Just a reminder that if COVID-19 was 'just like the flu' and the people dying were 'gonna die anyway' there wouldn't be a WORLDWIDE, unprecedented in modern times, DROP in LIFE EXPECTANCY. 
Notice that Africa, the Continent with the youngest population, was not spared the drop in life expectancy. It is not only the 'old and frail' that are dying.
Also, China opened up only in late 2022, so the drop in Asia is despite China having no drop in life expectancy due to its responsible but much maligned in the West 'dynamic zero covid' policy. Compare it to India where Delta killed millions of people. Look at that 2021 drop. 😱
Unfortunately, Oceania will show a big drop in 2022 and China will also see a drop for 2022.
It will be 'interesting' to examine the world life expectancy numbers for 2022.
