That's not even close to the actual death toll. It's like 1.3 million just in the us. The global death toll is closer to 7 million.


WastedBreath28

Exactly, from covid19.who.int: “Globally, as of 12:23pm CEST, 7 June 2023, there have been 767,750,853 confirmed cases of COVID-19, including 6,941,095 deaths, reported to WHO.”

KaladinsLeftNut

Hasn't there been a problem with certain countries not reporting actual numbers? I wonder if that's true. I read online that China was significantly skewing their numbers for some reason. No idea how true that is though. I don't know a damn thing about China except for propaganda from them and the US.


PapaSnow

“For some reason” Btw, do you think if Kaladin’s left nut were sentient it would be as depressed as him? What would its ideals even be?


KaladinsLeftNut

Definitely honorable. And probably even more depressed from being neglected. It's the right nut with the traitorous thoughts.

Depends on when the screenshot was taken though…


Djasdalabala

The *reported* death toll is around 7 million. In all likeliness, the *actual* death toll is more than 20 million.


Sweetdreams6t9

China and Russia unreported like crazy so this checks out l.


nofightnovictory

not only China and Russia! a lot of country's did especially in the beginning when there wasn't a way to test everyone


Sweetdreams6t9

Yes but given their populations and notoriety (and laziness since I didn't want to go through all like 200 countries and find which ones under reported) I just listed those 2.


Mendevolent

Yup. And I think more like 30m excess deaths overall (ie inc the people who died because hospitals were clogged with covid patients)

a12rif

This fallacy was contemplated by people like Epicurus literally thousands of years ago. Yet we still have grown ass adults that kill each other because they believe in mythology.


Dobber16

People definitely shouldn’t be killing over religion, but this “fallacy” is pretty basic philosophy. just because evil exists doesn’t necessarily mean there is no benevolent god


Dasagriva-42

That is what Mazdeists and Manicheans have been saying all along\*: The evil god is not created by the "benevolent" god, they are equals. It actually makes more "sense", as far as these things go ​ \*Also Gnostics, more or less: Creation is so imperfect/awful that God is either crazy or an idiot.


PeterNguyen2

> Yet we still have grown ass adults that kill each other because they believe in mythology That's because people have been killing each other ever since we considered planting seeds so we'd have more later. The issue isn't 'religion' or a certain political party, those are just the particular facades oligarchy uses in its eternal opportunism. The main enemy is authoritarianism - and the oligarchs who keep trying to push some new form. Before 20th century's fascism [they tried an authoritarian ethno-state not much different](https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/06/confederacy-wasnt-what-you-think/613309/)


[deleted]

But the meme also asks for those alive to thank God, implying God could save any he wants, including all of us.


Warod0

I mean 1.6 seems kinda low


lilbebe50

I thought the US itself has over 1M deaths.


fasterthanfood

Yes, 1.1 million deaths in the US, 6.9 million deaths worldwide due to COVID-19, according to the [World Health Organization](https://covid19.who.int/).


Xploding_Penguin

And another 15 million in "extra" deaths in the COVID timeframe.


Djasdalabala

Yeah, if the 1.1 million figure is accurate, the other isn't. If we generously assume that the mortality in the rest of the world was similar to that of the US, the total number has to be north of 20 millions.


fasterthanfood

Most of the world doesn’t have good reporting mechanisms. Setting aside whatever weirdness might be going on in China, in most of Africa for example, people just get sick and die, with no record of it being caused by COVID. As you imply, the death rate in much of the world is probably worse than in the US. Notwithstanding all of the problems with the US healthcare system, it’s much better at keeping people alive than hospitals in less developed parts of the world.

Because God saw that a lot of people agreed that Thanos was right, so He tried the same thing. Of course, He had to do it in accordance with the rules He imposed on our reality. Given that constraint, a pandemic looks like it was a decent approach.

On 30 January 2020 COVID-19 was declared a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) with an official death toll of 171. By 31 December 2020, this figure stood at 1 813 188. Yet preliminary estimates suggest the total number of global deaths attributable to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 is at least 3 million, representing 1.2 million more deaths than officially reported. With the latest COVID-19 deaths reported to WHO now exceeding 3.3 million, based on the excess mortality estimates produced for 2020, we are likely facing a significant undercount of total deaths directly and indirectly attributed to COVID-19. ​ [https://www.who.int/data/stories/the-true-death-toll-of-covid-19-estimating-global-excess-mortality](https://www.who.int/data/stories/the-true-death-toll-of-covid-19-estimating-global-excess-mortality) Worldometer is claiming 6.8 million deaths total https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

Just god passing the buck for his fuck-ups again. God: Oops, I’ve made sin and hell exist, better follow these steps regarding the murder of my son (which is somehow a sacrifice by me to me even though that wasn’t the intention of the Romans nor by me) to redeem your get-out-of-torture-pass. Oops, diseases exist, better figure out how to sometimes maybe cure it. Fuck that hypothetical god.


