Maybe, but again, globally 1.25 million people die from auto fatalities, globally. People are making a sensation out of this. The media and the governments are engaging in scare tactics, and I'm not sure if it's incompetence or malice that's doing it.
If the rate of auto accidents were increasing exponentially, it would merit equal alarm. But it's pretty steady that has been declining (per mile traveled) because cars are much safer today than 30 years ago.

If the total death toll were 10,000 or 13,000, yeah, that would be terrible, but nothing to panic over. But that's also increasing exponentially and you're up to a million in about a month in a half.pic.twitter.com/MTnrx0ucuB

Hopefully by then, the death rate will no longer be growing exponentially but that would the result of the "overreaction," not something that would happen if people were still going to bars, basketball games, school, etc.

Did you take into account the increasing rate at which testing is being done, before you decided to make that statement?

You are making the same kind of assumption that antivaxxers make when it comes to autism: that apparent increases are associated with actual increases rather than increasing identification.
