Louisiana has highest coronavirus mortality rate in the country. not even close
also, NY, NJ, CT are already quarebtined.

he’s so clueless
if Trump announces “quarentine” nobody will have any idea what it means, including the Govs. (is National Guard going to start arresting people?)

just more purposeful confusion from WH

Hi, this is @kevinpatterson. I’m a critical care doctor; I work in an ICU on Vancouver Island, and in the Arctic on the west coast of Hudson Bay. I’ve been thinking a lot about the history of pandemics lately, for all the obvious reasons—and also, about February 15. 1/11
Only six weeks ago, in the last days of January, Wuhan, China was seeing thousands of new cases a day. The hospitals were overwhelmed, and 14% of nurses became infected. It got pretty Dantean. 2/11
On January 23, China imposed draconian public health measures to try and halt the spread. At that point, there had been 517 #COVIDー19 cases in Wuhan, and 17 deaths—on both counts, fewer than America has right now. 3/11

Weekly recap of Trump Hotel DC news:

✅Pence, McConnell co-headlined fundraiser for KY SoS candidate
✅RNC has spent > $558K at hotel
✅Hotel came up in impeachment inquiry
✅Diamond and Silk plan pricey brunch for long-dormant nonprofit

via @1100Penn bit.ly/2NUkYPZ
@1100Penn And America First Action has spent more than $500,000 at @realDonaldTrump’s DC hotel, enabling the president to profit from donors to his campaign’s “ one approved outside non-campaign group.”

via @1100Penn 1100pennsylvania.substack.com/p/super-pac-sm…

@1100Penn @realDonaldTrump Paula White co-hosted an expensive fundraiser in March for the American Pro-Israel PAC at Mar-a-Lago.

But we don’t know how much @realDonaldTrump’s business was paid, as the PAC is months late filing an FEC report.

Hi, @FrankPallone

I was one of the alleged bots #NotABot defamed for that @JoeSmyser @DrArturoNJ @NicholsonForNJ @PublicGoodProj @WSJ report.

Shall I expect an invite to @EnergyCommerce offices to sign in, in person, to my account?

We can also discuss manipulation of #data.
@FrankPallone @JoeSmyser @DrArturoNJ @NicholsonForNJ @PublicGoodProj @WSJ @EnergyCommerce 👈#NotABot we can discuss allegations as to why I and other's data has been used to accuse innocent people of committing what I consider crimes @JoeSmyser @DrArturoNJ @NicholsonForNJ @PublicGoodProj @WSJ @EnergyCommerce like marketing to children.
@FrankPallone @JoeSmyser @DrArturoNJ @NicholsonForNJ @PublicGoodProj @WSJ @EnergyCommerce 👈#StillNotABot we can discuss how research fraud @JoeSmyser @DrArturoNJ @NicholsonForNJ @PublicGoodProj @WSJ @EnergyCommerce *may* have played a role in these hearings...

Six weeks ago, I invited the 9 candidates for AEA leadership positions to offer statements on pressing issues in the economics profession, including diversity/inclusion & the publication process.

Response rate, as of today: zero.

There is, of course, an economic explanation...
Economics teaches us that producers profit from imposing scarcity of their product, restricting output and imposing barriers to entry. They gain, would-be competitors and consumers lose.

This is what economists preach. It is also what they practice.
Fourcade, Ollion and Algan (2015) document the peculiar economic practice of restricting professional leadership to the top departments. Our leaders are nominated by a committee, themselves drawn predominantly from top departments. Our peer institutions behave very differently.

The Lesson of 2018 outline.com/uNaTSE
In a few days the U.S. will have its midterm results, and the Beltway press corps will lecture us on the lessons.
Don’t expect to hear much about the one takeaway that is already obvious: that today’s preferred progressive politics—of character assassination, mob rule, intimidation and wacky policies—is an electoral bust.
