There is an opinion piece yesterday (3rd April) in NYT by David Wallace-Wells. The title “ Who Won Covid…..It depends on How you Measure”. Explaining a different way of measuring excess mortality and quoting a report in The Economist, the piece makes light of the Covid record of the West (USA) and attempts to turn the admirable record of countries in Asia and Africa ( in spite of the tough times in 2020 and part 2021) on its head on the claim of high unreported deaths. It contends that the vaccines could have saved three million deaths ( in the USA). Dr. McMillan or a group of experts could analyse the discussions in the piece. All such arguments must be weighed against the fact that in terms of its early phase presentations, Covid-19 disease should not have entailed even a single death. More so with Omicrons.
