Ps - to clarify I don’t mean @Stonehedge or @GoatandTricycle are disappointed that excess deaths aren’t higher. I know they are both good faith posters, (though I do think @Stonehedge has a sub conscious bias to pessimism).
I had twitter posters like Deepti Gurdasani and Christina Pagel in mind. And of course I don’t really mean that they wish more people had died. But I do think that once they have called for something ( lockdown measures), they have a strong psychological motive to look for and present data points as to why those proposed measures should have been implemented, irrespective of what the reality is.
