Inaccurate Virus Models Are Panicking Officials Into Ill-Advised Lockdowns
How a handful of Democratic activists created alarming, but bogus data sets to scare local and state officials into making rash, economy-killing mandates.By Madeline Osburn
MARCH 25, 2020As U.S. state and local officials halt the economy and quarantine their communities over the Wuhan virus crisis, one would hope our leaders were making such major decisions based on well-sourced data and statistical analysis. That is not the case.
A scan of statements made by media, state governors, local leaders, county judges, and more show many relying on the same source, an online mapping tool called COVID Act Now. The website says it is “built to enable political leaders to quickly make decisions in their Coronavirus response informed by best available data and modeling.”
An interactive map provides users a catastrophic forecast for each state, should they wait to implement COVID Act Now’s suggested strict measures to “flatten the curve.” But a closer look at how many of COVID Act Now’s predictions have already fallen short, and how they became a ubiquitous resource across the country overnight, suggests something more sinister.
When Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins announced a shelter-in-place order on Dallas County Sunday, he displayed COVID Act Now graphs with predictive outcomes after three months if certain drastic measures are taken.

The Federalist
The article features a photo of Fire Marshal Gump referring to a COVID Act Now graph.
He does this every day while complaining that the State of Texas isn’t locking down the economy enough, while nearly losing a federally provided temporary hospital by failing to confirm that the county would use it.
Fire Marshal Gump has even managed to p!$$ off fellow liberal Democrat John Wiley Price.
The Federalist article goes on to tally up the accuracy of these models.
COVID Act Now predicted that by March 19 the state of Tennessee could expect 190 hospitalizations of patients with confirmed Wuhan virus. By March 19, they only had 15 patients hospitalized.
In New York, Covid Act Now claimed nearly 5,400 New Yorkers would’ve been hospitalized by March 19. The actual number of hospitalizations is around 750. The site also claimed nearly 13,000 New York hospitalizations by March 23. The actual number was around 2,500.
[…]
The Federalist
As of yesterday at 5:00 PM New York had 15,333 people hospitalized with ChiCom-19, and they think they are close to the peak. The COVID Act Now model has New York at nearly 39,000 hospitalizations by tomorrow…
The model has Texas at around 2,300 hospitalizations by April 8. As of yesterday, the number stood at 1,153.
COVID Act Now might as well be the IPCC…
In Georgia, COVID Act Now predicted 688 hospitalizations by March 23. By that date, they had around 800 confirmed cases in the whole state, and fewer than 300 hospitalized.
In Florida, Covid Act Now predicted that by March 19, the state would face 400 hospitalizations. On March 19, Gov. Ron DeSantis said 90 people in Florida had been hospitalized.
COVID Act Now’s models in other states, including Oklahoma and Virginia, were also far off in their predictions. Jordan Schachtel, a national security writer, said COVID Act Now’s modeling comes from one team based at Imperial College London that is not only highly scrutinized, but has a track record of bad predictions.
[…]
So why is the organization or seemingly innocent online mapping tool using inaccurate algorithms to scaremonger leaders into tanking the economy? Politics, of course.
Founders of the site include Democratic Rep. Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins and three Silicon Valley tech workers and Democratic activists — Zachary Rosen, Max Henderson, and Igor Kofman — who are all also donors to various Democratic campaigns and political organizations since 2016. Henderson and Kofman donated to the Hillary Clinton campaign in 2016, while Rosen donated to the Democratic National Committee, recently resigned Democratic Rep. Katie Hill, and other Democratic candidates. Prior to building the COVID Act Now website, Kofman created an online game designed to raise $1 million for the eventual 2020 Democratic candidate and defeat President Trump. The game’s website is now defunct.
Perhaps the goal of COVID Act Now was never to provide accurate information, but to scare citizens and government officials into to implementing rash and draconian measures. The creators even admit as much with the caveat that “this model is designed to drive fast action, not predict the future.”

