I think @natesilver538 is half-right. The lockdown love on lefty Twitter is stronger than ever; but out in the real world states with 100+ million people have just gone through a big rise in positive tests with no lockdowns, and that spike is now done. https://twitter.com/natesilver538/status/1291391265041416192

But the reason Part 2 is so crucial - and I am literally talking my book here - is that we can’t let the media-fed lie that “lockdowns worked” take hold. They were an abject failure.

And one reason the lockdown lobby is so desperate to get them going again is that as the Sunbelt comes out of this mini-spike without lockdowns and WITH far fewer deaths and economic dislocation than NY, the cost will be impossible to hide.

This is the Pickett’s Charge for Team Apocalypse. Or so I hope.
