The number of right-wingers telling their own voters to go die for the economy is just honestly astonishing
Left-wingers: OK Boomer

Right-wingers: OK Boomer, saddle up, it's time to die for the Dow
Boomers, your parents' generation sacrificed half a million lives to defeat fascism.

Now we're asking you to sacrifice half a million lives to...

*checks notes*

...preserve the passive income streams of Boomers richer than yourselves

Hey Boomers, the right-wingers promise to take back everything bad they said about your generation being a bunch of selfish hippies, if you sacrifice your lives to a plague in order to save the stock portfolios of richer Boomers

We need #TestAndTrace 🐇
@Noahpinion
Of the confirmed cases (now 85.6k in the U.S.), how many are likely to die?

Perhaps 1.8% to 3.4% if ICUs aren't overwhelmed. But perhaps 4.9% to 11.2% if ICUs become unavailable.

And unless you're a teenager or younger, this thing can easily kill you.

cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/6…
So of the ~82,500 U.S. confirmed cases still active right now, perhaps 1500 to 9200 peoole can be expected to die, depending on how much hospital capacity we have.

worldometers.info/coronavirus/co…
And that's just of the cases today. Over the past week it multiplied by 6. And it sure doesn't look like it's slowing down.

We need #TestAndTrace 🐇
@Noahpinion
Well, folks, some good news. Official U.S. daily coronavirus testing just hit 146k a day. Unfortunately, 45k of those are basically fake - the result of a one-time increase in reporting of pending tests. But that still means we're doing over 100k a day!!

docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…
Even excluding the "fake" bump from pending test reporting, we're now at around South Korean levels of daily testing.

Now, we have a huge backlog of cases to find, and our outbreak is much larger than Korea's, so we won't start being able to do #TestAndTrace just yet...
But, if we can SUSTAIN this high rate of testing -- and that's a big if! -- then we can do #TestAndTrace in a few weeks after lockdowns have reduced the caseload and shrunk social circles.

We need #TestAndTrace 🐇
@Noahpinion
A modest increase in testing today.

We're up to ~57% of Korean levels, and the growth rate has slowed down. Unclear if we'll actually catch Korea, given shortages of equipment and supplies.

Still, a lot better than the travesty of two weeks ago.

docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…
Remember, to do #TestAndTrace, we'll need to SUSTAIN testing at very high levels for months and months.

To do that, we need a continuous, neverending supply chain for masks, reagents, extraction kits, swabs, face shields, gowns, etc.

One bright spot in today's data: CA didn't report any tests. Since it's impossible that they did 0 tests, what this means is that they didn't report today, and we can expect a bump next time they do.

Former Senate staffer @chadderr here. Reminder as the president’s budget gets picked over today, that it’s *Congress* that decides govt funding thru a nearly year-long process that few ppl actually know about/understand. (And yes, the FY20 process is underway.) A thread. 1/
You know how there is always a huge showdown in December over funding the government? The legislation Congress fights over at that point didn't come out of nowhere. It is a package of appropriations bills that start getting written the previous spring (so, now). 2/
Normally, the House and Senate pass a resolution ("the budget resolution") that sets spending levels for the year, then members of the Appropriations Committees use those levels to write their bills. (There are 12 subcommittees that each write a bill for their parts of govt.) 3/
