    Any increase in deaths will almost certainly be offset by births 9 months from now. Hopefully Boomer V2.0 doesn't f*ck the world as badly as V1.0 did.

    It would be interesting to know the eventual overall death toll due to Covid-19 when account is taken of: Deaths from the virus, increased deaths from people unable to have medicines or hospital treatment for other illnesses, reduced deaths on the roads, increased deaths during home DIY, increased deaths from people foolishly making home alcohol, increased murders due to domestic disputes and crime on the streets, reduced deaths from drownings and other accidents when people are outside their homes, reduced deaths from pollution (or maybe just short-term relief), possibly (but hopefully not) increased deaths due to malnourishment or starvation.

    There may be many other factors I have not included but I think the overall impact, unless Covid-19 gets far worse, is that we might end up with less deaths. Economically, however, the overall effect will be nothing but a disaster for already weak economies.
