Once again: DO NOT TRACK THE NUMBER OF CASES. THIS IS SUPPOSED TO INCREASE AS TESTING COMES ONLINE. Instead, track the number of deaths per day. If the "doubling time" of these slows to more than 3 days, we're starting to bend the curve. thread: xitter.cf/SamWangPhD/status/1241…
Bookmark this. When the doubling time of deaths* gets above 3 days, we will have begun to get past the runaway period of the pandemic. Note the current doubling times for China (35 days) & South Korea (12 days). *not cases, which can be underdiagnosed ourworldindata.org/coronavir…

We're have no way of measuring the number of cases. This is a chart showing the number of **detected** cases. Is a rapid increase in detected cases a good thing or bad thing? That's not at all clear.
No other country has been this far into the pandemic and still had the number of cases growing at the rates the U.S. is seeing. (ft.com/content/a26fbf7e-48f8…)

AMAZING GRACE: A moving scene tonight on an El Paso baseball field where what appeared to be thousands of people gathered for a vigil.

If you follow Me, could you please retweet this? I'm trying to call Twitter's attention to My broken follower count without resorting to striking their headquarters with lightning. Which I still may do anyway.

The “Trump effect” — watching the shift in the composition of the Republican Party by education. This is MERGED data by year, so, even two points is a trend, so this is huge movement.

They were stunned to see a national news outlet in their tiny town. Needless to say, we need to do more of this. The bubble of DC is so distracting from what they call "the real world."

In rural Georgia covering their governor's race. The people of Dooly County are unbelievably kind. A stranger learned I was visiting, bought my lunch and invited me to sit with her and her husband for an hour and talk about their lives, their county and their candidates.
