I wouldn’t disagree. COVID will be known as one of the “lesser” great plagues. The ordinal question is whether a breakout variant is still COVID.

When this infographic is updated in 2023, using global excess mortality estimates, how big will the Covid ball be? I say 10 million.

My beef w/ the graphic is that some pandemic bodycounts extend across centuries, while others are more defined. If COVID breakout variants count as COVID, for example, then the future bodycount would be much higher (unless some future vaccine or treatment stops the lineage).
