The US expects at least 100,000 deaths. Extrapolated to the world population at the same rate, that's 2.4 million deaths.

That's just over a quarter of the annual deaths due to malnutrition.

Is it okay for me to just shed the equal amount of tears, or are people then going to accuse me of being emotionally stunted?

Definitely an okay sentiment in my opinion. First world countries haven’t had to face reality in a while apparently...
