Don't understand. If we do bend curve, do testing, try to control hotspots and get trend down to where we can carefully, fitfully reopen, how does it help to have more people coming into the country with the virus to start new nodes/hotspots? https://t.co/T6NHhj7biV

"Mr. Trump, whose administration has faced intense criticism in recent months for his handling of the coronavirus crisis, abruptly sought to change the subject …" On immigration, NYT editors insist on not 1 but 2 unsupported, amateurish advocacy grafs! https://t.co/kl7jf22nAW

“You would have hoped for 45% or even 60% positive,” says Mark Perkins, a diagnostics expert at the World Health Organization. "… It now looks like, sadly, that’s not true. Even the high numbers are relatively small.” https://t.co/TYE1mypa0U

This would be a bad move if it turns out that (as some have speculated–remains to be seen) chloro only works if it has been given early–before you get to hospital, no? https://t.co/Lln32ktJZ9

One caveat: When Trump finally got around to imposing tariffs, the trade deal (Phase One) he got out of it seems to be pretty good, according to @AlanTonelson https://t.co/zpZpHGXP8X https://t.co/Xqfi1G9jbD

SPECIALIZATION! India has "monopolized the H-1B visa program" ot tech guestworkers. China "has monopolized the EB-5 visa program that primarily delivers green cards to wealthy Chinese investors and their families." https://t.co/RSjSSdDI38

Not so horrifying. There aren't nearly enough political appointees in government to assure the bureaucracy does what the voters voted for. "Merit" bureaucrats often have their own agenda. Charles Peters' 50/50 plan seems the best compromise–50% "merit" 50% patronage. https://t.co/j97fYjRFpW

SWEDEN not out of woods: Deaths jump to 170 on April 21 (maybe making up for weekend reporting effect?). Not exponential, but deaths per capita more than twice closest Nordic country, Denmark. Almost 5X Norway. Per >> https://t.co/wkEh69HVQH

These Trump positions are not contradictory at all, but for reflexive NYT snark. Rebuilding economy may be slow going–certainly won't be instantaneous. We want the jobs to go to Americans and people who are legally already living here. Doesn't seem that complicated. https://t.co/SW4xIlCE8O
