Perspective during Lockdown
Using a CDC graph depicting deaths per capita per year from infectious diseases in the USA, I have calculated that the US in 2020 went backwards to between 1945-1948.
When my Grandad (who died recently) was born the deaths from infectious disease would have been twice what they were in 2020 in the US.
A modern day 100 year pandemic isn't half as bad as normal conditions when my Grandad was born!
And that's not taking into account polio which was more likely to paralyze or cripple than be deadly.
The 2020 conditions in the US brought infectious disease deaths inline with normal conditions about ten years before my Dad was born.
This is only of course if you were lucky enough to be born in a country where infectious disease was being managed effectively.
The new normal is not Lockdowns. The new normal is comparing statistics to the recent historical lows.
I hope this graph provides some perspective.
