Look, I'm sorry, but your analyst is taking crazy pills if he mocks up a system that flunks California and gives NY a gold star.

Strongly disagree. NY has made immense progress. You can argue that it’s from a low baseline, but the reality is that NY is safe now in a way that almost nowhere else in the country is.

Check your reading comprehension. That's all.

@webdevMason, I really don't mean this in a bad way, but imo you've become more abrasive / hostile recently in a way that is probably net-bad for the things you care about(?) Just an outside view I wasn't sure you'd hear elsewhere, if you endorse this feel free to ignore

(long time follower, just noting how I've felt recently reading your tweets vs a year or two ago. Again, feel free to ignore. Would have DMed this, but closed so buried thread seems next best)

My tolerance for people's tendency to bring whatever their pet slogan or sound bite is onto my tweets is running close to zero, probably because the volume has become ridiculous as I've gained followers.

I'm not going to sit here and explain the difference between criticizing New York's strategy and criticizing an unfair comparison to California. It's right there in the tweet! I'm generally aiming for an unfollow so I don't have to deal with future fallout.

Hey fair enough. FWIW: “New York is The Best at COVID” is very far from a pet slogan of mine. I just think that the comparison to CA is quite fair and that while you’re right 99/100 times on this subject, this is the time you’re not. That’s all.
