My thoughts? My thoughts are that this article is a crock of hot steaming shit, and the editors who chose to publish it will live with a stain on their souls for the rest of their lives.
The core "analysis" of this article is to extrapolate from the CV-19 infection rates of Western expat evacuees to ALL of Wuhan, then reject the official Chinese case numbers but accept the official Chinese death numbers.

It's just idiotic.

I can't believe I have to keep reposting this note.

I can't believe that supposedly serious people still take the Chinese CV-19 data at face value.

At this point I can't believe it's incompetence. It's just corrupt.

The US death rate from CV-19 is doubling every 2.5 - 3 days.

That's faster than Spain. That's faster than Italy.
Death rate, as I'm using the term here, is deaths per day.

If that's not immediately obvious to you ... if you feel compelled to conflate this with mortality rate or CFR or deaths per capita or some other nonsense ... then please stop following me.
50% increase in daily US deaths since yesterday.

We will top 400 dead ... today.

I got dragged by the usual know-nothing crew for saying we could hit 1,000 daily deaths by Trump's Easter triumph. Hell, we could top 1,000 daily deaths by April 1.

Two weeks of CV-19 in Dallas. 169 cases.

37% under 40 yo.
36% hospitalized.
13% go to ICU.
6% go on ventilator.
3% die.
Screenshot of the Collins County (North Dallas) court order creating a state of emergency.

All businesses, jobs and workers in the county - ALL OF THEM - are officially deemed “essential”, so that there are zero protections - ZERO - for workers who want to stay home.

JFC.
Of course, my favorite part of this obscene Collin County court order creating a state of "emergency" in North Dallas is the oddly specific prohibition on frequenting massage parlors.

Case, case, case ... cluster, cluster, cluster ... then BOOM. That's what an exponential function looks like.

Today's hotspots are NY/NJ and WA.
Tomorrow's hotspots are Louisiana, MA and IL.
This weekend's hotspots are TX, FL, GA and PA.

We're all going to be hotspots.
Well done. @CharlesFLehman

We get through this crisis by relaxing economic restrictions AFTER a region has experienced hotspot status, not before.

And that relaxation of economic restrictions MUST by accompanied by constant and ubiquitous testing.

This is the formula that saves lives & saves the economy.

Publish where, how, what you want to publish, when you want to publish, not where everyone else is publishing just because those places may have an air of prestige, desirability. Publish where the people you care most about will access to work, without others' imposed boundaries.
#Publish in many different kinds of places, with different scales. Be a human body that reaches out to the exact people -- your core -- you wish most to #read and be moved by your work.
I have this suspicion that your "core" readership is not "The Academy," but the folks, the gente, the familia/pamilya, mga kapwa-tao, mga kapuso.

How do you best reach them but to go where they are and where they gather, to bring your presence and your work there.

Reckoning with Jeffrey Epstein, @megangarber writes, also demands reckoning with the pop culture that surrounded him: theatlantic.com/entertainment/… "One more shameful truth Jeffrey "#Epstein symbolized: a culture that continues to write girls out of its stories" #OpDeathEaters
@megangarber “women who went to Jeffrey Epstein’s mansion as girls tend to divide their lives into two parts: life before Jeffrey & life after Jeffrey,” Brown noted.

“He ruined my life and a lot of girls’ lives,” said Michelle Licata, another of #Epstein’s alleged victims." #OpDeathEaters
@megangarber "There is no such thing as an “underage woman.” Underage women are girls. But the mistake, repeated several times since July, has been in its own way revealing." In our culture, even the word "girls" doesn't convey the truth that these are CHILDREN #OpDeathEaters

#Epstein's suicide "unfathomable" washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/… #OpDeathEaters He was just taken off suicide watch - but was left in the SHU? Why? And how did he get hold of cord/belt/other suicide implement?
"We have to live with the scars of his actions for the rest of our lives, while he will never face the consequences of the crimes he committed the pain and trauma he caused so many people," she said. "#Epstein is gone, but justice must still be served." abc11.com/alleged-victim…
Was #Epstein on medication if he was suicidal? Anti-anxiety may have prevented his suicide. bop.gov/policy/progsta… #OpDeathEaters

Next Wednesday @CityofVancouver staff report back to #Council on ramping up our #ClimateAction, in line with the #IPCC science and in response to the #ClimateEmergency. Here’s my breakdown of the recommendations 👇
This #ClimateEmergency report outlines 6 Big Moves for Council to direct staff to pursue & come back w. comprehensive/costed plans. Plus 53 Accelerated Actions to move on now. The targets are strong & won’t be easy. This is what governing in line with the science looks like.
Big Move 1: By 2030, 90% of people will live within an easy walk/roll of their daily needs (we’re at 45%). Focused on land-use & complete n'hoods, it would ⬇️ 153,000 tonnes carbon/year, while creating ⬆️ housing choices, ⬆️ social interaction, and supporting local businesses.
