      As another commenter said

      This list is ordered by the fatality rate, not by the number of deaths

        I’m not concerned about the order. One would think all of the deadliest viruses would have more deaths. Not just 4 or 5 total. That’s why I am asking if they are all meant to be per year or if they literally are the total number of deaths period.

          It’s about fatality rate. The percentage of people that get the disease and die. In case of the lujo virus apparently only 5 people got infected.
