Ah look, Nate grossly misrepresenting my position to create a neat straw-man. Full steam pundit habits! (That's about me, a thread about one of tweets). I obviously never compared media failure to government failure let alone say "as much" because that would be idiotic.https://twitter.com/NateSilver538/status/1243404943983169544 …

And yes, it was personally painful to spend late January and February trying to explain that this wasn't some low-risk anymore; that we were going to get hit for sure, and badly, and be told panic was worse, flu etc. One of my favorite cities in the world is being decimated.

Finally, if anyone is here for the Twitter fight. Please hop over to my we must all mask up thread (my NYT op-ed about it at the top). NYC will have to mask-up to get through this. Maybe local hospitals can lead, because everything else is failing.

Just adding this here. An honest reflection from a journalist, helps balance Nate’s straw man representation of my criticism that’s sadly too stupid to argue with. (I like substantial discussions, not caricatures.

Thank you! I absolutely despise the QT in 95% of all use cases. It robs the quoted of context, and is used simply to dogpile, taking the convo into "my turf", in my echo chamber. I completely stopped responding to QTs on this account, just can't stand its overuse any more.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
