So @nytimes has a big story right now about a @fema model showing up to 300,000 deaths. The documents are “dated April 9,” the story says. So they must account for everything we’ve learned this week - which would be bad news. But what the chart actually says: “Models from 3/31.”pic.twitter.com/QaYi9f0S0C
You may understand why this matters - but if not - the @IHME_UW projections have been changed THREE times since March 31 (resulting in sharp cuts in hospitalization/ICU projections). If this were actually made yesterday, it would be frightening. Instead it’s just out of date.

You have to check the dates on stuff now more than ever.

A temporal eternity at this stage in time.
I'm sure I'm not the only one who has noticed the subtle switch in the media from "flatten the curve" to "save everybody". That was NEVER the goal. We're trying to prevent EXCESS deaths that would result from the overloading of the healthcare system.
Why exactly is the media relentlessly pushing the longer-shutdown narrative, thoughts?
I think it has to do with their own influence. If people aren't allowed to go out, and the media are (and they are always exempt form these orders), they get to set the narrative more easily.
