Re:Comparing Covid-19 Deaths to Flu Deaths Is Like Comparing... by williamstein on Friday May 01, 2020 @01:16PM (#23044291)
Going further, in 2017 all accidents combined were 6% of deaths in the US (https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/deaths.htm). Nearly half (1,246,565) of the 2,813,503 deaths in the US in 2017 were from heart disease and cancer. Deaths from heart disease per day are almost as bad as covid-19 right now, so since there is a lot one can do proactively to reduce the chances of heart disease, I'm taking it way more seriously than I did before: don't smoke, hour+ of exercise every day, heart-healthy diet, sleep enough, and less stress.
