somethingor··on How I learned to stop worrying and love the lab-leak theory
Not intending to make the case that Covid-19 would barely be on anyone's radar, but here is a comparison with some past pandemics that went relatively unnoticed (afaik):

1957-1958 H2N2 pandemic[1]

- 1.1 million deaths worldwide (0.04% of world population of 2.9 billion)

- 116,000 deaths in the US (0.07% of US population of 174.9 million)

1968 H3N2 pandemic[2]

- 1 million deaths worldwide (0.03% of world population of 3.5 billion)

- 100,000 deaths in the US (0.05% of US population of 200 million)

Covid pandemic (so far)

- 3.39 million deaths worldwide (0.04% of world population of 7.9 billion)

- 586,000 deaths in the US (0.18% of US population of 330 million)
