@asymmetricinfo @JamesSurowiecki @chrislhayes @SeanTrende @bwreed @guypbenson @RameshPonnuru I think that intuition is right, though it depends on how we're specifying the question. Interventions (masks, social distancing) can/should dampen differences in R that result from density and environmental factors, as should whatever reduction in susceptibility. — PolitiTweet.org

Tuesdays are often quite bad as weekend reporting backlogs are cleared. But the past two Tuesdays have shown some improvement (1,430 and 1,543) after several Tuesdays in a row with 2,000+ deaths. We'll see what tomorrow and Thursday (also days that can produce bad numbers) bring. — PolitiTweet.org
