COVID Act Now, bad data and a lot of lost jobsA Joe Biden advisor is part of the working group for COVID Act Now, a group encouraging draconian shelter in place orders nationwideby Stacey Lennox March 26, 2020 The Left tells us we need to believe the scientists. You would think with a pandemic afoot, their reliance on science would be especially strict. However, it seems they have been more than selective in who they choose to listen to and it might be more political than you think.
In the last twenty-four hours a few things happened that did not hang together in any sensical way.
Dr. Deborah Birx talked about the data in some apocalyptic studies being widely shared that have likely significantly over estimated the impacts of coronavirus.

The mayor of my small town in Georgia extended shelter in place until the end of April.
Mayor Eric Garcetti of Los Angeles set a deadline similar to the one in my small town.
More Scientists Weigh InNow, it seems that in light of a downgraded significance, mayors of two very different cities on two different coasts would not be making this announcement on the same day. This is especially strange when two professors of medicine and one Nobel Laureate from Stanford have similarly questioned the modeling currently being used.
