Response to COVID deadlier than COVID itself

The report will stir up further debate as to whether the global lockdown will prove more deadly than COVID-19 itself, with extreme poverty being directly linked to death and shortened life spans. According to research published by Imperial College London and Johns Hopkins University, around 1.4 million people are expected to die from untreated TB infections due to the coronavirus lockdown.
Experts have also warned that hundreds of thousands or even millions of people could die in the longer term as a result of the lockdown preventing them from receiving treatment for cancer and other serious illnesses.
Given that many of those sunk into extreme poverty as a result of the lockdown live in sub-Saharan Africa, this could also exacerbate mass immigration from that region into Europe.

Perhaps we can see some real progress in Getting Back to Work in the next few months.
Wonder if its just that people are too afraid to go to doctor and report their symptoms.
Very irrational behavior to take a cruise now, imo.
Franklin Roosevelt declared during the panic of the Great Depression that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself. Unfortunately, today's governments are legislating, dictating and mandating out of fear and wrecking the world economies.
Perhaps some of them ARE seizing the moment to grab power and drive their people to submission, but I believe most are just floundering along trying to figure out a way to protect 100.0% of their citizenry from a perceived certain death of a flu.
The potential for 100 million more people being thrown overboard into poverty is a nasty result. The questions I have now are these:
1) Are the national leaders aware of the World Bank's stance on this economic crisis?
2) What will they do about it?
