Although that was magically cured weeks after it came to western countries
Over 11,000 people died in West Africa between 2014 and 2016.
Meanwhile, it has recently killed over 2000 people in Congo and counting.

I'm having back pains that are older than you.

Smoking, drinking, and eating cardboard fast food are choices -- you get what you ask for.
I don't recall being given a choice about covid-19 -- for which there is no cure, and it won't go away until there is one, which could take a couple of years.Sander Rossel wrote: 177,000 deaths from COVID-19 Times eight is what?
And note that eight is a conservative estimate, given that it took a couple of months for it to gain a foothold in the entire world.

There IS a difference, of course.
Smoking, Drinking, and to a lesser extent Obesity are personal choices. You can decide not to smoke or drink, or decide to go on a diet. In other words, these are lifestyle choices. Covid-19 is not such a thing. Closing down the economy to stop smoking and drinking would in all likelyhood be counterproductive. Closing down the economy to avoid close social interaction will reduce the transmission of Covid-19. The maths of it is trivial and should not need explaining to software engineers.

I went out on a wrong promise, saving as much lives as possible.
The premise should've been, saving my life and those I love as much as possible.
In my boundless naivety I assumed we were trying to make the world a better place

An interesting experience! Answers covered a wider range of topics than I expected.

Sometimes you get the impression that the information available on the web site is not commonly known in the USA.
But that might be moving into politics, which we are not supposed to do.

But if you explicitly emphasize numbers that make a significant share of the readers exclaim: But that's not what I heard on TV last night! ... then it has suddenly turned into politics.

One of the graphs I have never seen is the deaths by age group. Seems like mother nature is targeting the those who can no longer reproduce!

Please, some recommendations on Android development in languages that do not impose the class keyword.
I need development tools and a language that has bindings to the Android programming API equal in rights to the Java programming language.
The problem is that I picked The Corona SDK and I liked it very much after working with one or two examples. When it came time to do what I really want, a file explorer, it became obvious that The Corona SDK doesn't have access to the file API of Android. It could use only some sand boxed storage for persistence.
To be quite specific, the win32 API is C native, but all you have to do to program win32 applications in Pascal with equal rights and power is to have the Pascal versions of the equivalent include files a C programmer uses to program in Windows.
I would be happy to learn of such a programming environment in a language like: C, Go (Dart is out of the question), Rust... Something that can deal with objects, but doesn't involve classes.
Thanks

Assembly certainly does not make you free from responsibility

Almost didn't come back. Still undecided.
Unfortunately, I like trying to help people so I spend time in QA.

I have been a member for a long time and I decided I will play by the rules in order to stay here. It is that important to me.
That is not to say I don't like to be censored or punished for speaking my mind, but this is the wrong site to be doing that anyhow. I can always go to 4chan and piss people off there with ZERO repercussions. lol.

Do you know of an assembly development environment for Android?
