The website I check has Brazil as 13th at the moment. Behin countries with severe lockdowns like Italy and Belgium. Likely the higher death tolls will be higher yes.....those countries generally have a less developed health care system
Anyway, what is your point? A modest death toll in India is millions of people? Yes indeed. If there were 500 billion people living on earth the death toll would be much higher still.
Fair enough that Brazil is (currently, slightly) behind not only Italy, but also Belgium, and a handful of countries in Southwestern Europe. I only checked vs. other large countries. (Check back in a couple weeks, Brazil is still climbing fast.) The point is, the Brazilian death toll per million is clearly among the highest in the world, which is in direct contradiction to the claim you made earlier that it wasn't.
The point about the death toll is that this is *literally millions of people dying*. Is that not something that worries you much? Or is it just "oh, some people are old, or have bad healthcare systems, or fat, or poor, so they were probably going to die anyway, better to lecture them about healthy eating than help stop this pandemic"? I do not understand the scattergun of points you are throwing out, but they seem both incoherent and (frankly) cruel.
