What does better place mean?
I agree that potentially we could have saved healthcare dollars by flattening the peak and lengthening the duration. Whether this would have been a good economic or social choice I have no idea
I think the question of would we have saved lives is an open one.
Do you save lives if you can reduce the number of times a person is infected with Covid over their lifetime and does flattening peaks with health measures accomplish this? How best to time boosters with outbreaks? Essentially how to we optimize the infection of the public with each wave of the disease.
