        Where do economists learn statistics? This is silly.

        There's an old Deirdre McCloskey paper, "The Standard Error of Regressions" where she argued, only half kiddingly, that many econometricians care only about the sign of a regression coefficient.

        There could be many explanations. One might be that the U.S, which certainly skews the numbers, "benefits" from getting a large number of cases before many other earlier countries, like Europe, and can apply learned lessons (such as avoiding ventilators).
