lock downs and funneling resources to covid are taking away resources from things like malaria, HIV/AIDS, and TB both in the US and around the world.
"Substantial progress has been made in reducing the burden of malaria in Africa since 2000, but those gains could be jeopardised if the COVID-19 pandemic affects the availability of key malaria control interventions."
Ruining and ending millions of lives that otherwise would be getting the help they need.
"The COVID-19 pandemic has exerted enormous pressure on health systems in well resourced, high-income nations worldwide. Although many malaria-endemic African nations have shown remarkable resilience and adaptivity in the face of previous global health threats,31 they nevertheless face the unprecedented challenge of COVID-19 with a comparatively lower health-care system capacity and a higher baseline level of malaria burden. Our analysis suggests that the direct response to COVID-19 must be integrated with efforts to ensure malaria control is maintained. Failure to do so risks amplifying the mortality caused by this pandemic, especially in children, and reversing of one of the most impactful public health campaigns of the past two decades."
Your last statement, well go ahead and inject whatever politics you want to move the goalposts from what the conversation is about to make yourself feel better.
