In the US during 2018 there were ~36,000 auto fatalities. For the first half of 2020 Covid-19 is nearing 100,000 deaths with all the precautions. And there may be a surprising number of people with health complications of one kind or another (over 30% of US population is obese) that could be exacerbated by this virus.

We are stronger when we work together. Suggesting that the government regulate procreation to increase society's IQ is ... not going to help toward that end.