Does this sound familiar? Juice up models for purpose of killing capitalism in the name of saving [fill in the blank] from [fill in the blank]. The COVID Act Now models are basically 2-3 times worse than reality and designed by left-wing Democrats to enable other left-wing Democrats to destroy our economy… Very GISS/IPCC’ish.

OPEC And Partners Eye A 3-Month Output Cut
By Tsvetana Paraskova – Apr 07, 2020Countries part of the OPEC+ group are discussing the idea to implement oil production cuts for at least three months from May to July, Russian news agency TASS reported on Tuesday, citing two sources at OPEC.
[…]
The leaders of the OPEC+ group, Saudi Arabia for OPEC and Russia for non-OPEC, are reportedly ready to negotiate a massive global production cut amid sinking demand, despite a bitter weekend spat between the former allies about who ditched whom in the OPEC+ talks.
A video meeting between Saudi Arabia, Russia, and other major oil producers, including representatives from the U.S., was slated to be held on Monday. However, the meeting was postponed for Thursday after the Saudis and the Russians accused each other of dumping the other in the OPEC+ alliance that had tried to manage oil supply and oil prices for the past three years.
Both producers are now signaling that they are ready to talk but are pointing out that any massive cut, 10 million bpd-15 million bpd, as touted by U.S. President Donald Trump, should involve the United States, too.
OPEC hasn’t asked President Trump to find a way to ask U.S. oil companies to collectively cut production, the President said on Monday.
“I think it’s happening automatically but nobody’s asked me that question yet so we’ll see what happens,” President Trump said at a press briefing, referring to U.S. oil production.

Yes, Mr. President, a few months of $20-30/bbl oil prices will cut U.S. oil production. Even ExxonMobil has slashed their capital budget…
ExxonMobil cuts 2020 capex budget by 30% as it works to combat low oil price, weaker demand
Published: April 7, 2020 at 7:18 a.m. ET
By Ciara LinnaneExxon Mobil Corp. XOM, 3.126% said Tuesday it is reducing its 2020 capex budget by 30% and lowering cash operating expenses by 30% as it works to combat the effect of lower commodity prices due to oversupply and demand weakness caused by the coronavirus pandemic. The oil giant said capital investments will fall to about $23 billion from a previously announced $33 billion. “Our objective is to continue investing in industry-advantaged projects to create value, preserve cash for the dividend and make appropriate and prudent use of our balance sheet,” Chief Executive Darren Woods said in a statement. The bulk of the capital spending reduction will take place in the Permian Basin in Texas, reducing the pace of drilling and well completions. Deepwater discoveries offshore Guyana will not be affected…

Hallelujah! 👍👍
One question I keep asking is “What are they testing for?”. Are they testing for the SARS-CoV-2 virus? Any corona virus (of which there are lots)?
Are all the tests the same? Does the USA, Europe, Asia all the other countries use the same test ?
The fellow who invented the PCR test says it isn’t suited to this. Yet that seems to be the dominant test in use. Is it valid?
TRM April 7, 2020 at 5:30 pm
One question I keep asking is “What are they testing for?”. Are they testing for the SARS-CoV-2 virus? Any corona virus (of which there are lots)?
SARS-CoV-2 but maybe they also test for the other flu of common flu- and one of four of common flu is SARS-CoV-1
But far as I know they testing for SARS-CoV-2 and it’s possible they testing for other flu viruses and/or other known and common “problems”
“Are all the tests the same? Does the USA, Europe, Asia all the other countries use the same test ?”
well, no, one say they evolving, one aspect is making different tests which get faster to results. And could say number of tests with different precise- there is bias towards not having a high error in terms of failing to detect SARS-CoV-2 but it seems one can have the Chinese virus and takes few days before it can be detected- at least with some of the tests. Or it takes about 4 to 5 days to develop symptoms, and there seems to uncertainty about detect virus before symptoms appear. Or you take test and if negative, one takes test 2 days later, to confirm it’s negative.
If a PCR based test is carefully designed and you have the appropriate positive and negative controls in your run, yes, it is valid.
