I am not sure what point you are trying to make. You point out a comparison of two other causes of death, neither of which are contagious.
Would you feel the same if someone sneezed on your and a couple of days later you had a heart attack?
Minimalizing a half million deaths like this that are preventable is not acceptable to me. Heart attacks and other non-contagious causes of death are bad and most preventable to some degree, but you cannot kill me with a heart attack by simply sneezing on me. The treatment for heart attacks does not have to change because there is a breakout of a new variant of heart attacks in other countries.
It is like comparing crayons and cream soda.
