Not the original commenter, but no, I'd hope not, in its current state. It's a shallow analysis, and it does a poor job of analyzing the data to try to understand causality in explaining case trends.
For example:
> Why would Floridas numbers start to decrease if not for herd immunity? We know they aren’t being more careful. Disney land reopened and there is a police sheriff who literally made a rule that police officers and people going into the station were not allowed to wear masks.
As I mentioned in another comment:
> For example, bars opened in early June in Florida. They closed on June 26th after cases started spiking.
To miss a policy change this significant in such a piece is pretty egregious if you are claiming that this is publishable quality.
I'll assume this was a good faith effort, but the piece has many flaws and draws conclusions that aren't well supported.
