Still getting people in my comments insisting that Japan must be hiding tens of thousands of new cases, because the decline in the official numbers doesn't match their expectations of how outbreaks happen and are contained. But the decline is real, not an artifact of testing.https://twitter.com/motokorich/status/1259778325410508800 …

I mean WA which has had some of the strictest social distancing in the world has had major outbreaks across low-income areas and the same is true in Singapore, I wouldn't necessarily conflate geography with sociology is all I'm saying

Yes, that's a good point. I mean "geographic" empirically and not in any way as a suggestion that the explanation of all this is tied to geography.

Isn't the dogma is that warm weather and most interventions (mask wearing, social distancing, test-and-trace, etc.) work very well when applied early enough? Doesn't that fit the facts that countries with later outbreaks are doing better? And just a few countries did well early?
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

I think a lot of qualified epidemiologists *are* trying to find the answer to this question. The people you’re shouting at on Twitter aren’t among them. The only thing you’re going to accomplish by shouting here is to encourage an uninformed political debate.

I'm not shouting at anyone. And there's lots of great epidemiologists on Twitter—more every day.pic.twitter.com/r0mCeDDkyD
