More than 90 people die in car accidents everyday. (32850.)
In 2018, approximately 130 people died by suicide per day (47450 per year.)
Approximately 1700 people dies per day from heart disease (620500 per year.)
Approximately 1600 people died from cancer every day (584000 per year.)
I believe the U.S.A. has seen approximately 8000 deaths by coronavirus so far

Here in Spain, it's horrendous. We have over 127,000 cases and we've been on a "strict lock down for 3 weeks" Just started our 4th week today and it will continue until 26th April. We started ours on 14th March...
Copied and pasted this for info..
"Spain’s death toll rose to 11,744 on Saturday – the world’s second highest after Italy – but the 809 people who died from the disease over the past 24 hours was below Friday’s 932 and down from Thursday’s record of 950, the health ministry said".

We're hoping that we've now reached the "Peak" These deaths are daily from SARS cov2 / Covid 19 and that's not including deaths from cancer, car accidents, heart disease and other deaths. When we started "our" lock down, the USA had hardly any cases. Now the USA have over 300,000 cases and your daily deaths are rising rapidly within a couple of weeks. As you know Gally, I talk to my friend every night who lives in NJ, the 2nd worst hit state in America. Luckily for him, he has N95 masks which he uses when he has to mow his field. He lives on his own but he suffers from underlying illnesses so I'm very worried about him.
Here in Spain, you are not allowed to go out for any exercise whatsoever, unless you have a dog, you can only walk it within 50 meters of your home. One person in a car, road blocks all over the place, Police guards on the doors of supermarkets allowing 1 person in and 1 out so there's no more than 12 people in there at any one time. That's what it's like where I am anyway.
As it's coming up to Easter Weekend, our Police are setting up road blocks to stop people coming to our coast line. If you can't prove where you're going to, you're up for the "high jump" as we say.
you forgot the number of people that died from the flu last flu season. USA official government stats
The current season does not appear to be as severe as 2017-2018, when the flu reached epidemic proportions and as many as 95,000 people died, according to CDC estimates.Feb 1, 2020 Between October 1, 2019, and December 7, 2019, there have been up to 3.7 million cases of the flu, between 23,000 to 41,000 hospitalizations, and approximately 1,300 to 3,300 flu-related deaths, according to the CDC . ... Health experts predict that flu activity may peak earlier than usual.Dec 13, 2019
While the impact of flu varies, it places a substantial burden on the health of people in the United States each year. CDC estimates that influenza has resulted in between 9 million – 45 million illnesses, between 140,000 – 810,000 hospitalizations and between 12,000 – 61,000 deaths annually since 2010.
Flu deaths are up more than 65% so far in 2020, with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reporting that 4,800 people had died and 87,000 people had been hospitalized.
So far, 16,000 people have died and 280,000 people have been hospitalized during the 2019-2020 flu season, according to preliminary estimates from the CDC.
The majority of states, as well as New York City and Puerto Rico, are seeing high flu activity.
In total, the CDC estimates that 29 million people have gotten the flu so far this season.
Normally we would spend a lot of time and money repairing people who from recklessness or neglect injure themselves.
That's what shocking about this. Under business as usual innocent people are worth about $2 and 30 seconds of a doctor's time following on from expensive surgeries for people with what can best be described as a death force.
And that should be the standard requirement. If at the best of times your life is worth $2 and 30 seconds of a doctor's time don't go to any great expense trying to swerve corona.
However, if it's just everyones elses life you see as worth $2 and 30 seconds whilst retaining expensive surgery for yourself then do try to swerve corona as a society. You'll realise that whilst everyone sees the other as expendable nobody sees themselves as expendable - and there would be a bloodbath, not a flourishing economy.
And one helluva lot of socialist and communist revolutions broke out 100 years ago in the midst of the Spanish flu right after the war precisely because we tried to snap them back into peasantry. Human rights had evolved thorughout the 19th century but then it was back to die like cattle. You have to avoid dying like cattle in a society of fabulous money and means.
Once Smithers and Mr Burns exist this changes everything for the masses one way or another. The working class cannot unsee the ventilators they know to exist they can't help but notice the volume of waste and leisure whilst millions of their fellow countrymen died. The masses become aware of the concept of avoidable death and from here came the idea that a human life has value.
galrads: That’s one perspective noted. I wonder why the USA never closed this country down for other massive deaths by other causes that add up to a heck of a larger number than coen-virus. When we are through with the virus, we should put the same level of effort into eradicating cancer and pulmonary and cardiac diseases and change the world. America can take the lead.
I think we do lead in disease research, but those are not contagious, so no rush I guess..

Those numbers as percent of the whole population would be more informative, without context it says nothing. Then what's the point in mixing different causes of death? CVD death is caused mainly by life style plus age; suicide is mental health issue; car accident often involvs driving under ifluence (alcohol or drug). None of it is viral.
Now 8000 deaths by coronavirus: - what percent is it of all infected? - did they die of neglect or in proper health care?
Sad that people die, even worse if they die because of a social system.
According to pew research Dot org (thank you Alexa) “Three-quarters of all U.S. murders in 2017 – 14,542 out of 19,510 – involved a firearm.” And half of the Suicides that year were by gun.
