Strange, that same observation and the corresponding 3 million worldwide deaths yearly didn’t change our attitude towards fossil fuel combustion and its air pollution.
Even more remarkable, the fact that nuclear is kept out of the hands of corporations, but the oil industry is not might have been the cause that the latter put so much money and effort into the nuclear fear campaign.
More people die of fossil fuel air pollution per year than have died of COVID. We might have saved more lives during the lock down by the reduction in pollution than the actual virus containment.
