If we followed Typhoid Annie's advice, we would add 175 million dead to the 58 million that normally die

 

"We're all going to get COVID, and the sooner the better".

In the first year of the pandemic, 2.2% of cases globally died. 2.2% of global population would mean almost 175 million deaths. In 2019 just 58 million died globally from all causes, pre-pandemic.

There's no guarantee 2.2% will die of COVID going forward, but Typhoid Annie is still stark, raving mad.
