Driving is one of the most dangerous thing we do. We normalize mundane risks (indeed, life would be hard otherwise) and excessively worry over tiny, remote ones. That’s human, but we should not let our irrational attention drive policy. (What’s with Aug. 2nd? More of us driving!)https://twitter.com/Quicktake/status/1024960573870694402 …

And I added up the 2012-2016 numbers to see if it's a significant difference... (33782+32849+32744+35485+37461)/(365*5+2) = 94 deaths per day if all days were equal...vs 122 on july 4th. Quite a bit higher!

I wonder if there’s any other correlate besides just more driving? There’s more drunk driving on New Years but probably less/shorter driving.

How exactly did Bloomberg get their numbers out of the IIHS's table of the same things?
