For perspective, since China first reported it Dec. 30, the coronavirus has killed 305 people worldwide while car crashes have killed about 125,000.https://twitter.com/business/status/1223829695252385794 …

The death rate worldwide for traffic deaths (which is the statistic I cited) is > 18 per 100,000 population, per WHO (p. 8) https://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/handle/10665/276462/9789241565684-eng.pdf?ua=1 … The CNN article you linked does not mention the death rate you’re claiming (or any, on a per population basis) for the virus.pic.twitter.com/ALejmbnQI5
It's BBC but it gives the death rate as >10% (it's even a bold title). I just multiplied that up for comparison. Whether car deaths are 1 or 1000 it makes little difference, there's no exponential growth in car deaths hence the lack of attention v coronavirus
Fair enough!
@sesquiotic An erroneous comparison, I think. Car fatalities are per 100,000 population in the cited stat. Coronavirus is per 100,000 who get sick. If you measured fatalities per 100,000 traffic accidents, the comparison would be more acceptable.
One in ten? No, that was SARS. Based on Chinese data this is about 1 in 50. But there's a lot of suggestion that the total cases are very underreported (while deaths aren't) because some people have very few symptoms. Also, 10.7 is for entire population. Apples & oranges
Incredibly poor use of statistics here. If you want an apples-to-apples comparison: the population of the affected provinces is about 33 million, which makes the fatality rate about 0.9 deaths per 100,000.
