Subject: RE: Tell me why these numbers are wrong



I agree that question matters a LOT.

But if you’re saying we are far enough into this thing now that we can know that answer, then we’re not going to agree.

I will say this. If we get to the end of 2020 and 2.8M people died (just like a normal year), we over-reacted.

If we get to the end of 2020 and 2.9 or 3M people died, we probably did about right.

If we get to the end of 2020 and over 3M people died, we didn’t do enough.

Right or wrong, I think that is where my position falls in terms of economics vs lives. I’m saying we’re doing about the right amount of intervention if it keeps actual coronavirus deaths (people that would not have died anyway in 2020) below 200,000. If we fail to keep true coronavirus deaths under 200,000, we’re not doing enough.
