All the COVID tracking is essentially propaganda. Like calling a marathon at Mile 5, but even worse, because there really isn’t just one metric that can tell you how you’re doing. Sweden, for example, was pilloried because their policy had them run their marathon through all up-front. Now they get to essentially return to life as they once knew it, having never had to strictly lockdown like what you see in Australia right now. So it’s not just death rate, because you have to adjust for whether you can reasonably say you’ve finished the race, or whether your running on a treadmill at Mile 1 just hoping the race gets “canceled” (effective vaccine in widespread deployment) before you run out of stream.
