Re: "It feels very much as if the authors of this piece did not read the critique of the SC or ask one of the statisticians who made these comments what they meant" Yup. https://twitter.com/stephaniemlee/status/1333894080191889409 … https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.05.22.20108944v3 … https://rss.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/rssc.12435 …pic.twitter.com/F13R46PNk0
