WASHINGTON, DC. Much of the major media have continued their 24-7 broadcast over Covid-19. The virus has thus far killed 74,165 people on the entire planet of 7.8 billion people. As it appears most of those deaths were elderly and in poor health to begin with.

What is not well covered is sometimes the obvious.

WHO: Tobacco Kills 8 Million Every Year.

World-wide tobacco-related products kill 21,917 people every day; that’s over 8 Million deaths per year. Notice there is no ban on selling tobacco products in every neighborhood convince store or market.

The National Institute of Heath discussed social distancing in order to help reduce the chance of contracting Covid-19. The NIH has not said a peep about social distancing from the 650,000 people who end up dying from the Flu-Virus every year.

USA: Second-Hand Smoke Kills 12x More People Than Died From the 9-11 Attacks.

We know non-smokers are at health risk from being around the carcinogenic tobacco smoke. Some 3,287 people die every day from second-hand tobacco smoke – that’s 1.2 million deaths world-wide according to the World Health Organization.

In the United States, some 480,000 people die every year from tobacco-related illness according to the CDC – that’s 40,000 deaths every month.

Second-hand smoke kills 3,416 people every month or 41,000 year in the USA.

In fact, as tragic as it is, second-hand smoke kills more people per month in the USA, than the number of people who were killed (2,977) on 9-11-2001.

Let’s not talk about these massive deaths because we need to keep most of the country and the planet away from each and spend 24-7 broadcasting the (current) 74,165 deaths caused by a coronavirus?

It’s not likely that global population is really at risk. Every day about 360,000 new babies are born. With people not working, staying at home, and not a whole lot to do, that number might just increase significantly.
