    The MAGA day warrior
    The mean with the stride
    To be Don's lawyer
    Means, means, means, means he lied
    And though his hotel is not for rent
    Can put him down as arrogant
    Wine reserve, a loud defense
    Riding out the day's events
    On Twitter

    What you say about his company
    Is what you say about society
    Catch the mist, catch the myth
    Cast the mystery, catch the grift

    Man, this is some shoddy journalism by the Times.

    From the Post:

    The creator of the model said the numbers are unfinished projections shown to the CDC as a work in progress. The work contained a wide range of possibilities and modeling was not complete, according to Justin Lessler, an associate professor of epidemiology at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, who created the model.

    Yeah, that one set off my ignore button for a while. My sister is a contrarian and I love her but I can only stand it for a while.

    also from the Post:

    Lessler insisted, however, the numbers show how moving to reopen the country could spiral out of control. He said 100,000 cases per day by the end of the month is within the realm of possibility. Much depends on political decisions being made today.

    “There are reopening scenarios where it could get out of control very quickly,” Lessler said.

    There are I’m sure. But the Times story didn’t really provide any of that context.

    That was going around yesterday. It is one section that does not include confirmed cases. I went back and forth on twitter with someone so I looked around and found an article talking about the fact that the story was being spread around and people had to read the whole article to see the correct number.
    I, for the first time, received a "my bad" from someone. It was a happy moment.
