Cars are not diseases. There are many laws, policies and safety procedures involved in car use, and their use cannot be compared to a disease.
A stupid comparison that has been dismissed by reason and logic thousands of times, already.
33,000 people died in the USA in 2019 in ALL car related deaths.
700,000+ died from Covid(alone) in 2020 .
You're still peddling lies and falsehoods, @Igor Antunov. Stop making yourself look like a fool.
The difference, as you can see, is much different, and you are spouting lies when you state that disease kills less people than cars.
USA 2019Heart disease: 659,041
Cancer: 599,601
Accidents (unintentional injuries): 173,040 (cars are included in this, and they were @33,000)
Chronic lower respiratory diseases: 156,979
Stroke (cerebrovascular diseases): 150,005

Yes. Public transportation should exist but not all cities were designed around them. Not all cities have proper public transport, and the price cannot be compared to the money spent on disease prevention(which never even approached the MADE-UP number you pulled out of your ass). The money involved in public transportation infrastructure would exceed trillions, in the USA, alone.

No but this does show that you lack critical thinking capability.
