> When did we switch the emphasis from tracking deaths, to tracking infections?
Never, infections have always been a foucs of tracking because infections lead hospitalizations lead deaths (and hospitalizations have second-order impacts on mortality from other causes when they reach a critical level, even beyond direct COVID deaths.)
If you only focus on deaths, you are weeks behind the curve in reacting.
