And it was my fault.”

today this prof was talking about how malaria kills over 1-3 million people every year and in the past three years, overall, covid's killed 6-5 million and asked why there isn't a worldwide concern for malaria as there was/is for covid. and yeah. bc it doesn't happen to first world countries, the disease is practically nonexistent to them. so those deaths are insignificant and overlooked, which very much wasn't the case with covid's deaths. and i think that was a very nice way for him to start his class. bless.
