Raises an interesting issue that I'm unqualified to comment on: Is the difference between East Coast (hard hit) and West Coast (less hard hit) that they were infected by different strains of the virus? https://t.co/DHgabQOkmu

Is the virus mutating? Early reports said "'no,' but there are newer reports. @DerekLowe has a technical but still understandable report https://t.co/s2VX2r3twW

No they're not.

Finland–31 deaths per millionYou had me at "obtuse fraud" …https://t.co/Bw73i5AJ7a https://t.co/fOy4mA4ZXx

No, since an essential part of the Swedish approach is that they will protect the elderly. Turns out that's very hard to do when the virus is prevalent outside. A fundamental flaw in their approach. If the Swedes can't do it, why do we think we can? https://t.co/z7OUk9LYiI https://t.co/b0FPkxNc85

SCIENCE: L.A.'s Santa Ana winds–"crazy weather," etc.–always make me feel awful. Have wondered if that's a natural effect or because it blows all the pollution from inland to West LA. Now there is no pollution. But there is a Santa Ana. And I feel fine. It's the pollution. QED

Yes, that must be it. The 13% is the antibody test — ie 'have you ever had it.' https://t.co/rculvBukv6 The 10% benchmark is people who are infected now. Thanks. https://t.co/1yOXjgM0Df

Possibly stupid question: How is a state going to get under the 10% positive benchmark if in fact 13% of its population is positive? Must be something I don't understand about this https://t.co/lMAjjMp3Rz

Obvious point the Sweden crowd minimizes: The more we push the pandemic curve into the future, the greater the chance that one of these therapies will come through (before the 18 months or so for a vaccine). https://t.co/tp6E2pwCDp

"[B]ecoming more evident in Red America than a few weeks ago" is a pretty weak claim, since it wasn't that evident in Red America a few weeks ago. Also the trend reversed in recent week–"due largely to the inclusion of the three populous California counties." https://t.co/4VTLs53Alf

Don't think say "Dems are worse" will cut it. He's the president. Should have been riding herd on the incredible bureaucratic testing delay. Could have gotten to the "Slow the Spread" guidelines weeks earlier than March 16, even if country wasn't ready in mid Jan. https://t.co/ZbscdpPDpl

The only problem is the White House was too slow in responding to the coronavirus outbreak.
