Original Note:
Dr. Zeynep claims that Dr. Bhattacharya predicted that the pandemic will likely kill 20-40k. This is a mischaracterization of the quote. Quote: “But it could make the difference between an epidemic that kills 20,000 and one that kills two million.” Source: https://archive.ph/2024.11.25-192132/https://www.wsj.com/articles/is-the-coronavirus-as-deadly-as-they-say-11585088464
