If anyone's curious he's talking in terms of 9/11s per capita. Americans will use anything but metric.

Are those constant 9/11s though? Based on COVID policy I'm estimating that one human life in 2001 is worth several dozen in 2023

Turns out the 2020 economy is worth more than a daily number of 9/11 deaths.
