I guess ultimately, we'll see. My sense is that this is a planned control tactic more than disease response.

In 2017 the WHO reported up to 650 000 people die of respiratory diseases linked to seasonal flu each year

https://www.worldometers.info/ also reports that:

• 3,221,917 Communicable disease deaths this year
• 120,664 Seasonal flu deaths this year
• 1,240,694 Deaths caused by smoking this year
• 620,740 Deaths caused by alcohol this year

but we have yet to lock down the planet due to flu, smoking, or alcohol.

2,000,000 deaths / 7,700,000,000 world population = 0.026% death of world population
