War remains the number one cause of death amongst the species.

That's definitely not true.

Incorrect it is pandemics and epidemics.

I'm sure I saw a chart showing CV was now the leading cause of death on Earth though I might be totally incorrect there, it was a few weeks back.

Well here was the leading causes of death in the US in 2017.

FastStats - Leading Causes of Death

This year so far in the USA, 132,000 have died of Covid. At the current rate, by the end of the year it will probably be the No.3 killer of people in the US this year, only cancer and heart disease will top the numbers.

Well as dear old Uncle Joe said

One death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic

and let's face it, he was in the position to know, having killed millions.

As had been said not true, but also take into account that the figures were fudged. More died from Gonorrhoea during WW1 than the fighting.

They're only dead if they have a death cert!
