There have been 7M-13M excess deaths worldwide during the pandemic
This has me a bit confused: I look at the stats on cases and deaths per capita across various U.S. states, including California (which was very locked down, at least in theory) and Florida (which was flippant towards risks of contagion), and many states in between.  The per capita cases+deaths are nearly identical across many states with very different approaches. This left me really wondering which measures were and weren't necessary.  Anyone seen good studies or analysis on this?Legitimate question, please no political commentary.
