    actually...

    US covid deaths (1M) as a percentage of population (330M) comes out to 0.303030 (repeating of course)% if you apply that percentage to China's population (1.4bn) you get 4.24M

    the holocaust killed around 6M so if China was to follow the same Covid measures as the US it would only have caused 70% of a holocaust

    I give this post 4/5 pinocchios

      Actually Holocaust was 12 million. The 6 mil figure is only for Jews and ignores the Roma and gay and communist and disabled people also killed in death camps.

        It's also estimated that there were an additional three million undocumented people (homeless etc.). Alot of people were killed in the Holocaust, enough to where is was clearly noticable, especially in Eastern Europe.

      Haha

      yeah also some people estimated it would be higher because of population density, so it would be a whole Holocaust
