Had to pick something up at the local mall today. Was surprised to find so many people without masks. I’m guessing people don’t pay attention to the news? Don’t they know Covid is running rampant? I mean, even if you don’t think it’s serious (it is) why would you want to get it?

Given who owns Tesla, I will never buy one
I’ve recently tested a bunch of new #EV models. Increasingly of the view Tesla could become the Blackberry of cars.

In brief, humans stupider than anticipated
~40% more people in hospital with Covid than last Saturday. Science Table's moderate increase scenario had us peaking at ~900 hospitalizations around May 1. We are at 1188 on April 9. As Peter Juni has noted, behaviour has changed more than assumptions in moderate scenario.
