Love in the time of corona

This pandemic has obviously changed everything. It is not only killing people; it is wrecking the world economies. The developed world is being hard hit. We are quarantined, cannot go to work, so millions are being laid off.
It's making me question some things. Are we in the "developed world" more afraid of death by disease than in the developing world? We are working so hard to prevent the spread of this disease because it's killing 3,000 per day. You know what else kills 3,000 per day? MALARIA. It kills 3,000 CHILDREN per day.
We have lost 80,000 souls worldwide to Covid-19 in 3 months. We lost over 1 MILLION to tuberculosis just last year. Those malaria and TB deaths are disproportionately in developing nations.What about HIV/AIDS? Last year, almost 1 million were lost to that disease, in spite of the herculean efforts worldwide to "contain" it.
I guess I'm struggling with seeing the madness surrounding Covid-19. I mean, I understand the systems that are in place and the procedures we all have to follow to contain this disease, or at least stop the rapid spread -- "flattening the curve".
But is this not what developing nations struggle with daily? Are their health systems not already overwhelmed and broken with what infectious diseases they face ALL the time? How is the West during Covid-19 different from their DAILY lives?
Their economies suffer because those in the workforce cannot work because they are ill or dying. Those who do work, even when sick, have lower productivity.
Maybe what I'm trying to say is this:
The developed world has led the way to halting the global economy to try to contain a disease that is killing many of its citizens at a time when the developing world continues to cope with the daily reality of losing its citizens to centuries-old killers like malaria and TB, as well as to newer killers like HIV/AIDS. Their economies already suffer under the burden of these well-known killers. Again I ask - is the West so scared of death that it would wreck our economies over a disease that kills far fewer? The harder question is this: Do the lives in Europe and America have more value than those in impoverished nations?
