Having lived in SE Asia for a few years and returning to the USA late last year, I can confidently tell you that the deaths caused by slamming on the economic brakes has killed more people than COVID-19 has even with the inflated numbers left in.
While many Americans enjoyed a huge increase in EBT and Unemployment benifits, along with the stimulus money, most citizens of poor countries got little aid.
The amount of aid and the percentage of people being excluded, ensured many people have literaly starved to death. In poor countries they have fewer animals of any sort in populated areas because they were already consumed years or even decades ago.
Over 7 years of visiting then 3 years of living in the Philippines I saw no one fishing from the shore of any lake, nor river, nor ocean. The pump boats never have a big haul.
Same thing with hunting. Anything besides feral dogs and cats are hard to find. Here in the USA there are still animals that survive in large numbers because being hit by a car is less devastating on the population than hungry bellies.
The UN straight up told us that something like 10,000 extra kids were starving to death every month due to the lockdowns. I told this to countless people when debating about how unjustified and harmful the lockdowns are and not one person really cared. Makes me sick. I NEVER post on Facebook but just couldn't resist pointing out to a liberal friend that the lockdowns are actually a true example of what they love to call "white privilege". Pure ignorance and selfishness from these people living in their little bubble.
I'd say the UN is vastly underestimating the extra 10,000 deaths of children if anything. As for white privledge, thats a joke. Its more like wealth privledge and theres plenty of that in the USA of all colors. At 14 I worked picking tobacco and at 15 I picked oranges and worked in a foliage nursery. Didn't feel white privledged at those times.
Wealth privilege. That's absolutely true
especially the old people....so overly concerned about their little lives some of them could care less about the young families struggling along......said from the beginning, if you're vulnerable, stay home....your choice...but no....they had to dismantle the entire country.
