Let's put this into perspective and look at the
really big picture
https://www.worldometers.info/
These numbers change upwards constantly and the stats all come from UN or similar sources
The number of deaths worldwide from the Hunan virus as I type this is 605,587 ( call it Covid if you like , I will use the same naming convention they used for Ebola )
Certainly that is a high number but the number of deaths worldwide from all Communicable disease this year is
7,121,141 of which Hunan accounts for 8.5%
Road traffic accident fatalities this year to date is 740,494
Deaths caused by malaria this year to date is 538,070
Deaths caused by HIV/AIDS this year to date is 922,161
The number of Abortions this year to date is 23,332,916
And the "Big "C" --Deaths caused by cancer this year =
4,508,393
and with all that the Net population growth this year to date is
44,589,299 ( and that growth HAS slowed considerably since 1963 but it still is growth worldwide )
WW1 and the Spanish flu
combined didn't slow that trend.( 20 million for the war + 50 million for the flu ) In 1900 the world population was 1.6 Billion and by 1927 it had grown to 2 Billion and it's getting near to 8 Billion now ( 7,799,091,129 and climbing)
That is little comfort to those who are most susceptible to this latest outbreak or their families but the numbers say this current pandemic is doing nothing to "thin the masses" as you say. Cancer and HIV/AIDs has taken nearly
9x more than Hunan/Covid has so far and traffic fatalities contiunes to lead Hunan/Covid so you are more at risk driving to the store to pick up a face mask statistically.
And one final number....0.1% ( one tenth of 1 % ) the number of reported confirmed Hunan/Covid infections (14,468,218 ) as a percentage of the total world population ( 7,799,109,384 right now ) and that's not deaths just confirmed infections
"Don't worry....be happy"
