Yuck. Not sure who you imagine Monica Gandhi is, other than a (non-tenured?) medicine prof at UCSF and a minor Twitter influencer. Without more context, the video could as well be the inauguration of the corner icecream shop.

Frankly, I have little interest in quibbling with those that have made 'cumulative deaths with covid per million' the ultimate measure of human worth and achievement. Have a great day.
