We shouldn't call the coronavirus a pandemic when it's not even a single order of magnitude greater (in deaths). The IFR for coronavirus is relatively understood now and is reasonably close to that of seasonal influenzas (i.e. within a single order of magnitude). We should stop calling it a pandemic and deescalate the response. Or if these deaths are truly unacceptable, than the seasonal influenza should also be classified as a pandemic as it kills thousands each year as well.
