I would absolutely love a source on that one, still not a great look to disregard safety and life so nonchalantly

Are you saying I’m disregarding their lives somehow? If so I think you are adding your own interpretation to my comment.
Regarding the data, I don’t recall where I first read that. But here’s what I found from google. Obviously the new numbers will vary greatly by location.

Sounds like your trying to have an argument but I agree with you.
