A major source of information upon which government leaders have relied to urge or order the canceling of public events, shut down of businesses and sheltering in place has proved to be inaccurate.
The Federalist's Madeline Osburn points out many members of the media and state officials are relying on an online mapping tool called COVID Act Now.
The site, with a map of catastrophic forecasts for each state, boasts of enabling "political leaders to quickly make decisions in their Coronavirus response informed by best available data and modeling."
"But a closer look at how many of COVID Act Now's predictions have already fallen short, and how they became a ubiquitous resource across the country overnight, suggests something more sinister," Osburn wrote.

“It is still too early to know for sure, but it is at least possible we have been played.”
Umm, if Dems were involved in this article (or in anything else for that matter) you know you are being played.
I am so tired of the unending Corona Virus articles. Can we declare a on week Corona Virus Sabbatical? If we stopped talking about it we might figure out how overhyped it really is.
OK, hope it is not a hoax.
1.5% death rate?...at this point
well if you think I’m happy that my 6 figure loss in my 401K helped to stem the covid, you’d be wrong....
I am so tired of the unending Corona Virus articles. Can we declare a one week Corona Virus Sabbatical? If we stopped talking about it we might figure out how overhyped it really is.
How many cases have closed?
That’s the crux of the biscuit.
1. Measures were taken.
2. The world didn’t end.
Conclusion: We’ve been played because we did all this preparation and the world didn’t even end!
I’m unsure how a brain can carry around that much cognitive dissonance.
That’s the group influencing Many pols...CovidActNow...right? The one written about in the Federalist that questions their predictions.
I was just looking at their site. In their own words:
“This model is intended to help make fast decisions, not predict the future.”
Kind of conveniently sets you up to be beyond being considered
wrong doesn’t it.
That is actually a bad position to be in when it comes to
something like this.
“No the world didn’t end, thanks to US!”
LOL
Don’t know...also don’t know how many more cases will open...
1.CREATE the WEDGE
2.DRIVE / POUND the WEDGE via PROPAGANDISTS
3.MANAGE / MANIPULATE / STEER to the DESIRED OUTCOME
classic hegel
“Over the past 24 hours, the U.S. reported 14,024 new cases of coronavirus and 265 new deaths, raising the total to 68,347 cases and 1,037 dead”
Also saw that, reported via Fox website
The acceleration of infections and new deaths are continuing to increase in the U.S.
Regarding confirmed cases we are just behind Italy for third place. We should rise to the most infected country in the world in about a week.
Did POTUS and company take extraordinary measures or not? I take credit for nothing except being an early warning system when FluBros were everywhere. I’m grateful to the President for his tireless actions. I’ve not seen such leadership since Reagan.
Pro tip: If it doesn’t exist outside your head, it’s called an hallucination.
We renditioned some folks. Pass me that champaign esteemed colleague. (elbow bump with smile)
535+++++ vs. 330 MILLION
