For everyone else, this is pegging Covid-19 deaths to ~36,000 [0]

More like 360-3600 (dnautics said 1-2 orders of magnitude lower than vehicle deaths).

...and there are 3500 recorded deaths so far from COVID-19, so we've very likely already exceeded this estimate as of March 7, 2020.

Please don't mix national and worldwide numbers: WHO estimates 1,350,000 traffic related death worldwide [1]. That said, every single loss of life is a tragedy by itself.

I think dnautics was just talking about the US, so there are only 19 deaths so far.
