Our paper, that we worked hard to produce before the second wave, estimated that 21,000 excess deaths were caused by the 1 week delay in lockdown.
The paper was held up & eventually rejected by the Lancet. By the time it came out it could only offer a post mortem.

(📢) What Trump did today was not a SHOULD impeach, it was a MUST impeach.
He said anyone who challenges his authority—an authority he doesn’t have—to give illegal orders to the military must be executed.
That is a prima facie case for impeachment.
Articles should be drawn up.
