Description

There is no shortage of dishonest reporting on COVID-19 these days, and we are here to help you understand what is really going on. Statistician extraordinaire Joshua Ketter is back with us to break down not only the COVID facts for Texas but for the country as a whole. How does Texas compare to NY? The NY Times wrote that the situation in Texas was "New York all over again". Why would they lie like that? What numbers are truly important? Is it the death rate? The case rate? Why are death rates so often reported incorrectly? Should children go back to school now? We cover all of these things, and more importantly, we put the information in the correct context and explain what actually matters.
