Just to put some numbers on this, have a look at the “deaths/1M pop” column in this table: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries It’s clear that the official numbers are almost an order of magnitude

Personal anecdote - I became very good at one activity early on in life. This was at the expense of other things such as education and a social life. The dedication required to reach a high level of skill, and the journey overall was great

Intermittent (between 16/8 and 20/4), with 36 hour fasts if I feel the need; get a nice buzz at the end. I try not to do anything too demanding during longer fasts.

Excel is powerful. It does so many things really well. Sharing data between sheets in real-time isn’t one of them though (maybe I just haven’t found the right tool, so we went ahead and built one). I worked at a large fintech company a few