First designed test in the US didn’t seem to fulfill those requirements. So called “primer dimers” formed that compromised it’s validity. Not so in other countries.
But but but these are “projections” not “predictions.”
And they are based on certain virus transmission scenarios. If you adjust the models to the actual transmission, they are almost right, lol.
I don’t have a TV but look occasionally at snippets for various reasons on youtube. Don’t have twitter either but found the hashtag #filmyourhospital on youtube. Scary, frightening and puzzling all at the same time. I’ll leave you to look if you want without putting any single video up but from Copenhagen, Canada, Ireland and especially the US the Hospitals are empty. There’s no big rush no war zone no health services under pressure. Staff within the Hospitals in some with no masks on. Freaky.
All elective procedures have been put on hold and these are the majority of demands placed on hospital resources. This has resulted in many medical personnel being furloughed.
I Don’t feel that addresses the issue of Health Services under siege, why are they on furlough when staff are reputed to be working to breaking point and all the empty tents for the overflow of patients etc, etc?
There are certain hotspots where the hospitals are very busy. Non-essential procedures and appointments have been cancelled and staff has been moved ER and ICU. I know one young doctor who moved to ER from a completely unrelated area and has been using Hydrochloroquine extensively. I, too, saw Dr. Oz and his comment was that the bad reactions to the drug were from people who had been using it for 5 to 10 years. The naysayers mostly have a bad case of TDS and cannot accept the proposition that President Trump has made a true statement.
They were filming in the hotspots NY and NJ in example. It isn’t an actual naysay it’s just a questioning about the level of hyperbole, especially from our media friends.
Entertaining, as always. Glad you spend the time you do
Dallas has John Wiley Price, Houston’s blessed with Sheila Jackson Lee. Might be other differences between the two but the most significant one (in my mind) is a pair of swinging testicles.
John Wiley is actually not that bad of a guy… for a corrupt democrat politician. He is much smarter than SJL and he will pick a public fight with other Democrats, which is rare these days.
And he daily drives a ’71 Monte Carlo SS454 (I saw him gassing it up at Fuel City) so he’s got good taste in classic cars.
And they are driving massive supply purchase orders from China with states outbidding themselves or taking each others orders.
In government epidemiological model projections, I think we have found people who are even more incompetent in modeling the future than the Energy Information Administration (EIA). (I wouldn’t have thought that was even possible!)
Here is what I wrote at the “Marginal Revolution” blog in response to Tuesday link #4: “Could it be that scientists are rising in stature?”

Fauci estimates on March 29th that 100,000 to 200,000 Americans will die from COVID-19 (but he doesn’t “want to be held to that”)
P.S. Speaking of the EIA’s incompetence, coal-fired power generation in January 2020 (that’s BC…”Before COVID-19″) was 65,170 gigawatt-hours…down a spectacular 35 percent from January 2019.
P.P.S. Considering the first postscript, I guess it’s pretty clear who is in “fantasy land”, eh, David?
I put it to you that the main reason we are seeing an increase in hospital admissions is because having previously subscribed to the ‘choose who gets to live or die’ panic out of Italy hospitals were sending the moderately ill people home again.
Then, having discovered (fortunately) that they were not double stacking the infected in hospital corridors while desperately trying to find an unused ventilator, hospital are now admitting the moderately ill because they have room and resources and basically why not.
I believe this can been seen in Australia at least. Your Country May Vary as I honestly haven’t looked, but ‘Serious’ cases the last couple of weeks has only been 1%. This is now 3% despite the fact the detection rate from testing seems stable at 1.7% (more or less) and that new infections seem to be trending down. I have seen news reports claiming that Australian hospitals, having cancelled all elective surgery in anticipation, are now filled with empty beds.
Sadly there still seems to be some people who are refusing to recognise these observations and are sticking to the ‘Until Christmas’ mantra. Our work Team Lead at our morning stand up repeated this this morning as well as the claim that New York, both city and state, were in utter chaos that was ‘worse than Italy’. Guess you believe that sort of thing if you watch and trust the ABC.
