**Audi alteram partem* (or audiatur et altera pars) is a Latin phrase meaning “listen to the other side”, or “let the other side be heard as well”*

The World-wide deaths attributed to COVID-19 up to date according to [worldometers.info/coronavirus/](https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/?ref=goodoil.news) are 860,266.

Out of a population of 7.9 billion that is 0.01% of total world deaths:

7,900,000,000 x 0.0109% = 861,100.

On average about 1% of the world population die every year:

7,900,000,000 x 1% = 79,000,000 normal average annual world deaths.

As a note of interest, these 79 million normal average annual deaths are replaced by two babies born for every one death.

COVID-19 deaths so far this year (8 months/Jan – August) account for about 1.1% of the normal average annual world deaths:

79 million x 1.1% = 869,000.

Non-COVID-19 deaths this year will account for about 99% of normal average annual world deaths.

In other words, statistically speaking, if you are going to die this year then your chances are 1% that your death will be from COVID-19, and **99% that your death will be from some other cause.**

So, can anyone tell me why there is a big fuss about COVID-19 and not about the other far greater causes of mortality?
