I'm using the numbers of the Wiki site. They show a total of 775,834,237 cases worldwide as of today, and deaths at 7,037,007. Dividing the latter by the former gives .009 or a 0.9% rate of death once having contracted the virus.
Dividing the world population of a bit over 8.1 Billion by the total number of cases shows that less than ten percent of the world's people ever contracted the virus. Probably a LOT less than 10% because that number is CASES, and we all know that many people got it more than once.
I have no axe to grind with the data, it's just if you use the available numbers, you see that Covid has killed more people per day worldwide than any of those other diseases on the chart. But not at first - like in March of 2020. That's all.
