Covid-19 deaths in the US are 10 times higher than car crash fatalities in a year
CNNIn less than 10 months, Covid-19 has killed more people than strokes, suicides and car crashes typically do in a full year – combined. Car crashes and Covid-19 Coronavirus has killed 250,000 people in the US in less than 10 months, according to data from Johns Hopkins University. Flu and Covid-19 An average of 42,200 people died from the flu each year from 2014 through 2018, according to data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. While Covid-19 isn’t expected to surpass heart disease in the number of deaths over an entire year, the daily death toll from Covid-19 could soon outpace the daily death rate from heart disease, said Dr. Peter Hotez, dean of tropical medicine at the Baylor College of Medicine. Dr. Jonathan Reiner, a professor at George Washington University School of Medicine, said the current daily death count “reflects the number of people who were being infected three weeks ago – two to three weeks ago, because that’s the lag” between infections and deaths.
