In the UK last year
170,000 people died of heart disease, of whom 42,000 were classed as premature deaths. Of the corona deaths so far in this country, 140 were people under 40 years old. 165,000 a year die of cancer in the UK.
Stats like yours are utterly and completely useless other than as emotional triggers. You might get a job writing for the 10 o'clock news having said that.
