Should we change our focus from infection rates to death and hospitalisation rates?
The disease is with us and will remain with us for years to come. Given that people need to eat we need to get the global economy moving again. That means we need to protect those who are vulnerable while opening up our economy as much as possible.
The infection rate in the US is increasing at what seems to be an alarming rate but the death rate is continuing to decline, as is the number of people in hospital with the disease. Should those be the numbers we concentrate on?
