That's horrible. But ya know malaria (the mosquito) has killed more people than all of the wars and other illnesses together.
themailmanchasesmydog
Goes to show that people only give a shit if they can catch it,so many curable/solvable causes of death on this list. This is a dark graph.

For COVID plenty don't even care about that. "It's just the flu. Only old people die." etc.. Nothing will change their minds short of death.

Maternal? Does that mean died while giving birth?

I think so. We tend to forget how deadly childbirth is without modern medicine. (Source: married to an obgyn)

Even just being pregnant is really dangerous. There’s miscarriages, ectopic pregnancy, etc.

It's kinda terrifying that homicide is at number three. It doesn't look to include war deaths either, as "conflict" is its own category.

Well, fourth after malnutrition, Which is absolutely fixable, we just don't because there's no money in it.

It is on track to replace "Accidents" as the 3rd leading cause of death in the US after heart disease and cancer.
willalot
A lot of the covid death statistics fail to site people already were ill with something else.
getupgetouttaheregone
That is an issue with reporting deaths. With old age or other conditions, did they truly die of covid or was it a coincidence
willalot
I am in Canada, and in my province there is 168 deaths, but they fail to site often the vast majority are in old age homes
willalot
i dont think anybody is going to argue that if you are younger you have a better immune system so I would say its misleading not to site/
willalot
that age is strong contributing factor to death as well as covid. But that doesn't make a good news story

After being on US-centric imgur all day, I'm so relieved every time I go to the store and everybody is wearing one here!

The Imgur mask debate is toxic on both sides. Valid arguments can be made for or against masks, *in addition to other measures*. /1
ijdod
as is seen in varying masks requirements throughout the EU. US-centric this has become political... /2

I don’t see a valid argument opposing wearing a mask unless medically it isn’t good for you to wear it. Not people whining because they

I hate crap like this, seriously covid has been around less than a year. A lot of the other causes of death have been around for decades 1/2

I was SURE a lot more died of malnutrition every year.

I think it used to be a main killer but it has gotten a lot better in the last decade or so.
ilikegirlsalot
There are other causes left out this chart. Why people just cant provide full data?
Octwo
Because if they compared it to similar pandemics like they should have it's not nearly as scary.
DarthVaderDidNothingWrong
Probably because you'd still be scrolling down that animation. There are a lot of reasons people die. Also, does covid only count as >
DarthVaderDidNothingWrong
serious when it kills as many people as the top 3 reasons? It's bad enough I'd say, and that's with the world in lockdown.
Nirvash1
Tthis assumes best case scenario that all deaths reported from covid are truthful. Some are being reported from other things like 1/
ijdod
Best approach is probably to look at the statistical averages to see a peak in deaths. For many countries is this higher than reported C19.

Pneumonia such as Florida State have 4x the cases from that then this time last year. Something like 3k deaths attributed to that and not 2/
Snowcean
Maybe it's counterbalanced by pneumonia being falsely counted as covid in other parts of the world.
tboneallstar
What the fuck? I hope this is sarcasm it's really hard to tell
Snowcean
It's not intentional. But for some cases, because of the lack of tests, it happens (I'm in France).

word. .wut a coincidence that they had 4x the pneumonia deaths vs a none covid year or you know probably ever.

Covid.

COVID is causing the Pneumonia.

Even if other states did even a small fraction of those that's 50k+ deaths not attributed to covid
PapaJupiter
Are you trying to say there have only been 2 million deaths in 2020? Heart failure, Cancer and diabetes are all conveniently left off!
ParallelParkingInABurka
Dude, read the graph again, both the title and the part underneath.
PapaJupiter
Global deaths due to various causes and CO(VID). There is the implication that theses are all global deaths. It's certainly not clear.
ParallelParkingInABurka
It's various (selected) causes, not all causes. And as it says on the bottom, these only make up ~7% of all deaths, plus covid.
PapaJupiter
More accurate title would have been "7% of Global deaths by selected causes included Covid."
Daemon7777
It is still implying that covid is the biggest killer right now

US is bad, but a lot is influenced by number of tests. Read the CDC website, the US is doing more testing than any country.

You don't need to see numbers, it is the shape of the graph that matters in this context.

for the response as it progresses over time, yes. but it doesn't show how our overall infection rate compares to other countries

The EU has about 1/3 more people than the US. If you put it in context, it's way worse for the US.

How do you say 3/3? March 3rd or the 3rd of March? Honestly curious

JayEnfield
At the end of the timeframe depicted, heart disease would be at about 8 million or so deaths.
Thefrontineofjonty
You're right that info graphic is misleading. The listed causes of mortality only 7% of global mortality. Cardiac and cancer eclipse cv19.
BwianOfNazareth
These are merely 1st world problems. The "rest" of earth's population is much larger - but by far not as visible in media and politics...
VinnieJonesDiary
None of them are one thing (think of the hundreds of different forms of cancer) so it's not really fair to compare, Covid19 has one cause
ArealJim
The same comparison could be made for literally every topic mentioned. Drowning "including deaths during ship sinking is faaaair"
dragoneyed29
Other than Parkinson’s, most of these are in the “more preventable” range. Heart disease is often an “everyone dies of something” category.
IllicitEloquence
Because that doesnt fit the narrative of fear
xgilgaladx
The narrative of fear? Because, unlike heart disease, this virus doesn’t care so much if you take care of yourself, eat well, exercise 1/

D0ntB3ThatGuy
How is it being blown out of proportion? I'm actually interested in what your perception is of how it's over blown and I'm not judging you
TheFallenTwo
The situation is very serious, but the graph makes it seem like it's the world's biggest killer at the moment which it isn't.
D0ntB3ThatGuy
Right but your interpretation of the graph is also subjective. Seems like a lot of people understand it's not the world's biggest killer 1/2
D0ntB3ThatGuy
Would placing cancer and heart disease deaths make it better? That's also subjective. Context isn't a clear cut thing
ALAsynthase
Causes included in the chart were chosen because they could be eclipsed by C19. The causes left out would provide a more realistic context.
D0ntB3ThatGuy
What is the more realistic context though? Context of causes of deaths? In the West we are repeatedly beaten over the head about cancer and
D0ntB3ThatGuy
Heart disease. Would these have improved the understanding of Covid-19 lethality? I don't think it would. As it stands right now does it? No
Tinoki
Heart disease kills someone every 38 seconds, so it’d kinda harm the narrative that COVID is a #1 killer
FiftyShadesOfCauliflower
It's difficult to separate heart disease from old age-related heart failure tho. Chances are we'll all suffer heart disease at some point.
FiftyShadesOfCauliflower
Same applies to cancer. If you live long enough, you will get cancer at some point.Might as well list "dying in your sleep" as the #1 killer

No. Heart disease is a disease of the well fed and older. Not the majorjty of the world struggling for shelter, safety and food.

Heart disease is a 'first world' cause of death that comes from inactivity, age and diet rich in calories (and strongly genetic).
