How can our government response be "data-driven," as the Surgeon General claims, when the data is CRAP? Infections are wildly undercounted, deaths are wildly overcounted. It is worse than no data at all. We'd be better off just using common sense and guessing. — PolitiTweet.org

THE CONTRADICTION OF LOCKDOWNS: The premise is "lockdowns flatten the curve." But a flattened curve is a prolonged curve. Lockdowns are not economically sustainable, therefore your pandemic outlasts your lockdown. Then what? — PolitiTweet.org

And that's the great fallacy. At no time during this crisis have our hospitals been remotely close to being overwhelmed. The ONLY place they were overwhelmed was in models. — PolitiTweet.org

@mitchellvii True. But also the flatter curve ensures that hospitals aren’t overwhelmed at any one time. That’s the trade-off.
