From a somewhat unemotional perspective I'd argue this disease comes with quite a silver lining - _especially_ for developing countries. Old and sick people will die - which releases social and financial burden. While adults and healthy folks up to an age of 50 will be mostly fine. Not being vaccinated just speeds up the process until reaching an endemic state. Also people in developing countries have less issues with obesity which is one of the major comorbidities in the first world. We (westerns) on the other hand seem to go nuts over small inconveniences ripping the social fibres apart. The west focuses too much on those X people have died of covid imo. A death is a singular not a plural experience. X people dying means X people individually experiencing dying - we all die eventually - and we all have to cope with deaths of close ones. That's a fact of life. For one person dying - the process is not better or worse if more or less people are virtually dying chronologically close by or of a similar cause. X people dying is a political and economic quantity - and many people dying especially old and weak ones is not necessarily economically, politically and two weeks later socially a bad thing. So, Africa and Asia will do pretty well compared to us.
