The Covid epidemic will have little if any long-lasting effect on global death numbers which have been slowly increasing year-on-year. The number of deaths per year are currently 50 something million (I found data up to 2015 after that the numbers are harder to find).
The number of deaths reported as “Covid” currently stand at 500 thousand. We know that the elderly who already had serious underlying health issues have made up most of the Covid death numbers.
The main effect of Covid was to bring the numbers earlier (hasten the end) rather than add a new source of death to the numbers. Even if the Covid numbers double to say 1 million you still wouldn’t see a bulge or spike in the overall global death numbers. Moving from say 57 million to 58 million would hardly show on the graph below.
The long lasting damage caused by Covid is limited to the ghastly over the top knee-jerk reactions of politicians around the globe and how their actions have wrecked economies.-1 -

It’s a decent curry place. My all time favourite was one on the Isle of Dogs, called The Lancer. They fed me pints whilst waiting on the takeaway. Could sink three pints and they wouldn’t take a penny. Unsurprisingly it’s shut down now.
Ah The Lancer. Great food.1 -

Beijing seeing an outbreak over the last few days.
I have friends living in various parts of China and they all say places have been in lockdown and the COVID death numbers are being suppressed. NEVER trust the Chinese.0 -
