There's a good enough vaccine to get the virality rate below one. But I do think there will be at least a short term moment where after a period of a lot of despair, and economic, and health disaster, a huge number of people die in tragedy, by mega tragedy, by any metric.

But the problem is that single golden metrics hide valuable insights and, more often than not, drive bad behavior. Here's my proposal: If you are pushed to have a single golden metric, give it a partner. The BFF metric you find should not be one that is very far away. So, great metric. Honestly, who can blame them.

Many used some data, but they unfortunately used silly data strategies/metrics. And silly simply because as soon as the strategy/success metric being obsessed about was mentioned, it was clear they would fail. It is a really good metric. There are many spectacular reasons for why Like (and +1s, Followers) is a horrible metric.
