Maybe like me, you will misinterpret this Hot Air headline.

LOL. Anything to get clicks and spice up the conversation. Many more would listen to Dr. Fauci if he got a Swedish model in bikini to speak for him.
I'm willing to delve into her prognostication.
Well, everyone gets to weigh in, apparently.
The Swedish Model is a nice looking girl and probably has as good a chance of getting it right as anyone.
Also remember - death is new. No one ever died before. not before Trump's Katrina!
I wouldn't doubt the female scientists in Sweden working on that infection model actually look like that.
More reason to be LockdownSceptic.org
So now we have pivoted from mentally disturbed teenagers to models for our "expert" analysis?
Spectacular ad placement.
Why doesn't Trump have a Swedish model at the daily briefing?
I look forward to the Sports Illustrated Virology Edition
Since we're on the subject of models "modeling":
How virus's evolve
Hotair, PJ Media, and a few other websites are literally ones I seek to avoid nowadays. And I'm an avid consumer of "right" news sources.
On the flip side, if anyone here reads CNN.com have you noticed their near daily major articles attacking Fox News? I've never before seen one mainstream media source attack one of the largest other mainstream media sources so adamantly and frequently. And without any recognition of self-awareness, conflict of interest, etc.
P.S. I avoid PJ media but still love instapundit for Glenn R. and one or two of his posters. I meant I avoid PJ media's main site or PJ media driven news articles.
Hot Air has become a weird place long after Michelle Malkin sold it off to Townhall.com. They love misleading headlines and anti-Trump propaganda. Lately they've been on an anti-HQL tirade like the rest of the MSM trying to find a way to blame Trump for any death and disease they can.
There's no reason to click through. Everything you need to see about the model is in that picture.
Boy you people keep losing friends first it was William f Buckley and his spawn then Max boot and some of the other semi conservative bloggers, now hot air and pajamas media OMG. No wonder you act so scared and lash out at the slightest teeniest bit of criticism.
As I recall, Althouse had an invite to join PJ and turned it down, detailing her reasons here. That seems prescient now. Even Simon has jumped ship. Insta is still mostly good though Reynolds is a bit of a wet on Corona, and I can't read Hoyt even though we are generally on the same team.
The pictured young woman is likely to know at least as much about the Covid-19 issue as, say, Chris Cuomo.
And is likely less vain.
When I said that some models were useful, that was not what I had in mind.
Juxtaposition skill level: DRUDGE
People are dying from Covid 19 because clinical research is so slow. We need drugs that work. Fast.
Consider Covmodel.org. These people are doing nice work. None of the crazy hysterics that Covid 19 is going to wipe out civilization. But their model still predicts an ultimate death toll of 11,940 at end of May for New York City. 0.13% of the population will die in a span of two months! That is a terrible price to pay for herd immunity (undoubtedly, NYC will be near herd immunity at end of outbreak).

Wince: "I'm willing to delve into her prognostication."
She appears to have significant....Big...Data.
And huge tracts of land no doubt....
That is random ad. Different one shows up for me.
I went to Google Images and typed Swedish Model.
HOT!! and not a compute among them.
Howard: "Boy you people keep losing friends first it was William f Buckley and his spawn then Max boot and some of the other semi conservative bloggers,..."
LOL! "...semi conservative..." = pro-abortion, pro-open borders, pro-New Green Deal, pro-democrat.
Yeah, I'd say the conservative/republicans will do ok without those "semi conservatives"..(actually, liberals).
Latest polls released yesterday show 96% republican base support of Trump. Thats higher than Reagan or both Bushies.
But Oh No! We've lost far left (now) pro-dem Max Boot!! Oh woe unto us....
It appears the lefty billionaire tactic of paying the same 50 or so lefty FakeCons to to write pro-dem stuff is working like gang busters on Howard.
Remember: Do not laugh in the presence of pain and death!
Tell that to Mary Richards
Who funds The Bulwark? Far left billionaire Omidyar.
Who funds Max Boot? Jeff Zucker at CNN.
Who funds George Conway and crew? Other lefty billionaires, including Soros and Reid Hoffman.
Yeah, its a real mystery why all these "semi conservatives" (wink wink) are writing pro-dem stuff.
An inexplicable mystery. We may never solve this riddle.
Max Boot was never "semi-conservative". He is an autistic warmonger who glommed onto the GOP because the Democrats did not hate Russia enough in the 80s.
indeed, the subsequent actions indicate malice
Nice juxtaposition!
No matter how beautiful they first appeared, all the models will need some reconstructive surgery now that autopsies are finding COVID-19 deaths much earlier than previously believed. ""autopsies have now revealed that COVID-19 was responsible for the February 6 and 17 deaths of two people in Santa Clara County. Another person in Santa Clara died of COVID-19 on March 6."
Paging Achilles.

