in 2018, there were about 25,000 fatal car accidents total in the U.S. involving people under 50. 19,000 were between 24-50. There have been 57,000 deaths in the under-50 age group with Covid, so about 28,500 a year 9which is conservative, because there were no deaths before march 2020, and a low number early on).
Only 24% of fatal accidents occur during rush hour.
only 38% of those happen in the morning.
38% of 24% of 25000 is 4800.
So no, you're not literally more likely to die driving to work. In fact, you're 5 times more likely to die of Covid than you are driving to work if you're under 50.
Seems notable.
According to the National Safety Council, the chances of dying from a motor vehicle crash is 1 in 103.
See if you can figure out the chances of dying of COVID.
see if YOU can figure it out, using your own source:
What are my odds of dying from COVID-19?
Too early to know for sure
The accurate estimation of the odds of dying relies on three basic components:
-NSC uses final death certificate data published by the CDC to calculate odds of dying estimates. 2019 is the most current year with final death certificate data available. No COVID-19 deaths were recorded in 2019.
-All of the current COVID-19 death estimates are preliminary and are likely to shift as the data is eventually finalized by the CDC. Although real-time tracking of COVID-19 cases and deaths is important, finalized CDC data will provide the most accurate and complete picture.
-Odds of dying estimates assume that mortality trends change slowly over time with changes of only a few percentage points from year to year. Currently, COVID-19 trends are changing too rapidly to confidently anticipate future risk levels.
In other words, your own source would appreciate it if you didn't misinterpret their data to compare it to Covid data that doesn't exist.
