If we had daily death counts for smoking, drunk driving, etc...

Most people have the mindset that "it won't happen to me." So it is doubtful.

If we had nightly death counts (in the summer) of swimming pool deaths

Some states broadcast the # of traffic deaths that year on e-road signs

For me every time I see those it’s a very effective reminder to be careful

It reframes the driving mind and puts things into perspective.

This is very misleading

sorry, meant as response to the graph post

I think that's kind of a reach, but you're entitled to your opinion

buffgato

You are right that the chart title says what it is but the average person will

I would be interested to see if COVID19 deaths are truly incremental to those

jholling

3/30/20 8:15am

I'm guessing that the others are the US daily averages

Styro

3/30/20 8:19am

It says that the others are average. Which seems fair. We have years of data

Jay Rick

Except for flu which has a seasonal pattern not unlike Covid-19

Colorado

It’s probably true that there’s no perfect apples to apples comparison to

Gotta think accidents are down with less driving but suicides probably are up.

tevye

Flu and Accidents should be down. Except for in-home "accidents"

ochobeeguy

That’s interesting

This may be misleading to some who don’t realize what this is actually showing.

Blue Mountains

Agree. The COVID # is not an average.

BluebloodOR

3/30/20 2:26pm

I think we can all agree that would be more misleading. Why would we divide

hardcorecoug

3/30/20 2:47pm

I think if one makes any comparison using top US causes of death

Blue Mountains

3/30/20 3:01pm

I'm all for apples to apples comparison, which is why it makes no sense to

hardcorecoug

Imagine the chart showing deaths per day on September 12, 2001

MarylandFan

3/31/20 3:54am

Wait, you know we expect the other deaths to go up because COVID uncontrolled

Zoobieman

3/30/20 12:09pm

the biggest unknown is which of the COVID deaths have already been counted

korihor

It's a good point. We had an obsession with Iraq war deaths when daily #s

I remember so clearly that phenomenon. Irritates me to this day.

How about 100 gun deaths every day?

CallingDingo

Love this idea, seems like it could have a good effect.

You want more of what we are seeing now? No, thank you. People are irrational

Colorado

I don’t know that an everyday thing is the same as a new threat.
