Please forgive us, but we seem to have heard this before.

Ah, Yes. What could possibly go wrong? “Predictive modeling that guided Minnesota’s initial response to COVID-19 is being “recalibrated” with the latest pandemic data and will offer new forecasts about the spread of the infectious disease.”

"Minnesota Governor Tim Walz ordered a widespread shutdown of normal life on March 25, effective (11:59 p.m.) March 27. In his remarks explaining the order, he premised his order on 74,000 projected deaths from COVID-19. Last week we learned that, if the order worked out as hoped, it would save 24,000 lives. We have yet to see the model. Maybe someday he’ll let us in on the secret."
