    From cancer? Auto crashes? Any number of other ailments and diseases?

  7. From a virus that started in China and now is in over 150 countries and every State.

    I am glad though that you agree that we should be doing a lot more for Corona.

    As for cancer....there are hundreds if not thousands of cancer facilities and labs working on treating this disease and less people are dying now then were dying 20 years ago thanks to better early detection and screening and improved treatments and facilities. Every major university hospital has a cancer research or oncology wing. Hundreds if not thousands of cancer drug trials are working through the FDA process.

    Auto crashes.....cars have numerous safety devices to allow someone to survive a car accident when driving within the safety rules on roads and highways. Now with cameras and collision detection software it is even safer. Thanks to numerous safety innovations in the car, passengers in the car can survive most crashes within legal speed limits. I would say a good 75% of auto fatalities is from simple human error and self inflicted (drunk driving, racing, texting, distracted) and we have tried to fix stupid but just does not work. For the 25% who are the innocent victims...what more can we do to fix the other 75% stupid? Car fatalities in weather conditions often involve excessive speed and are usuer error but even then the auto and highway sectors still work on improving safety and legal driving limits in all conditions.

    Maybe we should put the same effort into Corona that we are putting into cancer and auto crash fatalities?

    I am glad you agree that we should be doing something!

    Which Coronavirus? Because the medical community is saying there are 5 Coronaviruses currently out there and people die from them (and the flu) every day.

    Or do you only want to do something for Covid-19?
