How the global economy is still recovering from Covid four years on | BBC News

It's four years since the first death from Covid was confirmed.

During the first year, 3 million people died from the virus, according to the World Health Organization - a figure that has now reached almost 7 million.

In terms of the economic impact, the pandemic wiped an estimated $2 trillion off the global economy in 2020 - a hit that it is yet to recover from.

It still pisses me off that they made food smaller so they keep the same price, but then they said fuck it we'll put the price up anyway. So now it cost less for them and they are making more money out of it.
