Maybe this is hyperbole from the Guardian but this article suggests 250 million people face starvation due to the coronavirus. It's not made explicit in the story but i assume that's due to the containment strategy not the actual virus. How is that not a bigger story? If it's true, then the lockdown to prevent the virus will prove many times more deadly than the actual virus. Doesn't that deserve more discussion? Or doesn't it matter if the deaths are mainly in third world countries?
