I interpret your tweet/comment as claiming subject literacy and wanting serious engagement. Instantly block bots, trolls, deliberately thick, false info spreaders, parades of fallacies, tribal bumper-sticker comments, & 4th-grader-level nonsense.

In a world run by the Epstein class, you will only be informed of the things you bother to actually learn about - and from peer-reviewed science, not conspiracy click-holes (which are sponsored by the same Epstein class).

You've probably seen the news that the @CDCgov is understaffed and also in the midst of contractor issues. We're watching closely for any CDC data errors. There are a few. The errors are not nefarious, and I wanted you to know we're tracking them closely so you continue to have confidence in our interpretation of the underlying data. This week, we spotted what appear to be four major data entry errors in the CDC data. One is for the Big Island of Hawai'i and the other 3 are in Kentucky. The wastewater value (WVAL) is a relatively arbitrary scale, but usually it peaks around 15 for a large wave, and 30 for a surge. You could definitely see something higher (perhaps 100-200) if there were a weather-related aberration or some other obscure reason; the issue would be exacerbated if only a small population covered. However, these are ridiculously large values. There's probably a mistake in someone's code or a manual data entry error. Maybe someone's dog jumped on the keyboard. Each site measures wastewater on arbitrary scales, using arbitrary metrics, and the CDC basically has to translate them all into a unified language. It could be an issue at the reporting site or the CDC (the CDC should catch this, regardless). Also, when sites are transitioning contractors or methodologies, they track data both ways for a time period to calibrate, and then flip to the new contractor or system. It's possible something is being labeled as one contractor or methodology but should have been the other. Imagine if one company tracked levels per mL and another tracked per L, for example. It would make the levels appear 1000x higher if unrecognized. Hopefully the issues get fixed soon. On the Big Island, I don't think it's a big deal, as it's a mistake of claiming Very High is actually some higher version of Very High, and levels have been quite elevated across the state for some time. In Kentucky, there's a reasonable chance that parts of northern Kentucky are actually having a little lower transmission than they appear, but it's uncertain. We've capped the WVAL at a max of 60 for the time being and added a >60 warning for counties where that is an issue. This seemed a better solutional than just hiding the data from people. We'll consider these sorts of issues if/when they pop up again, but this seems to be an atypical and hopefully one-off problem. By the way, not everything at the CDC is #Bluewashing. Sometimes errors are just errors, and sometimes those errors are in the high direction. We will always try to catch any issue. More and more citizens are doing great work with wastewater data, so it's helpful to note these issues so everyone knows to keep an eye out for them.

The despicables will continue to be despicable for as long as they're still allowed amongst decent people. #BanishTheTrash.

Of course.

"Normal" is not a word. It is relative, a private hallucination that lives only in the mind of the person saying it. Everyone carries a different version and calls it the world. A 30 year old drops in the grocery aisle and they call it "normal." Others see the slow collapse they will never connect. A heart suddenly stops and they call it "normal," then blame age, diet, or a life they invent after the fact. Others know it was never a lifestyle story. It was Covid. A child laughs on Tuesday, is gone by Friday, and they call it "normal." "These things happen," they say. "It is what it is" finishes it. Others see another death that will be filed under anything but Covid. "Mild" is the same spell. What was "mild" for them was ruin for others, in the same reality. There never was a "normal." Covid never ended, and “normal” never began. We cannot live with each other on Covid for that reason.
A solution will never come. We live in the space between these 2 realities, divided for all time.

Imagine suddenly developing problems with simple arithmetic because you caught a virus that you were told was just a cold.

Reminder, waves are not "getting smaller." If you glance at long-term trends, that may seem the case, but the past few years, waves are actually just getting more platykurtic (wider, less pointy). Transmission is only relatively lower since December. Details below.

Covid trolls will be pointing at a graph that shows Covid is killing people and say “see you’re wrong it’s not killing as many people as your worst projections said it was going to kill. See I was right not to protect my child” and still expect us to take them seriously.

If you’re making fun of people who are COVID-conscious while also complaining about the increase in people reporting symptoms like POTS, ME/CFS and other chronic symptoms, you are SO close to getting it. So close.

Someone is lying to you about COVID and you can either believe sick people or the government.

So, tell me, is the problem over yet, or still getting worse?
