"... has killed more than 865,000 Americans, ..."

Can we start holding people and publications to differentiating for past variant vs. Omicron, etc? It deserves and necessitates such nuance.

I don't see how we could ask that of either people or publications - the data simply doesn't exist. Only a tiny fraction of Covid cases get genetically sequenced.

So perhaps we should add huge qualifiers to all these scary sounding numbers, eh? Because the lack of context throughout this pandemic has created vast amounts of ungrounded, unchecked fear and hysteria.
