Just for the record

Average UK road death toll is about 150 a month (1800 / year)

Average incidence of work deaths in UK was about 12 a month (~145/yr) between 2015-2019
but was only 10/month average for 2019-2020 due to no deaths reported since Jan.

I& #39;m just making this note because I& #39;ve seen people trying to imply that lots of lives have been saved due to lockdown keeping people off the roads & not at work.

They haven& #39;t, really. UK roads & workplaces are relatively safe.
