And there are so so many differing opinions, "study results," and predictions happening from all of them.  Leaders in their field - especially when that field is research, are often wrong.  Whicgh is why we do research in the first place. 

But that doesn’t mean they should be discounted.

I take this situation seriously.  But I do not take that obviously flawed estimate seriously.

Part of taking things seriously is to be serious about how statistics are used.

So the people who know the most about the subject aren’t using statistics correctly? Seriously?

Oh, please.

Stopped reading the Atlantic piece after that moron tried to make a case for US tracking only 8 days behind Italy based solely on case count - as if both nations have the same number of people in the same amount of space, with the same cultural and hygenic behaviors, the same infrastructure, and the same timing and degree of response.

Ummmm. You just used his premise as your response.

They know about virus' and use statistics incorrectly to "prove" their point of view.  Seriously!

What are your qualifications?

Literacy.  Reason.  Critical thought. 

(There is more in my post-secondary education and experience, but none of that was required for this issue.  And besides, this is a discussion group, not an exercise in pulling rank on each other.  Opinions are welcome, and they can stand on their own merits.) 

Do you have an opinion of your own on this?
