@gummibear737 @EthicalSkeptic @Covid19Crusher @Hold2LLC @federicolois there is a group of math, modeling, statistics and data analyst experts that are tracking this epidemic. We devote significant effort to rationalizing the discussion by politicians, press and professionals.
1/

We have widely varying medical backgrounds but always test their unhinged reactions, look at them simply, our comments fall into a number of categories:
1) calling out modeling errors,
2) calling out statistical errors,
3) finding patterns that do not agree with them, and

2/

4) offer experience based advice informed by what we see in other work.
We also, dig much deeper into mechanisms of action and the logic of their conclusions. These cause the strongest reactions. But always remember, the math is the math, and the data is the data.
3/

We will not let them get away with bad statistics, bad math, bad logic bad conclusions and bad science. Do not be fooled by the blustering PhDs yelling about inconvenient facts. Look at the math and data.

Most of us are doing this work on our own time, at our own cost. Ask yourself how those actually being paid can be so sloppy and casual in their efforts during a time when they are cavalierly destroying people’s lives and people are dying due to decisions they are making.
