Over 5,000,000 people have died from Covid so far, but since they are dead, they cannot tell their side of the story.
During the Black Death/Bubonic Plague and the Spanish Flu there were no vaccines to stop the
spread and the deaths; consider ourselves lucky to be alive.
That's the official number as reported by hospitals around the world. There's news interviews out there for example, of folks who own property along the Ganges river in India who for a while there morning chore was to pickup all the dead bodies that floated up to their property during the night.Originally Posted by francois
Another I remember is a girl / young lady in Bangkok pleading on Youtube that she is unable to find a hospital bed for her mother who had Covid. Kept calling all the hospitals everyday, and they always told her don't come because there's no room. She was fortunate enough that a volunteer organization dropped off a bottle of oxygen to their house, but they could only give her one canister because oxygen was in such high demand at the time.
Plus tons and tons of other stories like that.
I think it's pretty safe to say Covid has claimed more than 5 million lives. Not that it really matters any, because if the weather keeps going the way it has been in the past couple years, we're all in for a rude awakening.

That is far less than other causes of death, and while tragic for the individual, not even a dimple in the curve of population on earth.
What about road traffic deaths? Globally 1.35 million per year, EVERY YEAR, since god knows when. That’s probably about 33 million people in the last 25 years.
We live with it, hardly mention it.
Time to get on with life.
The same is true of heart attacks and cancer - familiarity breeds contempt
