When you put it that way, my comment looks pretty insensitive for trying to hedge. Of course HIV/AIDS counts for this!

I didn't intend to put you on the spot. I was equally surprised when I looked up the numbers. I knew HIV/AIDS death numbers were bad, but not that bad.

And as an FYI, from the same UN site (abridged): Yearly HIV/AIDS deaths have been reduced by 60% since the peak in 2004. In 2019: 690k deaths. In 2004: 1.7M deaths.

Things weren't necessarily better in the past.

Technology and science developments help! It's not all tech gloom.
