Here are some interesting statistics. This is the very first information I looked up when the COVID19 issue came to my attention in a significant way:
8,000,000,000 == # of humans on planet earth.
70,000,000 == # of humans who die each year.
16,000,000 == # of humans who die each year from contagious diseases.
500,000 == # of humans who die each year from the normal seasonal flu.
250,000 == # of humans who may die this year from COVID19.
As it turns out, that estimate of 250,000 looks like it will be reasonably correct. Some claim the number will be more like 500,000 or so, but that is because they accept the utterly dishonest practice of counting all sorts of non-COVID19 deaths as being COVID19 deaths.
But … differences of a factor of two or so are insignificant when it comes to drawing reasonable conclusions from these numbers. If 16,000,000 people die each year from contagious diseases, and to shut down the world economy to attempt to save many of those 16,000,000 lives was not worthwhile … then any claim the world economy needs to be shut down to save some portion of 250,000 (or 500,000) lives is a clear and obvious LIE, SCAM, FRAUD, ABSURDITY … even before anyone even begins to estimate how many humans will be killed and/or destroyed as a consequence of the shut downs.
Nearly the entire human race appears to be dumber than rocks. If the world economy must be shut down to attempt to save some of those who will die from COVID19, then the world economy must be PERMANENTLY shut down and destroyed to attempt to save some of the 500,000 who die of normal seasonal flu … even if hundreds of millions or billions will die from the consequences of shutting down the world economy. This is how stupid modern humans are. Disgusting!
PS: That 16,000,000 number is higher than appropriate for this specific analysis, partly because some contagious diseases cannot be transmitted by contact, touch, breath or similar. So cut that 16,000,000 to 8,000,000 to be more realistic (and very conservative). As you can see though, this does not change the thought process or the obvious conclusions. After all, just the 500,000 who die from seasonal flu is being considered enough to justify shutting down the world economy and killing hundreds of millions or billions of humans as a consequence.
