Cancer is common enough and bad enough that even a small difference matters. For comparison, even in the countries with the worst outbreaks, cancer is expected to kill more people than SARS-CoV-2 this year.

Cancer isn't one disease, though. We lump hundreds of conditions and causes under that descriptor. Counting cancer totals that way is more like counting SARS-CoV-2 and influenza and colds all together.
