Alert reader P.M. has some good suggestions: Mike DeWine, Mitt Romney. Trick is to find someone who won't win the argument too decisively (ie who can afford to pull punches if necessary). Romney would do it in an instant, no? Big publicity, finger to Trump, safe seat. https://t.co/cWdrDTHJEp

REPOSTING this with the correct link. Apologies for the screw-up. I do urge readers to look at the bloggingheads segment before making up their minds–it was a civil discussion which I thought helped air the issue. https://t.co/JMioNkFGWs

Just rediscovered this @NYTimes piece on how migrants are big part of pandemic-"victims" & "vectors" https://t.co/WoyVloNgdt Isn't this what @robertwrighter says maybe shouldn't be discussed now because it can look ugly & incite racism? You make call! https://t.co/0XXA61tgUL

Reading back through my timeline (trying to find something to write about) I notice mainstream experts worrying a few weeks ago that Florida & Texas were about to go the way of New York–i.e. soaring death tolls. This doesn't seem to have happened. https://t.co/XhYPhEqzbX

Actually, it would be smart for Biden to interview some civil, milldy pro-Trump figure or not Never Trump Republican, no? Show he can both reach out and answer criticism. Also get some attention. But who? Nominations accepted. Peggy Noonan? Norman Podhoretz? Joe Rogan? https://t.co/MoIaiAexbn

"High risk" seniors who make less than $74,940 can get 3 meals a day delivered by local restaurants and FEMA will pick up 75% of the tab? Up to $66 a day! Generous. Wonder how small the "high risk" category is .. https://t.co/rWf5exgkYf

That makes Sweden look even worse, of course: We're comparing the Swedish undercount with the US, which counts (per your account) every corona death it can — and Sweden's total is still significantly higher. https://t.co/a3DHHx7Law

Sweden corona deaths rise to 213 per million — and that's just the ones they've counted, presumably. (US is at 158.) https://t.co/Bw73i5AJ7a https://t.co/RziCUyBdL6

Apparently in Sweden if you die you are only counted as a corona death if they test you and you are positive. "And Sweden is not doing many tests." https://t.co/ENEOsfeFac https://t.co/N6QbwF2ie1

IF FAUCI DID THIS … Turns out tha Anders Tegnell of the Swedish Public Health authority has consistently understated the death toll and also given inaccurate assurances about the size of the uncounted backlog. [according to Google Translate, anyway] https://t.co/nodH4Or056

"[I]t turns out that the [Swedish] death toll in Covid -19 is significantly higher than the Public Health Authority had previously assumed. … a 50 percent increase." [Google translate]

"The SARS-CoV-2 is so good at transmitting itself between human hosts, said Andersen, it is under no evolutionary pressure to evolve."
It is now, if social distancing works, no? (E.g. strains that travel greater distances survive) https://t.co/rbEcjnU0jo
