If he is CERTAIN then by all means hang your hat on it. It's only 3/4 months in to a totally new highly infectious disease. He obviously has it all figured out. What was his name again so I can start raising money to build a monument to him in his home town. I think it might be a bit premature in DC. HOOPFULLY it isn't.Quote:

My county in Tennessee -- Hamilton County, where Chattanooga is located -- reports those figures daily, too. Florida's curve appears to skew a little older than my county's. For instance, the chart in the dude's tweet shows that 18% of cases in Florida are in people older than 65. In Hamilton County, cases among people 61 and older account for only 8% of the total cases. Likewise, while 36% of Florida's deaths are in those 85 or older, only 10% of Hamilton County deaths are in people 81 or older. Granted, the elderly are still the ones at the highest risk of death here, but it's not the oldest bracket that's been disproportionately hit -- the biggest brackets here are 61 - 70 and 71 - 80. They combine for 55% of our deaths. Every other age bracket accounts for 10% or less.Quote:

This may be neither here nor there, but I just went to read a little more about hospitalizations in Florida and it looks like the governor recently decided to alter the way hospitalization data is calculated for COVID cases.
Florida with 8942 cases reported today and 137 deaths. Previous highs were 5508 cases, 83 deaths.
Mississippi has no deaths under 18Quote:

This local news also says 137

That's weird. Here's state's report. It matches worldometers data

Whats weird about it? The media lies.Quote:

The truth is our leadership failed the American people and have blood all over their hands. This shit just keeps climbing higher and higher and higher. It's sad as hell and could have largely been mitigated. If you have friends and family in Houston, pray for em. If not, pray for those of us who do. We really ****ed this up to where all we can do is send thoughts, prayers, and whine about wearing masks.
Good to see you back from the banned list.Quote:

Fauci himself came out a few weeks ago and said that initially they said not to wear masks because they were fearful of the supply available. It wasn't until they felt like they had an adequate supply did they reverse course and inform everyone to begin wearing masks. What you're seeing now is a continued delegation of responsibilities so that they can absolve themselves of the consequences. The Cornoa Task Force was suspended, even though we now have more cases than we've ever had, and the ball sent to the states. The Governors have taken the ball and then punted to the local politicians. Not sure where the locals are to kick it to, but it seems like they've decided to simply say it is "personal responsibility".
I, personally, think that it should be up to the general public as long as health organizations are not being over taxed. The reason people are over this whole thing is because we tried to paint the situation with too broad of a brush in the beginning when it should have been localized to monitor the spread.
Thanks. I took my time off to gain some perspective of the other side. Haven't turned CNN on in a week. Only Fox News for me. Watched that rally. Good stuff. If you like netflix stand-up. Embarrassing that that's our president. The glass of water routine was pure comedy. But I don't want Bill Burr to be my president.Quote:

As for your last point. I wonder if we hadn't disbanded the pandemic task force that Obama had left behind that they would have recommended that. We'll never know but just something to think about.
It's insane to me this guy was supposed to bring in the best and deferred blame on everyone he hired or kept as if it's not his fault they aren't the best. The only campaign promise he kept was that we'd get sick of winning. He just misspoke. Meant to say we'd be winning at being sick.
Wear a mask. It protects others and not you.
