The above is a good point being made in different ways around the web.

If country A counts people who enter hospital, and country B does more testing of mildly ill people, different counts will result.

Similarly if A counts a death as C19 if C19 is present regardless of cause of death, and B counts it only if C19 was the proximal cause, then it’s hard to compare.

Countries and states are all doing such different things that solid data is almost impossible to have, and yet nobody wants to make a swag guess either. The only thing to do is what we have been doing — trending towards pessimism in the estimate, and adjusting as the data improves (either with quality or quantity or both).

The one question that I can't get out of my mind:

Why is President Trump getting caught up in the hysteria?

I realize that he is surrounded by people constantly crying doom and gloom and I realize the political problems with the press and the likes of Pelosi.

Trump is brilliant...a genius.

When will he take his “Churchill” stand?
