SOME COVID-19/20/21 PERSPECTIVE
The 2019 estimated population is 7,900,000,000.
The Total Covid-19 deaths from 2019 to 2021 as of yesterday were estimated to be 2,791,072. Or 0.0353 of 1% of the worldwide population.

Given the Worldwide death rate is normally about
56 Million a year. This Covid-19/20/21 from Dec. 1st, 2019 to April 6th, 2021 (492 days) added roughly about 6,101 deaths WORLDWIDE per day or 0.000077 of 1% per day.

Covid-19 vs Spanish Flu
According to US National Archive records.
The Spanish Flu, which ran from February 1918 to April 1920 infected about one-third of the planet's population
(<820 days) killed about 50 million worldwide. Which is was about 61,050 deaths per day.

This is roughly 10x's the number of deaths PER DAY that the CONvid-19 has accomplished.

Given the WORLD Population in 1917 was about 1/6th of the 2019 or about 1.9 billion. The Spanish Flu was truly a PLAGUE rated pandemic with a seriously high death rate.