In the real world we see people who no longer believe. WHO seems to be more gaga over Lady Gaga, so clearly they are taking the apocalypse serious and when driving home last night a local skate park was well occupied. People no longer see Wuhan Virus as a realistic threat.
I have read several reports of people who were sent home from hospitals, who then died before ever getting back to one…including some young and previously healthy people.
He was feeling better for a few days, then in the middle of the night started having trouble breathing, and died alone because his wife was sleeping in another room…even though she was infected already…and she had it first and only a mild case!
My gut feeling is, any such story in the newspaper likely indicates a far larger number of such cases.
Most people who are dying are not getting a newspaper article.
I am not even sure the official numbers we all watch on the various websites, include people that die at home.
In the midst of this, it is probably more likely such people are not counted at all.
“Dallas County Commissioner Judge Clay (Fire Marshal Gump) Jenkins babbling incoherently.”
Is he Forrest Gump brother?
The models in Australia have done a dismal job, vastly overestimating the expected number of cases. Our number of new cases peaked a couple of weeks ago, and it now appears that the number of active cases has as well. The majority of cases here were imported, and it is difficult to come to any conclusion other than at this time of year the virus was never going to spin out of control. So many things were changed so quickly that unfortunately no useful conclusions can be drawn about what measures were useful, and what measures were useless.
We have 6000 known cases in Australia, half recovered , 93 in ICU, and 45 deaths – all but one aged over 60.
Most positive cases are evenly distributed over the 20 – 80yr ages.
Our open spaces, sun, large block homes, low density living, fresh breezes should enable effective isolation of those at risk and over 60 without shutting down the country. Retirement age is 67 and most of those in between have funds and family.
Still do distances and wash hands, etc. But most could still earn a living. Spend gov. $$ on beds and testing rather than bailouts.
11059 new cases and 1417 new deaths in France
Ren,
How many of those deaths were Covid 19 and how many were just Corona virus?
I don’t see the COVID-Act Now model showing that “flattening the curve”, by preventing herd immunity, causes repeated outbreaks of the virus following the first outbreak, as was modelled in the Imperial College papers. Under “flattening the curve”, at-risk groups and their households will need to stay isolated for much longer, possibly for 18 months until there’s a vaccine. Older people could need to stay isolated from their younger relatives and from routine medical care for 18 months. Many of the at-risk people will not have 18 months to live anyway, so for them this would be a life sentence of solitary house arrest and poor medical care.
That’s assume the vaccine helps and doesn’t make people more vulnerable to the disease, unlike many other vaccines.
Good point; the most important aspect of the vaccine even for the at-risk groups may well be the excuse it would give to halt the disastrous lockdowns, rather than how safe and effective it is.
Fauci said pause your life until there a vaccine. He never said anything about a useful vaccine, or anyone gets it!
Here in the UK, we have daily press briefings to put the wider public in touch with the latest government action.
Basically, the UK has closed down everything, even the pubs and churches and all places of worship.
The actual data coming out from government is what we observers cal,l economic truth. That is nothing to do with economics, it refers to official releasing only the part of the reality of events going on they wish to release.
We have wall to wall MSM coverage of every cough and wheeze, in case it might be indicative of the pandemic, but despite all this effort to massage the crisis into a crisis, the numbers of people dying in the UK when compared to the last five year average for this time of year is …down!
Even more disturbing than the scale of the destruction being done to our economy, is the subtle but noticeable change of words being used by the officials. The definitive Covid 19 description has been replaced by the general group term Corona virus.
At the start of the “crisis” the description of the villain was Covid 19. I notice that definitive ID has been dropped, and we now hear about deaths from Corona virus! Now, while Sars Cov 2 aka Covid 19 is a corona virus, so are most of the virus that impact health during the winter months here in the UK. Those “normal” Corona virus deaths, which number a few thousand in a good year and and tens of thousands in a bad year, do not merit economic shut down.
This, as I pointed out earlier, is a good year for UK virus mortality rates. Deaths were lower during the prime extra winter deaths period of the year, thousands lower than the past five year average, as officially stated by the ONS (Office for National Statistics).
