Strong supporting evidence that the Chinese numbers are fake (duh). Increasing evidence that the virus is ramping up again in China after loosening of restricts. Going to be a very long year folks.https://twitter.com/cowboyInNY/status/1243541979138580481 …

I'm generally of the opinion that the economic stimulus is not going to work as well as people are hoping. Basically, the idea is: no amount of money or gift cards, whatever, will create the impulse to buy a cruise ticket or go to a restaurant.

It's important to know that things like this happen. 1945-2020 was an unusually good period in the West. Almost no hardship or big disasters. How much stimulus do we pump into the system when we don't get a summer? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Year_Without_a_Summer …

If this is true, NYC is going to get wiped out by this bug. 50% positive rate? Must be a ton of undiagnosed cases. https://twitter.com/antonioregalado/status/1243626438500192263 …

I'm pretty blown away right now. I see videos of people on subways in NYC and that city is not taking nearly the precautions they need to. NYC might, real talk, be worse than Wuhan soon.

They haven't released the denominators they're using to derive these numbers.
@TweetBenMax has a good explainer on the chart. Basically meaningless.1 reply 0 retweets 1 like -

Yeah, de blasio has been extremely cagey about releasing meaningful information about infection rates across neighborhoods. He has a press conf at 530 from what I hear, but expect him to be late. I don't think we'll get any meaningful info til next week earliest.

The chart is basically a heat map of economically disadvantaged parts of the city, so the way I'm interpreting is that the red zones are only testing the most glaring cases.

If you don't have money, you wouldn't get tested unless you were sure you had it right? Makes sense.

Yeah exactly. DeBlasio is generally a terrible mayor, but his handling of this has been particularly atrocious. I'm surprised more people aren't clamoring for him to resign. How's austin handling things?

Don't really know, tbh. We've been dealt a much easier hand (low density, minimal public transportation, advance warning, etc.).
