It's not misleading to say that the number of worldwide death due to covid-19 is statistically insignificant.
In relative numerical terms the above is correct. Yet it isn't relevant to the equation we're analyzing.
The only comparison that matters is to compare
the present state that the world is in, Covid deaths-wise to
the state the world would be in Covid deaths-wise had there been
zero lockdowns anywhere.
The fact that Covid is a jet-setters disease, transported by the relatively affluent and mobile (
to kill-off the poor and immobile) is further proof that it needs to be nipped in what is still
the relative 'bud' NOW, and before it takes out
tens of millions in Africa alone.
Right now Covid has at least a
battle on its hands vs. first-world countries with reasonable medical facilities and various checks and balances to combat it. Once it gets going in third-world places with terrible hospitals and pathetic living conditions it will just run rampant through entire populations. What we know as a strong lean toward those 70 years old and up, will suddenly dip down to 37 and up in many backwater places.
It would already be rampant
in (more of) those very places were affluent jet-setters still circulating without restraint around the planet at this time.
Stupid comparisons between two sets of numerical data in
today's present have nothing to do with the important picture.
If you can find a way to compare
today's present with
what the world would have on its hands had it not acted when it did and as strongly as it has, then you'll have some data that relates at all to our shared situation.
Heck, you clowns can't yet even come up with
accurate data as it related to
China's true numbers... and that was practically
last year.
Having you guys ponder the future, or even the present, is seemingly way beyond your pay grades.
