Same crap, just different sides of the street

Yesterday I read an article in the NYT about how many cases of covid-19 resulted from the rally in Sturgis SD. The story seemed to have wide media dissemination. The only problem with it, it was built on a statistical model which could not be supported by facts---it was a mathematical hit job to support a prior conclusion.

Today, in an OP ED in the WSJ, appears a piece which is critical of the claims of wide spread covid infections from the Sturgis Rally. The author began, by pointing out some of the factual short comings of the prior article, but then proceeded to construct an equally poor statistical model to support the new claim---which, while likely correct in it's conclusion, was bogus in it's "justification".

Reader beware.
