@FirstClassDuck @mattyglesias @asymmetricinfo 1. It appears that the French reduced subway usage very quickly to almost zero. Here they are after opening up...

@FirstClassDuck @mattyglesias @asymmetricinfo 2. The French lockdown was very harsh. Subway use almost came to a standstill in March.

Starting in March, French citizens were restricted to their houses and only allowed outside with a completed permission slip.

@FirstClassDuck @mattyglesias @asymmetricinfo In early March...NYC and state leaders were still proclaiming the subway was safe...and weren't recommending masks.

@FirstClassDuck @mattyglesias @asymmetricinfo While the French were getting ready to lockdown, the NYC mayor...was doing this.

@FirstClassDuck @mattyglesias @asymmetricinfo And then...he lied about it.

So, it appears a lot of people simply want to forget the sequence of events on COVID/Coronavirus.

Its highly inconvenient to admit who really prevented the world from reacting properly to this scourge.
The first cases of COVID19 now appear to have been showing up in Hubei Province in LATE NOVEMBER 2019.

The Chinese at that point didn't realize what they had on their hands. But even then they suspected a new SARS like outbreak.

December 6

China reported the first case with documented date of symptoms.

So since I am already getting heat...Let me stipulate that even before today, I 100% believed Trump downplayed COVID.

That isn't a secret. He did so publicly at his press conferences.

Problem is the 'Oh, I knew it was dangerous, airborne'.

I think he's talking out of his ass.
Why do I think that?

Because every infectious disease expert we know, those that worked in the Obama administration as well, all said otherwise.

Redfield. Fauci. Birx. And even former CDC heads.

Not one said it was airborne in February.
Furthermore, these experts were giving real time info to Governors and mayors as early as mid-Feb. We know for a fact Fauci talked to Cuomo and DeBlasio around the middle of that month.

Unless you think Fauci was lying, whatever info the White House had, Cuomo and DeBlasio had.

BLM riots probably cost multiples of that.

But hey...narrative and all that.
Look, many cities did NO tracking and tracing after early BLM protests. Some went as far as to tell their operators to not even ask about protesting! (NYC, for example).

But we saw spikes in several cities, for sure. Birmingham, for one...

LA, Seattle and Miami saw at least some data to support that the virus accelerated in the time range after the protests.
