50/ This pandemic is a public health crisis. *And* a humanitarian one. *And* an administrative one. *And* an economic one. *And* a political one. *And* an ethical one. *And* a crisis management one. *And* a journalistic one. *And* a communications one. We must accept that. /end
PS/ Just as I finish—BREAKING NEWS consistent with this thread. 1⃣ "Experts still don't know how deadly COVID-19 is." 2⃣ "A new model finds the number of COVID-19 deaths in the U.S. has not yet peaked, and will likely not reach an apex until after May 1."

UPDATE/ Consistent with this thread, the U.S. has just set another new high for daily COVID-19 deaths. The original IHME model—much reported upon—predicted we would hit a peak in deaths about 9 days ago because it didn't consider what *other* experts were saying about "plateaus."
