    As the title says will the drop in road traffic deaths in Europe due to lockdown , and perhaps worldwide, end up below the increase in pandemic deaths over the same period ?
    If so , does that mean modern individual transport is a plague , and Elon is right .

    the improvement in air quality would save lives and yes there would also be a reduction in road deaths. But I would assume more lives will be lost because of the virus, even though it will save some due to afforementioned reasons...

    Silly things like all this air quality nonsense will go on the back burner once the world tries to get back on its feet after this.
