Could!<p>so lets make that a bit easier on the eye and less scary<p>40 million divided by 25 equals 1.6 million per year<p>62 million people died worldwide in 2024.<p>2.5% of the worlds population isnt that bad.<p>What do the other 97.5% die of?<p>However:<p>Tha lancet says 39 million are going to die in the next 25 years from antibiotic-resistant<p>Oxford University has done the first comprehensive analysis of global impact of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) estimates resistance itself caused 1.27 million deaths in 2022.<p>Coronavirus Death Toll 7,010,681 although I am unsure if that figure also includes those who died in a car accidents and other unrelated accidents within 30 days of testing positive for covid.<p>I am happy with all the people dying from any cause, its quite normal for us human beings
