A lot of this news coverage winds up *punishing* states for doing more testing, because if you do more testing, you find more cases and therefore get worse headlines. So it's not just bad reporting; it creates poor incentives since we need more tests. https://t.co/VK7rCgBNMc — PolitiTweet.org

Adjusting for testing volume, you likely get a slight overall decline outside of NYC. That's not great, because (i) it's only a slight decline; (ii) some areas *are* likely increasing; (iii) social distancing is relaxing. Still, that's a much more complete and accurate story. — PolitiTweet.org

@maggiekb1 That article was like triply irresponsible. Described the findings, some of which are fairly banal, in the scariest possible terms. Didn't talk to many people outside the project. Didn't emphasize the degree to which it was a preprint, contextualize with other research, etc. — PolitiTweet.org
