Strange.
A million people have died of COVID19 globally in the past 6 months.
64 people were attacked by a shark last year. 4 died.
Edit: Incidentally, the global estimated population is 7.8 billion. Deaths of 1 million people is 1 in 7800 people in the world. Factored for 12 months, if the rate keeps up, will mean that approx 1 in 3900 worldwide will die. If you factor in the infection rate is still increasing, it is likely to be even more than that.
Pretty fucking far from 1 in 30 million odds.
Edit 2: Thinking about it further, let's look at the United States. The current estimate of US population is 328 million. Current Covid deaths is 197,472. So that's a mere 1 in 1660 Americans that have died in the past 6 months. Or around 1 in 800 over the course of a year if statistics keep up the way they're going now.
