Great question — and it gets to the heart of how we assign value based on proximity, fear, and control.
When 9 million people starve each year, most of them are poor, far away, and politically invisible. Their deaths are slow, preventable, and systemic — which means they don’t spark panic, they just become background noise in a world of artificial scarcity and profit-driven logistics.
COVID, on the other hand, hit the rich, the powerful, the visible. It disrupted economies, hospital systems, and daily life in countries that are used to thinking they’re immune to that kind of suffering. It was fast, contagious, and didn’t respect borders — so it triggered a global response, not necessarily because it was more deadly, but because it made the privileged feel vulnerable.
We should have the same urgency and empathy for starvation as we did for a pandemic. The fact that we don’t is a reflection of a broken value system — not a lack of capacity to act.
