[Axios @axios]

On March 26, 61 y.o. Eun Hee Chang was attacked by 3 men in my old neighborhood of Elmhurst. The Korean American home health aide was stabbed. Owners of Louie’s were also stabbed helping her. A fund was set up for them. A fund has now been set up for Ms. Chang. Please help.

@wormmaps The only thing worse than the profusion of epidemiologists hawking their own models is the greater profusion of economists playing amateur epidemiologists. (And I say that as an economist...) h/t @mattyglesias
