    In 2019, there were 405,000 deaths from malaria worldwide (source:WHO). You have to be careful comparing a new, spreading pandemic to an established disease, but it is interesting that the two afflictions are polar opposites in who they affect the most, rich countries vs. poor.

        We shut down the world economy for one, while the other is just kind of a fact of life despite our knowing exactly how it spreads and how to fight it. Malaria was entirely eradicated in the US by 1940 thanks to a lot of hard work, and then we just kind of said "good enough"pic.twitter.com/cuCWGWztWh

        According to WHO, eradicating malaria would cost on the order of $34 billion, and prevent an additional 2 billion malaria cases and 4 million deaths by 2030. Yet we will spend trillions on covid-19.https://www.who.int/news-room/detail/23-08-2019-rising-to-the-challenge-of-malaria-eradication …

        Given that we're going to spend an unlimited amount on coronavirus, which affects the developed world, and that we'll have to mount a global health response, this is an incredible opportunity to go after other infectious diseases, at (relatively speaking) zero marginal cost.

        The funding requirements for eradicating tuberculosis (which kills 1.6 million people a year) is on the order of a few tens of billions of dollars. Again, basically free compared to what will be spent on covid-19. So let's do it!https://www.who.int/tb/strategy/end-tb/en/ …

        Fighting a respiratory infection like covid-19 is also a heaven-sent opportunity to address the number one killer in poor countries, lower respiratory infections. If we're going to spend all the money (which I'm all for!) let's get the most bang we can. https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/the-top-10-causes-of-death …pic.twitter.com/CxsjQERGk6

        It's interesting that malaria, TB etc don't show up on those infographics about biggest pandmemics in history like plague, Spanish flu etc. Thinking about this I'm also reminded of the Onion headline: "Experts: Ebola Vaccine At Least 50 White People Away".

        covid likely will affect the poor much worse than the rich countries, it will just take a longer time to happen
