Assuming the same per capita deaths, that would mean well over 4 million dead in China had they handled it like the US did, and the victims of communism foundation would be cheering screaming bloody murder
For real though, the Victims of Communism Memorial Fund is actually counting every single COVID death globally in their count; their rationale is China is communist and the virus came from there.
I actually got caught out making this argument against a lib friend of mine. It turns out that there is actually basically no one actually starving in the USA, thanks to food stamps. Malnutrition and food insecurity are still major problems, though.
(And of course the "starvation" referenced in the OP has to be bullshit--I don't think anyone in China starved to death because of lockdowns; that's ridiculous.)
Something like 1 in 5 Americans are malnourished or experiencing regular food insecurity. I think dying from lack of calorie intake is rare in America, but that hardly matters when 1 in 5 people develop any number of illnesses like iron deficiency or experience seemingly unrelated things like car accidents caused by fatigue.
People starving to death? Obviously a terrible thing. Anyway super cool no one has to starve in freedom capitalist good America

Mao starved 16,99,778,68546 people just yesterday
Does that take into account excess morbidity tho?
