Well that's just statistically wildly false, even right now with low deaths. There are only 5 road traffic deaths per day in the UK and that's all causes - getting hit by a bus would be much rarer than that. So when we were at a few hundred deaths per day you were at least 100x more likely to die of Covid than being hit by a bus.

Just for you ts.

Was just driving and saw lots of police and ambulances, a bus has left the road on a roundabout and smashed into a wooded area with just the back of the bus showing.
