The only thing hard-to-comprehend is how so many government leaders could repeat such outright lies over and over again. It's not that "brains are bad at big numbers", it is that "brains are bad at big lies". When you try to make sense of it you can't, unless you realize that leaders lie and people believe them. (On the 1M deaths lie: old age and underlying conditions actually caused most of these "Covid deaths")
