Reflections on COVID-19's 650,000 Deaths Worldwide

Today, we passed a grim milestone: 650,000 COVID-19 deaths worldwide.

I predicted 1.5 million. You can get the latest Coronavirus data at John Hopkins.

I compare the 650,000 coronavirus deaths with annual worldwide influenza (flu) deaths.

I also compare it with a virus that slapped humanity 100 years ago.

Lastly, I compare it with the Black Death (the Bubonic Plague) that ravaged the planet in the 14th century.

What do you think about the Coronapocolypse?
