Inadequate health insurance. It kills 68,000 per year vs switching to Medicare for all. Plus, it’s expensive.

Lots of things more dangerous/deadly than Corona virus or “inadequate” healthcare (whatever that means):
- Heart disease: 647,457
Cancer: 599,108
Accidents (unintentional injuries): 169,936
Chronic lower respiratory diseases: 160,201
Stroke (cerebrovascular diseases): 146,383
Alzheimer’s disease: 121,404

1.25 million die worldwide each year in auto accidents
Approximately 35 million each year are injured or disabled in auto accidents
I've been advocating for banning cars for years, but nobody will listen to me. They're far more dangerous than guns.

Meh... Logical fallacy
There are many hundreds of millions of hours of combined automotive use per clock hour...
if we divide total deaths an hour per "use hour" it's not even close
Guns are many multiple hundreds times more dangerous than cars
neither are particularly dangerous per use factor but there is no mathematical use formula that would support your argument

Thank you, Mr. St Onge.
Flying in a helicopter was probably safer than taking a car for Kobe Bryant as well. Traffic in LA is a bitch!

That's like arguing that the coronavirus is more deadly than the flu on a per person infected basis.
