I feel as though some of my threads over there are an legitimate if minor part of the scientific record — for example, the thread that laid out, 24 hours after the IHME model was first posted, why it would fail, and the follow-up three weeks later using its daily predictions and updates to validate that assessment.

I hate to simply vaporize these.

Anyway, it was a good run and I just figured I ought to note my decision here.
