Reply To: Empirical data on 2nd wave

Data needs context. Measure the “normal” death rate. If instead of 2.8 million deaths, there are 3 millions deaths, that does NOT suggest a disaster that warrants the social and economic disruption. If instead of 2.8 million deaths, there are 28 million (what one expect from Smallpox or Plague, and probably ten times that), there is a need to panic.
