I just present it without comment, because the perspective media outlets are giving is pretty one-sided and panic-oriented. Here's a different one. Anyone can go check the numbers behind it all.
ES certainly has a negative view of the lockdowns and governance-by-panic in general and is not afraid to express that, but he at least believes the statistics (when in context and rightly understood) support it and he attempts to present the evidence.
People can do whatever they like with it, but it's helpful to see a deeper analysis in a world where most reporting on the virus is someone freaking out about one day's raw numbers, and other data points that in isolation are of limited use.
