There hasn't been. People are: 1) mixing and matching two non-comparable data sources. https://t.co/l3mHb6o2c4 2) not accounting for the fact that deaths can be classified as pneumonia *and* COVID-19. https://t.co/EFBMaB1oJP — PolitiTweet.org

@mattyglesias @foxjust I just think people need to self-monitor a lot better in the category of "quick-and-dirty interpretations of the data that doesn't match the consensus of the evidence but DOES match my priors". Like, those interpretations are going to be wrong some hugely high % of the time. — PolitiTweet.org
