If you have a laptop, you can see these data straight from the sources at worldometers.info and https://covid19.who.int/
I don’t want to convince anybody of anything.
I’m just passing along this info that I’ve collected and thoroughly crosschecked. There’s no way to make the numbers easier to read with Medium. Worldometers gives you a chance to see all 7.8 billion humans on one page, and see them multiply at the rate of 2 or 3 more humans on Earth per second.
How we’re living and how we’re dying: I’ve arranged these numbers to give you a way of knowing. I hope it helps.

Let’s Repeat Total Population and Look at Births and Deaths.
7,800,000,000 World Population
73,000,000 Births so far This Year (Global)
30,600,000 Total Deaths This Year
42,000,000 Net Population Growth
There Are Two Shockingly Big Numbers I’d Like to Show:
$208,000,000,000 Dollars Spent on Illegal Drugs so far this year
1,300,000,000 Blog Posts this year (not all mine)
These numbers are as correct as humanly possible. The only one that’s partially guesswork by WHO is the illegal drug sales.
