That is a lot of deaths. It's about the same number of people a year who die in motor vehicle accidents, but motor vehicles are still legal. Its also about a 1/10th the number of smoking related deaths, but tobacco is still legal.

Good point. I have thought about this in a somewhat different way, lots of time for thought now. Tornados happen every year in the US, they will kill, injure and cause economic damage. If we follow the Corona Virus model we should mandate new construction be tornado proofed to some extent (that is being doing now with hurricanes), we should set up public shelters for people to go to if they do not live in a tornado resistant home. I know everyone makes fun of weather forecasting but for severe weather it is better than the Corona forecasting. See a 50% or 75% chance of tornado everyone stay home, all business, schools, public meetings, parks, etc. close. Don’t get me started on asteroid impact and other things. Not advocating this just following the Corona logic.
