    The CDC has long been an exemplar of American competence. Reading this, I can't help but think... Go create an email address at ProtonMail and get in touch with me at alexis.madrigal@protonmail.com Let's talk.

  4. I want to say one thing about state health departments. We spend a lot of time pointing out things they do wrong or mistakes they've made. But everyone at understands how hard the job is, and we know they are doing heroic work.

  5. Great news. And thank you to and for cracking this one open. Now let’s hope no other state tries this — or that those who have unwind it as quickly.

    I don’t have evidence for this yet, but take a look at the latest numbers from . We’re seeing test numbers surge... but Quest did less PCR tests last week than the week before, and almost 300k serology tests. 🧐🤔

    I am having a recurring nightmare that some states may be reporting antibody tests *inside* their current testing numbers, without disclosing it. This would be a disaster they’d have to unwind that would misleadingly push down positive test rates quickly.

    Thinking a lot about the COVID-19 numbers drifting downwards as New York cools. Everyone has talked about the peak, but my guess is that today will end up feeling like a bottom. If by next Monday, we don’t see the numbers ticking up, it will be a happy (and welcome) surprise.

    We're encountering this a lot right now. There are often multiple "right" ways of doing something—and so states choose a path that works for them. Unfortunately, that sometimes makes it very difficult to compile meaningful national numbers.

    Also, some states decided to report *cumulative* hospitalizations and some decided to report *current* hospitalizations. At , we ultimately decided that there was no way to provide a national summary statistic. If they'd all gone one way, we could have.

    >’s latest story shows that the disaster of a response is not behind us, but ongoing. This quote from sums it up. We’re in the eye of the pandemic storm, and there are a lot of people saying, “Go outside, the weather is fine!”

    Seriously, if you’re at the CDC, what do you have left to lose? If not now, when? A reputation built by thousands over decades has been torched in 3 months.

    This is right: the basic features of SARS-CoV-2 mean that, regardless of model, most conclusions would be very similar. You can't have a v. transmissible, quite deadly disease floating around without huge problems. Look at how v. different countries reacted. There's a reason.

    And with that final FOIA request submitted, my day finally ends—15 hours after it began. 😰 Next up: a few minutes reading Jack London’s post-apocalyptic plague novel. To relax.
