datatracker-home

That’s 366 per day currently. The crash stats you linked to say 36,096 deaths from crashes in 2019.

366 x 365 = 133,798

So what I see is there’s currently 3.7 times as many people dying from covid in US that from crashes.

You can even just ask Google how many road deaths a day there are in the US, and it responds with a sentence from wikipedia including the phrase "an average of 102 per day".
