Even though the data is more representative of the conditions now, we forget that the chaos of this crisis is still baked into those early numbers. We can& #39;t directly compare these two situations, we& #39;re still in uncharted territory. /2
And is important to note this because we still don& #39;t know what will happen. This isn& #39;t a time to panic of shift blame around so much as it is a time to learn how to deal with these surges. /3
I looked at the news that case surges were happening more among the young and, even though that data isn& #39;t nationally available, I found it as a clear pattern everywhere I looked (FL, GA, AZ, TX, OKC, MN, and LA County) /4
I& #39;ve been thinking a lot about the future of journalism and trust and how COVID has so drastically changed how I look at published information and I found this really comprehensive essay on exactly that from @liora_ /5 https://liora.substack.com/p/how-citizen-journalism-and-education">https://liora.substack.com/p/how-cit...
Lastly, I looked at a childhood favorite, Goofy& #39;s Glider. This was the first of the Goofy instructional series of short which hold their own special charm (even if they were born our of a labor dispute with Goofy& #39;s original voice actor) /6
