If I had no idea what was going on and looked at the table regarding number of cases and deaths, I would think a nasty bug is going around and move on to the next article.
I would NEVER think that the world was shut down, looking at those numbers.
7 billion people in the world.
120,000 dead from it.
Out of 7 billion.
That 120,000 is also full of some very fuzzy math. Even if it wasn’t, the reaction to Covid is historically disproportionate.
I would NEVER think that the world was shut down, looking at those numbers.
And according to this data:

50% of the COVID cases and 60% of the deaths due to COVID in the US are in New York, New Jersey and Michigan.
Lock down those places and let everyone else go on their way!
