> There's a lot of attention paid to the 100k coronavirus deaths, and not to minimize those, but they pale in comparison to the equally tragic and preventable malaria deaths which go practically unnoticed.
Actually, Covid19 has already killed almost as many people this year to date as malaria in 2018, at least according to Wikipedia (400k died of malaria, 360k of Covid19). And this is only after a shutdown of large number regions or countries.
I know this is somewhat besides your original point, but I feel that it is important to bring up, given the trend to downplay Covid19 in some circles.
