Quick thread: Fun facts about Covid Act Now, the org that is mobilizing press, politicians, & citizens to rally behind mass quarantine/lockdown:
1) They were founded by Dem activists. 1 of them, Igor Kofman, works full time to defeat Trump in 2020. Another is a Dem legislator.

2) Their models, which in retrospect have proven inaccurate, promised total healthcare system catastrophe if states did not enact immediate draconian measures to supposedly stop the spread of the virus. They are both providing junk data & pushing *their solutions* to the issue.

3) Important to note that lockdown has no consensus in the scientific community. In fact, exhaustive studies, both in US institutions and globally, have shown that quarantine/lockdown has never worked to stave off pandemics. So why is this org pushing Econ & societal lockdown?

4) Their models come 100% from Imperial College UK projection that is coming under *heavy* scrutiny from scientific community. IC UK produced the famed doomsday scenario that guaranteed 2MM dead Americans. The man behind the projections is refusing to make his code public.

5) Do a Google News search for “Covid Act Now” and u will find an endless stream of publications, both local & national, referencing the projections on the website.

Let's stop to the spread of fear mongering outfits w/ bad data & questionable motives like CovidActNow
