> Covid death numbers could also fall if hospitals stop routinely testing people for the virus. That's because the current death counts may include some people who tested positive for Covid when they were hospitalized but died of other illnesses.
True, but if its being used to stoke fear and ultimately drive misguided policy then that may be a problem. Were the accidents, where the drunk driver wasn't the cause, juicing the stats to justify a ban on drunk driving?
In the latter case almost certainly yes. US states haven't let up on criminalizing DUI, or making the penalties more severe. No state has rolled back penalties on drink driving.
