re: #64 No Malarkey!

It’s time to mute Nate Silver.

He’s a sports data guy, who doesn’t get much outside of his wheelhouse.

The reality is that what he thinks is substantial new burdens is masking, eating outdoors, and limiting ways covid can spread.

The reality is that Duke is an island surrounded by people who aren’t vaccinating and aren’t taking steps to prevent spread of covid. Duke has to protect its own, and the best way to do it is with minimal steps, like masks, outdoor eating, and insisting on vaccinations.

The problem remains that the GOPers around the nation are undermining the public health response at every turn, and if we listened to those experts we would not be in the mess we’re in.
