Not to mention that the average age of death is like 80 years old give or take a bit depending on the country. Those deaths aren't even like adults or teens or whatever, it's the grandmas with heart disease and cancer living in a long term care home who were going to die within a year anyways.
Meanwhile car accidents, which take about 300 people per year in Alberta, make up a similar number of deaths but consist of people who had entire lives ahead of them. Probably like 30x as many years of life lost. Just for comparison.
