People are writing stories about why Brazil is facing a rapid rise in coronavirus cases, but I want to read the stories about why Egypt, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Nigeria and Pakistan are not. And they really aren't, and it is beyond time for people to get curious about why not.

Standard responses I get to this line of inquiry are "just you wait, it will get worse", "we're not seeing the real data", and "show me the peer-reviewed studies that back this up". But we can't all go McClellan on this topic, and refuse to act on partial information in a crisis

I think this is hurting the punditry and maybe little else. Here in Harris country, leaders are trying to make decisions directly impacting their jurisdiction with the data they have but getting overruled by a Texas executive looking to play a different political game.

The new hot spots in rural parts of Texas had little view or care of what was going on in New York. I think your concerns are valid but are punditry problems. The boots on the ground policymaking is experiencing a different problem.

What it says in the tweet—that journalists tend to be anxiety-prone people who live in NY and DC.
