1/Step right up ladies and gentlemen and folks of various other genders, it's time for:

Coronavirus Tweets From the Experts, 5/13/2020!!!

twitter.com/Noahpinion/lis…
2/Coronavirus has probably already killed more Americans than World War 1

(not counting civilian Spanish Flu deaths in the WW1 death toll)

3/Another public health expert explains why #TestAndTrace is so important.

4/Only 14 states have met the criteria for reopening. Many are reopening anyway. These shall be the Control Group.

5/Vaccine nationalism?

6/Remember, not all coronavirus tests are created equal! Some suck.

7/More on why "herd immunity" is a very bad strategy.

8/In his Covid Chronicles thread, Bob Wachter discusses masks.

9/Plenty of good data about masks in this thread.

10/Man has a point.

#TestAndTrace

11/The U.S. epidemic is declining a bit faster, but reopening could throw a wrench in that. We'll see!

12/A way that coronavirus can kill kids.

13/Yet more data shows that coronavirus' true death rate (IFR) is about 1%

14/MASKS WORK

15/Thing that nobody is actually proposing: Lockdown until vaccine

Thing that will probably happen: Reopening followed by re-lockdown when new waves happen, until vaccine

16/Oh nooooooooooooooooooooooo

17/Remember, it's not a choice between lives and the economy. Effective lockdowns in the short run help the economy in the long run.

18/The U.S. pandemic response has been uniquely bad among developed nations, though we may finally have turned a corner.

19/The coronavirus death rate looks a little lower in Indiana than elsewhere.

20/Once again, "going for herd immunity" is a terrible, terrible strategy.

21/Great to see Mike Bloomberg pushing contact tracing so hard. This is important, high-impact stuff.

22/A possible target for coronavirus treatments

23/What is coronavirus' real incubation period?

24/Yet another massive antibody study shows coronavirus death rate in the neighborhood of 1%.

25/And that's all for tonight, folks! More craaaaazy times tomorrow, with...Coronavirus Tweets From the Experts!

1/Today's @bopinion post is about the New Deal.

Some folks, like @benshapiro, claim that the New Deal prolonged the Depression. They are wrong.

bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…
2/Shapiro and other New Deal revisionists tend to base their arguments on the research of economists Harold Cole and Lee Ohanian.

But, as many other economists have pointed out, Cole and Ohanian's research is not right.

jstor.org/stable/10.1086…
3/Cole and Ohanian base their arguments on Real Business Cycle theory. But this theory has been generally debunked as a description of economic fluctuations.

@Noahpinion
The Cold Civil War is largely an asymmetric struggle. The Left launches moral/rhetorical attacks, while the Right retaliates with actual policy.
2/Immigration is an example. The Left (including me!) launched massive moral/rhetorical attacks in favor of the idea of immigration. Some even developed new moral arguments, such as "immigration as reparations for colonialism".

3/And it worked! The moral/rhetorical attacks resulted in a surge of pro-immigrant sentiment in the polls.
