Nobel Prize for Science winner Professor Levitt of Stanford
- one of the few who called this thing correctly back in February
- with a population fatality rate of 0.04 to 0.05%, largely regardless of lockdown
Now calls it again - on how science has let us all down dreadfully:

On the "same as bad flu" - with a population fatality rate approx 0.04 to 0.05% (or ~500 in a million people) over the season - it is actually pretty much the de facto impact of a bad flu.
Argument against is: "the lockdown magicks kept it low" - but this is not evidence-based...

On the "lockdown magicks helped" - here's a direct compare, Sweden versus Denmark policy: https://twitter.com/FrankfurtZack/status/1277499978219499520?s=20
