    I don't get the link. How does this news indicate COVID is just a health scare? Here's spreadsheet of excess deaths across OECD countries percentage-wise. And this is with pretty much all countries actively limiting spread. I'm always interested to know if it's not COVID-induced, what is it? Are people around the world eating more bats maybe?
