Unpersuasive analysis extending a linear trend from the earlier data and claiming lower cases are due to ban.That would make sense if ban is the only variation between then and now but a million other things have changed. Without even a barebones model,this is meaningless. #India https://twitter.com/ShamikaRavi/status/1247729397274046465

Anyone with a pencil and ruler can extrapolate a linear trend. But to make a STRONG causal claim as here requires justification when many other things have changed besides the ban: more testing, wearing masks,etc. This is comparison. Meaningless. https://twitter.com/ShamikaRavi/status/1247729397274046465?s=20
