Who knows what #Covid_19 is in USA
Fewer than 100 people have been tested in NY City, yet 33 have tested positive
A v high concentration

“I think it’s fair to say we have no idea how many New Yorkers have been infected with this virus without knowing it”
nytimes.com/2020/03/06/wor…
Whilst there is a downturn in incidence in China and even in Hubei which, saving for Wuhan, had no new incidence today.

But Citizens were heard calling “It’s all fake from a balcony”.

I hope not.

“The president’s statements to the press were terrifying. That press availability was a repudiation of good science & good crisis management from inside one of the world’s most respected scientific institutions.”
wired.com/story/trumps-c…
The attack on the Washington State Governor (“that Governor was a snake”) was a spiteful effort to deflect his administration’s failings onto a Governor who was left to try and deal with the fall out.

Then the contradictions, misinformation, boastful bluster and lies..
There they were in the Scientific Institution supposed to instil Trust that the US is on top of the science & management of the new #CV19 and Trump did not hesitate to contradict Azar in his presence, who is on the #CV19 task force, but also Pence who is “leading” the task force

For the left, that means asserting that inequality is always rising. This is not only wrong, but dangerous in spreading the idea it is normal, when it’s anything but.

For the right...
theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
For the right, it’s trumpeting record employment and the fact that inequality hasn’t risen recently. This doesn’t recognise that we’ve never had it so bad when it comes to living standards growth and that now it’s the poorest households faring worst.

Starting with the 1980s.
In the 2000s both the rich and the poor fared better, but the middle was squeezed.

Then came the financial crisis.

“Since 2016, nearly 5,500 patients have died in England alone as a direct result of having waited too long to be admitted to hospital. ...That’s nearly twice the number of people killed in terror attacks in the UK since 1970. We should be outraged.”

(You are too sacred) “of us asking you tough questions – and start listening to our medical experts instead. We don’t need more privatisation from American companies. We don’t need more expensive consultants and middle management getting involved.”
It isn’t as if Johnson has been absent from Government until now.

If he could be bothered to really listen he would already know.

My uncle just tested positive for the coronavirus. He lives in Venice, CA.

I’ve not been in direct contact with him, so we are not at risk from him, but I want to relay how the health department has managed his case. #COVID
He was skiing in the Italian alps with 6 other guys. 4 of them, including my uncle, now have the coronavirus. One is in a coma. two are sick, and my uncle has not presented any symptoms as of yet. He self-quarantined and called the health department. #COVID
A few days later they tested him and yesterday he found out he’s positive. Meanwhile, they’ve told my aunt to wear a mask, stay 10 feet away from my uncle, and otherwise she is free to move about the community. And, she has — to grocery stores, the hair salon, etc. #COVID

I will start today's thread on #COVID in Iran, following up from yesterday's #irancorona
DISCLAIMER:

The GOOD
- Government in a complete reversal taken #COVID seriously
- As per contacts, many stay indoors if they can

The BAD:
- Explosion of cases in new cities
- Tehran seems to be next
- Extreme shortage of basic hygiene supplies
- Street collapses continue

It's hard to convey the stakes and satisfaction of the Bernie-Bloomberg matchup for people who were involved in @OccupyWallStNYC. The more I keep seeing old #Occupy friends campaigning, the more I want to start a [thread].
@OccupyWallStNYC For what it's worth, I once wrote a book about Occupy, and it's at lots of libraries if you want to get caught up on what happened now (phew) almost a decade ago: nathanschneider.info/books/thank-yo…
@OccupyWallStNYC And as the title suggests (Thank You, Anarchy), there is no clean line between Occupy and electoral politics. Some leading activists then continue to eschew electoral politics as fake politics. They are not not-right. But by far more have entered the fray.

Think someone is lying to you?

First check to see if they bothered to add any variability whatsoever in the model they are using to supposedly report actual numbers from a complex system.

#coronavirus
The mortality rate they want you to report is the - 0 day rate: Today's Confirmed Death total minus Today's Confirmed Case total.

This has not varied outside of 1/10th of 1% in the last 5 prints.

#coronavirus
But even a minor adjustment of a few days in the mortality rate paints an entirely different picture
