Consider yourself lucky. More so than the over 3 million people currently suffering through it, or the more than 400,000 and counting who've died. Or the families of those 400,000.

Doubtful number considering that anyone who dies with the coronavirus (regardless of symptoms) is counted as having died from it. I will take more time to analyze total death numbers (many of them caused by the lockdowns) compared to previous years to get a better estimation of "surplus death".

There might be some counted as Covid-19 deaths which died from something else but you have way more people who died from it but didn't get counted in these numbers. If it's old people in nursing homes which just don't get counted or way too many countries not counting properly at all (because they just can't do it better or because they just fake numbers to let it look better as it is). Maybe it's just me but I can't imagine poor countries like Mozambique to be able to find out every Covid-19 death. 

To believe that the real numbers are lower as 400k right now is pretty optimistic. 

Turkey had a much later outbreak (that's what they try to tell everyone) but they still got death numbers down much earlier as many other countries which doesn't make any sense. Iran's numbers were even less believable and we don't even have to start to talk about countries like Russia, Brazil and probably 50 more countries which don't like to talk about reality. Or let's say those who have the power there don't like to do it.