What is troubling me is this,
The specific Covid 19 virus is clearly a new virulent in the soup of viruses, but is it that unusual? Is it more dangerous to children? The answer seems to be no. Is it more dangerous to young healthy adults than normal Corona virus that turns up every year, and most of us call a cold? No.
The only sector that is at high risk, are those with health issues or are old with health issues. That I would argue is no different from normal virus infection and in number of deaths it is in line with past outbreaks of novel virus infection.
Going back to the words being used now in press briefings. The talk is of death from Corona virus, which clearly now includes everyone with any form of corona virus in them, not just Covid 19.
We need to ask specific questions of those leading the fight. One question is, how are you differentiating between Covid 19 infection and other corona virus infection? Another question is, what is the death rate from corona virus, excluding Covid 19. I suspect, you would be greeted with silence as an answer.
As Ratty once said to Mole:
‘Don’t mean to grumble but has the entire world gone completely mad?’
‘Yes’ said Mole ‘and that’s a fact, and no mistake!’
Ratty and Mole, though, set a great example by listening to those who really did know what they were talking about, normally Badger, rather than Toad…….
Being unsuccessful in finding Badger, I nevertheless found the following:
‘……I would say the best advice is to spend less time watching TV news which is sensational and not very good. Personally, I view this Covid outbreak as akin to a bad winter influenza epidemic. In this case we have had 8000 deaths this last year in the ‘at risk’ groups viz over 65% people with heart disease etc. I do not feel this current Covid will exceed this number. We are suffering from a media epidemic!’
Professor John Oxford of Queen Mary University London, one of the world’s leading virologists and influenza specialists
‘How a profession that is supposed to control the powerful as an independent, critical, impartial Fourth Estate can succumb as quickly as lightning to the same collective hysteria as its audience, almost unanimously, and give itself over to court reporting, government propaganda and expert deification: It’s incomprehensible to me, it disgusts me, I’ve had enough of it, I dissociate myself from this unworthy performance with complete shame.’

Great allusion. Thanks for some literacy.
A different literature and a different Rati.

Sweden is to start reporting “died from” deaths rather than “died with”. They believe this will reduce the numbers by 80%. https://web.archive.org/web/20200404005730/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/04/03/coronavirus-swedish-experiment-could-prove-britain-wrong/

We have responded too tersely “No it’s not.” to panicked THE SKY IS FALLING so that it is CRYING WOLF to the hysterics of all sorts.
We must have Damocles’ Sword of Truth scythe through all prognosticators!
As for the effect of the recent economic downturn on atmospheric CO2 level: Dr. Roy Spencer is not expecting much, despite the current ~ 415 PPM being above the ~ 280 PPM of the 1800s due to manmade emissions. That extra ~ 135 PPM took decades to build up. To the extent that removal of excess CO2 from the atmosphere by nature can be approximated by exponential decay, its half-life is about 30 years according to a simple model by Spencer, about 41 years (time constant 59 years) according to one by Willis Eschenbach. Manmade emissions and the longer term rate of natural removal of the manmade surplus are at rates less than those of the seasonal sourcing and sinking by northern hemisphere vegetation (which causes the ripple in the Mauna Loa plot that peaks in the spring and bottoms out in early autumn), so it’s expectable for CO2 at Mauna Loa to continue rising in March and early April despite a sharp economic downturn.
So just drop me off at the next stop, I’ll maybe join the bus tour around the Sun again when the bus has calmed down and people can once again simply enjoy the ride without one upping each other in piety of conformity or shame. I prefer to not be around people that are intent to make everyone feel like a dirty no good organism for simply breathing. Just drop me off at the next stop ok? Pick me up again when the sheeple have gone squirrel onto something else, I hear it’s a good time of the decade to visit Saturn.
