About 655k die every year from heart disease. Covid hasn't reached half that number in the same time.
Covid has been terrible but you shouldn't cherry pick stats to tell a story that isn't true.

- klyrs 6y agoCherrypicking? I was referring to the daily death rate. If it had been 2k/day all year, which has been fairly common in recent weeks, then about 700k would have died. But that would be ridiculous, because the virus took a long time to reach the saturation level we're at today. The stat you picked is quite incomparable.
