It is worth pointing out that CoVID has killed less people in 2020 than Tuberculosis did last year, a disease which is also an infection of the lungs, Tuberculosis a disease for which there are vaccines costing less than 0.20 euro and for which there are treatments. However, Tuberculosis is a bacterial infection when Covid is a viral infection. Tuberculosis is most killing in Africa (almost half of the deaths) and South East Asia (almost half of the deaths) when Covid appears to be killing West Europe and Americas.
