WELLLLLLL .... Laurie Garrett was just on the teevee and said that if social distancing etc had not been implemented a half a billion people would be dead now or dead shortly from now. Less than 8 billion people on the planet (not counting aliens and zombies). Chris Hayes was incredulous but moved on... does anyone believe theIFR is >5%? This is neil ferguson on steroids. Seriously WTF.
