@trvrb Population-level mortality, not fatality-rate per infection is the true measure of a pandemic. I will die on this hill.

@trvrb Unless already infected, an individual's risk of death is better captured by population-level mortality not IFR.
-
@trvrb IFR doesn't even capture the level of risk of death from standing in front of an infected person.

@trvrb May I suggest that what @trvrb is talking about is the end of the "novel phase of the pandemic" and not the end of the "pandemic phase" itself.