Debating on the error of overestimation in models based on…..what? What IS the base for these models? What are the assumptions built into the models? WHAT DID THEY ASSUME FOR IMMUNITY IN THE POPULATION? Zero? Did they assume the virus was 100% communicable because no virus is 100% communicable. There is always someone immune….a great number of those in the community are immune. But without antibody testing, nobody knows…so why assume that nobody IS immune? Why not run the numbers from the flu? We have data for that. Or SARS or MERS? Or Swine Flu, again, we HAVE that data…real data, not assumed data based on Italy(? is it? according to the sheeple watch it is, aren’t we all locked down to flatten the curve…or is it so stay home and stay safe….when did THAT morph?). No virus wipes out 100% or infects 100%. So why assume that with this one? Humanity has seen some pretty nasty viruses that are highly contagious with high death rates. Which means we have historical knowledge. USE IT. Because the numbers here don’t even hold a candle to what we’ve come to expect in seasonal viruses and loads every single year. And doesn’t even come close to a killer that is in our population that we don’t talk about anymore–TB. So why debate on the overestimation of the prediction models? Why not attack the basis for those models in the first place? I want to know what those models are based on and more importantly the confidence levels of the assumptions made.
We need real data, not assumptions. People go off about the testing, but if all your doing is testing for an active virus without viral load? Or only testing those you suspect have it? Well, your numbers are going to be confirmed no matter what. It’s called bias. We need widespread antibody testing. Get everyone tested for antibodies and get us all out of the house and back to freaking work. I know I am not alone here when I say, I suspect I’ve already had this virus in January. It wasn’t the flu, I can tell you that, I normally don’t get the flu but the few times I’ve had it, it wasn’t that at all. Very different and all the symptoms match exactly. It took me down and out for 3 full days, fever, no taste, no smell, dry cough, feeling like I got hit by a truck. It took me the better part of a week to feel normal again and regain my sense of smell. Symptoms match and that was in January. But without antibody testing I don’t know for sure and neither does anyone else.
My point is you can debate on the numbers all day long, but the numbers are without meaning if they are based and run on bad assumptions. Lets start with a basic run on a regular virus, stratify the data we do have and for cripes sake, start INCLUDING those with co morbidity because that is something that has come out of this. You can’t tell me that our modeling isn’t sophisticated enough to include those with co morbidity..that’s just bunk.
All models are wrong, some models are useful. The COVID Act Now model is not one of them.
The real problem is policy-makers and the hysteria-loving media do not understand the limits of models. The U.K went on lockdown because a (very dated) model predicted 500K deaths. The Rosanne Rosanna Danna moment came 2 weeks later when the updated model predicted 20K deaths instead. Only nobody seems to have noticed.
It is WITH THE ZINC flush. The hydroxychloroquine opens the pathway for the zinc. And the sooner the better. Waiting until “they are dying” to justify off label use is KILLING people. Start the treatment with the first symptoms. Hydro – Zinc – ZPac.
Pass it on.
Its hydrox plus zinc plus Zpac to save people. Start with first symptoms. Pass it on.
Models/modelers are the modern soothsayers, or prognosticators, or chicken entrails, or Tarot cards, or tea leaves, or Chinese Fortune Sticks. And about as accurate.
Bow down to the modelers (or else).
This is a tyranny of the “experts”.
Some people call it the medical mafia.
They had been planning for and expecting a pandemic of this type for a long time (they had been licking their lips in anticipation of DOING A LOCK-DOWN).
Remember this… “experts” are not necessarily right because they often have an agenda or they are determined to maintain they are right in their beliefs… and damn any evidence to the contrary.
Interesting to say the least that the people who formulated the models often have Democratic activist backgrounds.
Each individual has to make a decision about what is really going on… depending on your decision & conscience, there is action to be taken: contact your governor!
You might be able to only leave a message:
OPEN THE ECONOMY… GET PEOPLE WORKING AGAIN.
Remember, it’s the governors who shut down the economy… so, it must be the governors who open it up.
This situation will change only if the People Demand It.
The People are sovereign, not the governors, they serve at our pleasure.
The more I see the promotion of lock downs, the more I KNOW that was the goal, not a side effect. I feel that something HUGE is happening. We need answers. We need a revolution.
