Not that I know of, no. But there sure are a lot of people on HN who get mad if you point that out. Look at my comment history to see the long and frankly tiresome battle against COVID hysteria dating back to March (when people were claiming Italian hospitals were already turning people away en-masse and ventilators were already exhausted, although it wasn't true!)

I read your entire comment history couple of weeks ago.

Great experience! Thank you for providing level headed and well articulated responses to the widely spread mass hysteria.

I also learned a lot, special thanks for pointing Thomas Howell's books. Reading now the 'A Conflict of Visions'.
