As I said, the numbers you are talking about will be dwarfed by suicide and other deaths as a result of the lockdown, not to mention mass scale violence and abuse of all kinds. Regarding malaria: "In 2017, it was estimated that 435 000 deaths due to malaria had occurred globally, of which 403 000 deaths (approximately 93%) were in the WHO African Region." Our lockdown conditions will be a little different to Africa's. Just have a look at this video. South African's calls to Lifeline SA are skyrocketing. Inundated with calls re. depression and "gender-based violence" off the hook as a result of the lockdown. The number of calls previously received in a week, now being received in a day, around 3,200 mentioned. "Particularly women who find themselves in that home situation that has now become the abuse ground where many of them feel like they are trapped " (Quote from vid) Imagine how bad it is. Not from corona. From the lockdown. It's devastating, and IMO, very wrong.VIDEO

do you really think people will suicide more over being bored at home and watching their shareholding’s slide than getting depressed over watching their parents and friends die?
