@PeteSouza 1. @GovKemp My parents brought my sister & I to this country so that we could have a better life bc #Salazar, the #PortugalsDictator limited what we #Peasants could do to improve our lives. And we also lived in fear of being arrested at any moment by the #SecretPolice, #PIDE....
@PeteSouza @GovKemp 2. It seems to me that you & the @GOP are depriving #Poor #AmericanCitizens their #RightToVote. A #TruePatriot would make it easier for ALL Americans to vote; not just the privileged! But then we know that Americans are tired of how the @GOP governs & we don't approve.....
@PeteSouza @GovKemp @GOP 3. of the #GOP's agenda & your #ConspiracyTheories! You can bet that this #EuropeanAmerican who remembers what it felt like to live in fear in a #PoliceState will do everything in her power to assure that the @GOP #VoterSuppression laws fail! My parents made many sacrifices....
Such analysis is good. But im confused. Dont these results contradict wat epidemiologists tell us? Containment policies decrease peak # of cases but prolong duration of epidemic. Here duration of epidemic decreases as well. Why? Can someone from #PIDE working on this explain?
For reference, here are results from the Imperial paper. Containment policies decrease peak # of cases (as in PIDE work) but increase the duration of crisis (opposite PIDE work). 
It is super important to get the duration right because otherwise we will not only underestimate the economic cost of containment policies but the policy response to resulting economic crisis will also be inadequate.
