In these turbulent, uncertain times, it’s reassuring to know that there are some things that remain constant.
Like Neil deGrasse Tyson’s ability to make a complete ass of himself.
For an alleged Man of Science, Tyson sure takes an unscientific approach to the COVID19 crisis:

It’s also not good to have data representation which doesn’t account for:
– Population differences
– More testing
– China lyingIt’s like using a share price alone to determine which company is more valuable. Or claiming CA is close to TX by folding a map.

Mr. Science sharing pretty-much meaningless data adjusted for zero important factors and still using fake Chinese data. ? https://t.co/g4hlyuBghG

It's equally not good that America's top science communicator appears not to know what a per capita is … and also trusts the Chinese numbers be know are lies.

Hopefully not bats.
Man, you are way too smart to post something like that! There is zero chance you posted this in good faith.

Spoiler: He’s not that smart. But we absolutely believe that he’s a bad-faith actor.
You're pretty good at the things you're pretty good at. This ain't one of 'em.

We honestly weren’t aware that he was pretty good at anything.
Oh, and by the way, Neil:
Maybe it’s just me but I don’t see the point in being snarky about a deadly virus killing Americans

Do us all a favor, Mr. Wizard:
Oh do piss off already.
