Deaths in the USA ... Every Single Day ... Heart Attack - 1,774 Cancer - 1,641 Accident (all kinds) - 466 Asthma, etc. - 439 Stroke - 401 Alzheimers - 333 Diabetes - 229 Flu/Pneumonia - 153 Kidney Failure - 139 Suicide - 129

Thanks. Its the sharks attacks that get the headlines, not the "car attack." But do you have a link to the source for these stats? The number of fatalities from such as the above makes the Coronavirus pale in comparison, though the communicable disease category is what should be compared. 80,000 Americans died from the Flu in 2018-2019

Over 50,000 drivers involved in fatal crashes in U.S. road traffic in 2016.

I got it from CDC leading causes of death in the US (/365).
The last year I could find final published numbers for was 2017.
