HOW DO PEOPLE DIE?

You might have heard that mosquitos kill more people than anything else.  Not so.  More than any insect, but not serious enough make the top three.  I asked Google AI about how people most die: "Old age" indirectly kills the most people annually , as age-related non-communicable diseases (like heart disease, stroke, and cancer) cause over 70% of all global deaths . However, if we strictly evaluate biological pathogens, bacteria are the deadliest category , killing roughly 7.7 million people every year (excluding tuberculosis) . [ 1 , 2 ] "Old Age" (Age-Related Diseases) ~41–45+ million Ischemic heart disease (9.5M), Stroke (6.8M), Cancer (10M), Dementia. Bacteria ~9+ million Lower respiratory infections (pneumonia), neonatal sepsis, and Tuberculosis (~1.2M). Viruses ~2–4 million (highly variable) Seasonal influenza, HIV/AIDS (~830K), Hepatitis, and viral pneumonia. (Fluctuates during pandemics like COVID-19). Insects ~700,000 to 1 million Malaria (~670K, tran...