Yeah,even the Instapundit page is now filled with that crap, from Driscoll and Hoyt especially. Glenn is great, as are Bernstein and Heriot, but the rest are a net detriment. And so many links to the rest of that media group ...
Howard said...Boy you people keep losing friends
That’s what happens when you’re about ideas instead of personalities.
As a group, Instapundit is hit or miss, but it’s like rapid fire comedy—if you don’t like one post, another will come along in a few minutes.
Swedish models are the best models.
Anyway, we still need more "cases."
I'd trust a member of the Swedish Bikini Team more than any DemCong.
Too late, I laughed. She must have a really high IQ.
"Maybe like me, you will misinterpret this Hot Air headline."
Yep, I did.

Thanks for that update, TJ. I try to slavishly emulate you in everything, without needing a reason, and this kind of posting really helps.
SO, tangential question; Why are there ads on your web browser? Don't you use AdBlock?
"Yeah, its a real mystery why all these "semi conservatives" (wink wink) are writing pro-dem stuff."
Yep. The dispatch and Washington Examiner are also funded by the Liberal/Left. Who is funding the American "Conservative" is a mystery. National Review is now getting $$$ from Google and Facebook, one reason they're so unconcerned about Conservatives being deplatformed.
What headline?

Unless you work on Wall Street, you don't have enough money to get within a foot of her prognostication.
Click through to the article itself, it is very interesting. Also, why no link to click through to the bikini model - that would also likely be very, uhhm, interesting...
She's no Greta Thunberg.

As I read this on a call about launching 2 new COVID-19 studies urgently (among the 76 I'm supporting...)
No, I'm sorry, no.
People aren't dying from COVID-19 because clinical research is so slow. People are dying from COVID-19 because it's an incredibly infectious NOVEL virus with never before seen pathology and characteristics, with no known therapies that treat it, and with the emergence of a global pandemic less than 2 months ago (bear in mind WHO declared it a global pandemic ~5 weeks ago).
In the middle of that, all clinical research globally (about a $70 billion/year industry) was disrupted because it typically requires patients to visit physician offices and research monitors to go on site and ensure the research is being done appropriately.
Meanwhile, that $70 billion dollar industry just spun on a dime and launched 100 new research studies into a variety of therapies and vaccines BEFORE THE VIRUS IS EVEN WELL UNDERSTOOD.
So, please, don't blame the very industry and people our society is now relying upon to help us get past this mess. My industry has sooo much wrong with it, but I've never been prouder of what I've seen it do in the last month.
Swedish model? Can Rod Stewart be far behind?
LOL. Anything to get clicks and spice up the conversation. Many more would listen to Dr. Fauci if he got a Swedish model in bikini to speak for him. South Korea says Kim Jong Un in grave danger after heart surgery???

Gosh, yes. I’m sure they’re just sitting around doing fuck-all.
I’ve really come to loathe the panic-mongers.
That’s the trouble with being a mathematician. I always assumed that the headline referred to the mathematical model Sweden was using to justify their “herd immunity” policy.
In my job I work with models for forecasting all the time. Super models even.
Now I kind of wish there were a story with a fashion model's thoughts on COVID-19. Why not? They're currently trying to churn out as much COVID news as possible because it gets the clicks.
Hot Air is still a thing? Last I checked, it was filled to the gunwales with a bunch of NeverTrumper assholes. Sad. It used to be a decent site.
that girl sure gets around!
Hot air indeed.
Not to be too juvenile but is this a good argument for sacrifices to flatten the curve (s)?
Got me.
The Swedish model is drop dead gorgeous, A little standoffish, but a real beauty.
