I'm just listing major causes of death. People are not going to stop dying just because of social distancing. And if it's a choice between putting food on the table of having a phone a lot of people are going to go with putting food on the table.

you don't understand.
food on the table and a phone isn't a choice in china: you will have a phone, regardless of whether or not you have food.

phones aren't what they are over here. want to travel? show me your phone says you're green. you want to ride the train? even before corona, some cities required your phone to do so. certain apps are mandatory and of course all the data is directly tied to government. your movement, your data, all of it, is directly controlled by government with a phone. this isn't a particular choice, it's a necessary function.
