The Good News: POTUS and his team truly are staying ahead of this thing!

• On 3/11... Prez announced suspending travel from Europe

• The Pundits Boo Hoo’d; much of Europe hadn’t done it yet

• WHO was against it - yada yada

The new rules went into effect on 3/13 at midnight...

I actually pulled data on 3/14; first day of travel restrictions.

This data is what’s called a ‘Lagging Indicator’ - the conditions showed in the data are indicative of past, not necessarily future.

(Copy of 3/14 data below)

At that time, I was remarking of the disparate death totals between NY & WA...

Both had similar total infections, but quite a bit more severity in WA, even if you remove the Nursing Home from the dataset, which was an anomaly of its own.
Anyway - while #FakeNews was boo hooing about travel restrictions, the data (aka lagging indicator) showed our West Coast ports of entry were in worse shape...

However, POTUS was saying that Europe was now ground central...
Well, they were right - look what happened to the data... (below pics are current).

NY leap frogged over WA in terms of total infections - they are both experiencing similar increases in deaths.

The lagging indicators agree with POTUS’ Team Assessment!
Due to hysteria, I feel the need to add some perspective: Yes, NY’s numbers made a pretty dynamic shift, but DYK... with 19.45 million residents, we are still talking about an EXTREMELY LOW rate of infection.

It’s est 1% of ppl are Psychopaths; 64 psychos per 1 COVID in NY State
That’s right - there are WAAAY more psycho’s than Chinese COVID-19 cases! And we live with them every single day...

So let’s just take a chill pill - POTUS & Team are staying ahead of this... and making the right moves.

🇺🇸
PS: That data can and will continue to shift... so it’s important that we qualify what it means & what it doesn’t.
Last, but not least - meme!
