As a famous pop science writer,that is necessary.

Give Calhoun credit, at least he gave 1.7 million number. I doubt it,s economist,s original data, if so, it should have been big news already. I didn’t,t read economist source yet, so correct me if some1 knows better.

Fang needs to state clearly

What is your number estimation following your way, how many die?

If you don,t trust Chinese number, what is your estimation

What about India in April 2021 or 2nd wuhan, would that happen or not using your way? If yes, is the answer “so what” ? If no, what is the reason ? Either way, it needs to be answered.

China just published data it way saved how many lives? Agree or not, I haven,t see fang commenting on that, if no what is his number?
Those things can,t be avoided.
