But are traffic accidents contagious? We're at 10% infection now. What will 50% look like?

Its cute to deliberately conflate dissimilar things. Corona is different among mortality statistics in that, everybody can be at risk if we're not careful.

A relative of mine works at the central hospital in my city. She's been seeing with her very eyes that the department of infections is empty since the circus began. People with infections other than corona are sent home to cope or die, because empty beds are reserved for corona. Explain, please. And also explain by what magic the U07.2 in death certificates is transmuting into U07.1 for the news and statistics. If you don't know what that means, lookup the WHO's disease IDs.

"U07.2 COVID-19, virus not identified" changes to "U07.1 COVID-19, virus identified" presumably when the test results come back. Probable cases versus confirmed cases.

It's not magic, it's pretty obvious.

It's when relatives of the deceased are bribed to sign an agreement to turn 2 into 1. Without 'presumably'.

Bribed by the lizard shapeshifters, I take it?

Yep, the adrenochrome junkie lizard shapeshifters from the other side of the flat deepstate Nibiru.

Can't you stupid flagging fucks tolerate these words even when used as sarcasm?

But do you subscribe for an accident or a non-contagious disease at some kind of Public Terminal of Fate? 3000 dying of tuberculosis every day, did they subscribe for such a death?

Well if nobody subscribes for death, why are people still mortal?

Everyone can be at risk of dying from cv? no, for a young healthy person the risk is similar to shark attack or lightning strike. However everyone is at risk of dying in traffic accidents, even if they never get in a car.

Yes, but the point is CV19 is only just beginning, and already its rivalling the largest risk Americans face. Where will it peak? 2X? 3X?

They are until we have driverless cars, because we teach the next generation this dangerous behavior. I.e. it is institutionally contagious.
