.. around 9 million people die of hunger related problems every year around the world? Or is that irrelevant?

Simply said yes, in the context. Hunger can be classified as a third world problem. Covid is a first world problem (because we will never know how badly covid behaves in the third world which has no accounting at all).

People should stop weighing one thing against another to upplay/downplay whatever the perceived coparison is supposed to say. Particularly when the two problems (covid/hunger) have no logical relation. Fact is there is a new disease in town with unknown long term consequences.
