The “global pandemic” one is likely a 90+% shortfall.

When researchers examine “excess deaths”, the spike from 2020 onward represents an additional 30 million deaths in excess to what should have occurred in the absence of COVID.

Also the global deathtoll to COVID directly is closer to 11 million not 2.5

Most “excess deaths” are directly COVID-related, in that COVID infection was the only reason why they died, a d yet their death was not properly recorded as having been from COVID, mainly for political reasons or lack of pre-death testing (because you cannot test a corpse).

There's also the people who died of other things while the hospitals were swamped and ambulance were not being sent

And that's only 1 global pandemic!
