Movies were an escape from the Great Depression and World War II for my mother

 She started going to movies around 1925 when she was 5 or 6 years old with her father and two sisters then. They all passed away (the three sisters) and their mother all at 90 years of age which I thought was interesting too. So, there is definitely longevity on both sides of my family because my great Grandmother lived to be 105 on the other side as well. I think it has a lot to do with genetics, temperament and diet and activities and education. All these things.

But, during crises I find movies can be soul surviving things. Things aren't always perfect but often movies can provide the escape you need to survive difficult times in your lives like during the Coronavirus pandemic which is as bad or worse than the Great Depression or World War II. Other times I found movies very helpful to mental and physical survival were the Viet Nam War, The Kennedy Assassination, The Cuban missile Crisis, the Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King assassinations, 9-11, The Great Recession etc. etc. etc. and of course the present Coronavirus which death wise makes all the others pale in comparison.

A total of 2,977 people were killed in New York City, Washington, DC and outside of Shanksville, ...

Even if we use only the tested deaths in the U.S. we already have lost more than 67 times the number of people to 9-11 already just here in the U.S. using the figure 200,868 as the basis.

 More than 67 times  as many people as were lost during  9-11-01 have already been lost here in the U.S. that were tested to Coronavirus. 

 

It is my present belief that the coronavirus is going to kill worldwide more people than died in World War II at the very least. However, this likely will be hidden from the people of the world so many don't just panic and die during the next 10 years or so worldwide. So, I'm thinking that around 100 million people or more likely will be around the final tally of deaths worldwide.

Part of the reason is most nations aren't even testing 10% of their people around the world. Only a few are really good at testing like South Korea and a few others and are succeeding in protecting their people from deaths and maiming from coronavirus.

So, the true number of untested coronavirus deaths likely are more than 50 times what some countries are telling us. So, likely the true death toll might me never known to anyone.

For example, there were 3 million less cell phone accounts in China after the Wuhan epidemic had taken it's toll. So, does that mean that 3 million people died from coronavirus and other effects? OR does that mean that 3 million families died or members of those families died from coronavirus and other related issues?

Unknown and possibly always unknown except for satellite data worldwide.