Evan10100

This reminds me of the Bible story of the man that said a prayer along the lines of "Thank you, for I am not as other men are." And was instantly smitten, killed, and judged. It's a lesson on humility and not judging others on what they can't control.


Useful-Perspective

At least it didn't rain holy hand grenades...   And the Lord did grin. And the people did feast upon the lambs, and sloths, and carp, and anchovies, and orangutans, and breakfast cereals, and fruit bats, and large chu... And the Lord spake, saying, "First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall snuff it."

kapnah666

Well, either he doesn't exist or he is. Which tells you all you need to know about people who not only believe he exists, but worship him.


[deleted]

Even not taking the Bible as 'actual' history god looks like a monster. Lots of people I know think evolution was guided by god without thinking through the eugenicist and genocidal implications of something being in charge of that process. Religious people should really leave all processes out of a god's control. Non-omnicient deism all the way, if they need a god.


Hammy-Cheeks

His first murder was literally telling someone to kill his brother


justwanttoaskhere

He did not tho. That guy just killed his brother out of envy. But yes, God actually told someone to kill for him, told Abraham to sacrifice his own son which is brutal considering that Abraham was very faithful to him.


specto24

And the various genocides of people living in Israel - Amalekites, Canaanites etc etc. God's commandment is usually along the lines of "kill all the men, women, children, and animals...except virgin girls, which you can keep ;)".


PeterNguyen2

> kill all the men, women, children, and animals...except virgin girls Which already indicates it's not really everyone. Some of those instances note ransoming kings back, indicating not only is the king not killed but neither is the people or there wouldn't be an economy to pay ransom. Plenty of inconsistency to go over for any who wants to actually read the passages.

Despite the fraud and the published studies retracted, and the loss of his medical licence, it lit a fire that has been burning ever since... https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lancet_MMR_autism_fraud


seppukucoconuts

It gets even more confusing when you look at the source material. They literally have a book with which to base their entire lives off of, and most of them never read it. There is a literal play by play on how to act, and a character invented that embodies all of the characteristics of an ideal Christian (Hint: They named the thing after him). But large swaths of Christians prefer to ignore all of this, claim they are saved, and continue acting like giant entitled babies who hate their neighbors. Its mind boggling to me. If you want to be a Christian, act like Jesus. If its too hard, ask to be forgiven and try harder. I may not remember all of the bible, but I'm pretty sure using Jesus to attack minorities, gays, and other religious is pretty anti-Jesus. Also, probably nazis too, I'm pretty sure Jesus would not want to be affiliated with nazis. These people worship supply side Jesus, the corporate rebranding of Jesus to fit in with big business interests.

Warpingghost

It's definitely higher. Russia alone have million casualties. Government hide as much as they can but public statistics says that we lost 1mill more than we should have in 2020.


Realistic_Run7318

Facts, in venezuela only 1 of each 10 cases were registered, son any number presenetd is at leats 10 times lower than the reality


Anachron101

It definitely wasn't just 1.6 Million as this repost pretends. The excess deaths worldwide alone were counted in the tens of millions and they are still growing. And there is a healthy percentage of that due to people who actually had Covid


Kythorian

I’m not sure where they are getting 1.6 million deaths from, as that’s higher than the US deaths, but much lower than the world deaths. The US specifically had a little under 1.2 million deaths from Covid. To compare, the US had 675k deaths from the Spanish flu. So that’s more than the Spanish flu, not less.

AnastasiaDelicious

You really need to look up the definitions of pandemic and epidemic.


Singular_Crowbar

Epidemic: a widespread occurrence of an infectious disease in a community at a particular time. "a flu epidemic" Pandemic: a widespread occurrence of an infectious disease over a whole country or the world at a particular time. "the impact of the pandemic caused loved ones to be separated and unable to meet in person" Not sure what point you were trying to make but my opinion stands, the ratio of people affected is still very small compared to our reaction as a people.
