Thanks Mark for the podcast. Numbers are diabolical when used for political reasons. The current status in Australia for CV-19 that have died with this virus so far (not from it) is just over 900. That is for a population of about 25 Million. The State with the worst outcome is Victoria with a population of about 6 Million and accounted for about 800 of those deaths, of course that state government is socialist bent. The premier (governor)of that state got high praise from the left side of the media from bringing the virus under control. Sort like praising an arsonist for putting out his own fire.
Thanks for this. I downloaded the video for safe keeping, knowing it's only a matter of time until the Eye of Google gazes upon it.
Biggest submission ritual in history.

Absolute cunts.
This entire situation makes me feel extremely hopeless for the future with no sense of control. I hope someone in a "position of authority" is actually thinking about this, but I doubt they will.

On modelists: consider these predictions made on August 27th. Some are by a generously funded and staffed research organization. The others are by an unfunded 20-something with a laptop. Guess which is which.
The lack of integrity in the media, and of validity in the underlying models and data, and of humility and caution in researchers, are enough to doom the entire statistical enterprise, in the eyes of the public.
Not everyone is committing these errors. Here is one example of well-presented COVID-19 research appearing at a reputable conference. It studies disease spread using causal inference, and is authored by the world expert on the latter. It is written very carefully to not satisfy someone who is merely skimming for quasi-political statements. The only such sentence is (their bold) “At present, we would thus not recommend that our empirical findings be used to guide public policy.”
