• When the President Shows You an Old Man Shouting ‘White Power’ – The New York Times
  That odd phrasing posits a nearly impossible scenario in which the President listened attentively to two minutes of vitriol but somehow missed its defining moment. The “white power” shout happens eight seconds in — it is literally the first significant event — and it has the kind of formal clarity a film director might envy. A wide shot establishes the scene, and then the camera zooms in on the “white power” man, who, three seconds later, unmistakably shouts, “White power,” then repeats it to make sure everyone heard. To miss this would require superhuman powers of cluelessness. It would be like recommending that everyone watch Abraham Zapruder’s wonderful footage of a scenic but uneventful 1963 parade in downtown Dallas.

• Modeling COVID-19 scenarios for the United States | Nature Medicine
  We use COVID-19 case and mortality data from 1 February 2020 to 21 September 2020 and a deterministic SEIR (susceptible, exposed, infectious and recovered) compartmental framework to model possible trajectories of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infections and the effects of non-pharmaceutical interventions in the United States at the state level from 22 September 2020 through 28 February 2021. Using this SEIR model, and projections of critical driving covariates (pneumonia seasonality, mobility, testing rates and mask use per capita), we assessed scenarios of social distancing mandates and levels of mask use. Projections of current non-pharmaceutical intervention strategies by state—with social distancing mandates reinstated when a threshold of 8 deaths per million population is exceeded (reference scenario)—suggest that, cumulatively, 511,373 (469,578–578,347) lives could be lost to COVID-19 across the United States by 28 February 2021. We find that achieving universal mask use (95% mask use in public) could be sufficient to ameliorate the worst effects of epidemic resurgences in many states. Universal mask use could save an additional 129,574 (85,284–170,867) lives from September 22, 2020 through the end of February 2021, or an additional 95,814 (60,731–133,077) lives assuming a lesser adoption of mask wearing (85%), when compared to the reference scenario.
