    66% of men in US say they sometimes/always wear a mask when going out. 29% once in a while/never. About 7% of all men say they're rarely or never wearing masks in order to make a statement that they're not afraid.

    men are refusing to wear masks in public because it makes them look “weak” and this was where our cultural obsession with being macho was always going to end up—with men literally dying because they don’t want to feel like a woman.

    Two pieces of great news here. The first is that hospitalizations are dropping and the second is that Central Jersey exists cc

    LOOK: The number of patients in our hospitals currently being treated for has dropped below 4,000 – to 3,958. Our Field Medical Stations reported 35 patients.

    This is so true, and it extends to a lot of small biz owners. You've planned, worked, saved for years to keep your company afloat before getting inundated by a pandemic wave. The foreclosure of that dream is a personal tragedy that also steals immeasurably from the community.

    There are so many fields — journalism & academia foremost amongst them, I think — where losing a job now means probably leaving the field forever. Not everyone, but a lot of people. It's not just a job. It's the end of a career, a vision of what your life was going to be like

    The says that fixing Virginia’s test data led to only “minimal change” in its percent positivity. I think that’s fair—it’s down 1% each week. But we can also see serology tests had *half* the positivity of PCR tests. The sero data was a big, convenient shot in the arm.

    Virginia has now de-juked their testing numbers, separating out antibody tests data from its count. We can now see that Virginia added nearly 15,000 antibody tests to its totals, boosting its testing count by more than 8 percent.

    In Virginia, officials were juking their coronavirus test statistics in order to improve their score on an online ranking of state responses to the pandemic. As in, they have actually said that! Explicitly! Our story from last night:

    Then read this by in Richmond, who first broke the test blending story last week. She shows how even AFTER Virginia combined its antibody and viral tests, its testing stats were still abysmal and far short of the governor’s initial goals:

    In Virginia, officials are blending the results of viral tests and antibody tests into one statistic so they can report more favorable numbers to the public. It’s one of several ways US coronavirus data remains messy. New, from me and :

    My inane takeaway from this is that climate policy is really central to today’s Democratic Party. The best-known young politician and the only former presidential candidate on here are co-chairing the climate committee.

    If we know anything about American undergrads, it’s that they’re interested in picking up what Zoom is putting down... they crave a type of knowledge that can be transmitted by Slack... all they think about is vigorous corporate-foundation relations

    A majority of Americans (61%) say the federal government is mostly (40%) or entirely (21%) responsible in making sure there are enough COVID-19 tests available to the public. 37% say this responsibility falls on the state government.

    "I find our testing record nothing to celebrate whatsoever," Sen. Mitt Romney says, pointing out that other nations will have testing rates go down because they don't have the kind of outbreak seen in the U.S.

    I’m being unfun and pedantic about this but the point is that even without (insert your favorite worthwhile policy idea here), tests still matter.

    Tests create information that allows: - contract tracers to find newly infectious people, - local leaders to make better decisions, - local residents to better understand their risks. Eventually wide-scale testing lets you find infectious people who aren’t yet symptomatic.

    I am not against testing but if you’re not going to quarantine the positive cases then what are the tests for?

    79% of unemployed or furloughed people support keeping the lockdowns going even at the expense of jobs--actually *higher than the general population*. "Open up" has always been about small biz owners, not the workers whose bloody shirts they're waving.
