You didn't check the box that says 'Adjust by population' did you?

The UK has two different entries for some reason.

Fair point, too many variables to make direct scientific comparisons between nations: populations size, efficacy of testing, etc.

My main point still stands tho, Norway locked down 10 days earlier, while Boris was still fretting that warning people off the pub was a bit harsh. What was gained by delaying, what was lost? I maintain that good governance has never been more important, and eventually it will be right there in the numbers for all to see.

As corona virus is now endemic and will never go away, the world population will have to gain immunity, and as there is no vacine the only way is to allow everyone to be infected, but doing so at a rate that people can receive treatment to reduce the death rate. But it's great to look up to the skies and not see any chemtrails!

# I'd be _very_ wary of articles on medium by armchair epidemiologists
But at least that one has endorsements from actual epidemiologists, and seems largely uncontroversial amongst those in the know. Lots are just flawed data analysis without context by tech bros.

Sorry this post has got a bit /links-y. For the avoidance of doubt I'm agreeing with your general point.

so he *must* know what he's talking about!
