Still should be a wake-up call that the candidate who led in polls for all of 2019 won the nomination and yet somehow it took many people on this platform totally by surprise. — PolitiTweet.org

Joe Biden has officially garnered the 1,991 delegates needed to secure the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination according to the AP

Without those changes, there would have been 860 deaths 23K cases 506K tests still a 5% positive test rate So it would still be a record testing day (first day over 500K), though not by as much. It would also have been 3 straight days with deaths below 1000, however. — PolitiTweet.org

@joshtpm Yeah, there have been a lot of states when things looked pretty bad for a couple of weeks and then abated a bit, as was the case in DC/MD/VA a few weeks ago, for instance. But I wonder if we'll be as fortunate in avoiding sustained increases post-lockdown. — PolitiTweet.org

That's part of why the national numbers have looked pretty good even though there are a lot of states to be worried about. The numbers tend to be either high but falling, or low but rising⁠—but not many places where they're high and rising. — PolitiTweet.org

One dynamic worth mentioning is that states where there's the most robust evidence of COVID-19 infections rising right now, such as Utah, Arizona and North Carolina, tend to be places where they didn't have particularly bad outbreaks to begin with. — PolitiTweet.org

It's interesting that so many countries wound up doing some version of the same thing (lock down for ~2-3 months and then reopen) somewhat without regard to either their political system or how good/bad their coronavirus situation has been. — PolitiTweet.org

One thing I'm unapologetically "both sides" about is that both sides engage in massive amounts of motivated reasoning and confirmation bias around statistical data. — PolitiTweet.org

I see it didn't take long to progress to the stage where (some) liberals are questioning the BLS jobs numbers. While one should always hold data up to scrutiny, especially if it shows big, unexpected changes, seems like there's also likely to be a lot of motivated reasoning here. — PolitiTweet.org

The numbers for the past couple of weeks have come in a pinch better (fewer deaths) than some of the models expected, which is good news, of course. But only slightly, and they've generally been well within each model's confidence interval. — PolitiTweet.org

It's actually quite well in line with expert projections from April, etc. The media tends to focus on outlier projections that are either too high or too low. (Not unlike polls!) But the consensus of projections has done a rather good job. https://t.co/c28TxaCJeC — PolitiTweet.org

The usual caveats apply, though. There's a LOT of state to state variation, with clearer declines in the Northeast and the Midwest than in the South and the West. And these numbers are backward looking. We don't yet know much about the impact of Memorial Day, protests, etc. — PolitiTweet.org

Folks, this is a pretty good report. Midweek days (Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays) typically feature high death counts. But we've now had two days in a row with deaths < 1,000. Also 3 out of 4 days with a positive test rate <5%. — PolitiTweet.org
