Hey y'all. I have a deep dive today on how the number of *known coronavirus cases* isn't really a good way to know what's happening with the disease. Unless you know something about testing, anyway. Hope you'll check it out. https://t.co/VK7rCgBNMc — PolitiTweet.org

Note since I've seen some folks get this wrong: When Cuomo talks about the number of hospitalizations, he is talking about the *net* number (hospitalized less discharges) and not the gross number (total ever hospitalized). The number currently hospitalized is still increasing. https://t.co/EIsBe2kX2v — PolitiTweet.org

People keep treating disparities in testing and other reporting problems as though they're rounding errors. They are...anything but. They can completely swamp the actual signal from case #'s. Unless you make an effort to account for them, you run a high risk of misleading people. https://t.co/jeknpXIOdm — PolitiTweet.org
