270 million people set to starve to death, 30 million of which is a direct result of 1st world nations locking down. thats the equivalent of 82,192 human beings dying every day, if you divide it by 365, because the government wants to look out for your grandma |
We definitely need to be looking ahead now that there's a vaccine coming, and there is a strong correlation between unemployment and overdose deaths, so I agree that there's a lot that should be done
BUT
The 30 million refers to the number of people the WFP helps directly. That figure comes from the WFP president addressing the UN, asking for funding. It's not the number of people who face starvation as a direct result of lockdown policies on the supply chain (I don't think that number can be accurately estimated but, compounded by all the outside factors (war, political unrest, general Africa things) it's likely more than the total virus deaths). This guy is also a total vaccine shill btw

That’s the only food they get. If they don’t get the food we provide, the die.
