Exactly: why all this focus on deaths, when sickness rates are massive and are sure to have horrific long terms outcomes for more people than those that die. Intensive care strongly implies bad things are happening.
John Ioannidis has been a fabulous force for good fighting scientific fraud and misinformation. But clearly he doesn’t know what effective decision making looks like. It usually doesn’t look very academic in my experience! edit: I mean decision making in an emergency (we did have two months to be proactive, but now we have a reactive emergency).
