That’s the point. Normies don’t actually get it. And so their stupid “Dur orange man keeps talking about ratings - this is serious” is a silent red pill. Everyone knows the mainstream media is trying to censor these briefings. Trump being narcissistic is already baked-in, no surprise to anyone. But this gets the conversation going that what you see isn’t the whole story (tough message for him to deliver)
This is actually a great point. We’re talking about a contagious virus. Lots of asymptomatic cases. China lied and covered up = this thing was already making the rounds in January-February.
Testing is just catching up to the final leg of the curve ...think 2 standard deviations from the mean ‘peak’. I bet there’s a substantial part of the population self-inoculated which would be the green light to immediately return to work
He didn’t do it fast enough Bill. Also, all the draconian, I mean Democratic, states are doing much more than the red states. So they’re extra right. The red states are following Trump and not locking down and not taking it seriously
^^ That’s the talking point
I’m thinking this is the last dying throes of the swamp. JOE FUCKING BIDEN is their shot, despite his mental illness. Ukraine-gate alone was enough to sink him. The bullpen is thin
Spez: I just realized too, Biden has tons and tons of photo-ops sniffing and groping children, and in “post-Covid social-distancing life”, the optics are BRUTAL
Agreed. Concerts, sporting events, casinos, clubs, malls, theatres, tourist landmarks - enough people will come back, and no one wants to miss out on the fun. The only thing the DS can do is make those events/activities illegal, which they want to do but can’t.
I said it was absurd. You asked twice why it’s surprising as if I said it was surprising. I didn’t, I said it was absurd
The models which I called absurd, not surprising, have revised their numbers for everything from beds to ventilators to deaths down 50%-100% just over the past week. I haven’t been bothered to look until April 1, so perhaps over the past few weeks it’s even more steep (I’ll put money on it).
The model explicitly states how social distancing measures and quarantine are incorporated.
So perhaps it’s surprising to some, that the social distancing and quarantine have been more effective than even the models predicted, but we’ve basically placed the entirety of human civilization, trillions upon trillions upon trillions of dollars, on these numbers having weight. Absurd
Only my phone right now. You’d hope there’s at least one journalist in the world journalist-ing, however I’d assume you will not find that information anywhere
John Solomon had an article a day or two ago, but as for anyone showing update-to-update changes, you’re probably stuck with either “far right wing conspiracy theory websites” or doing it yourself like me
This is fucking absurd. From April 1 to April 8:
Beds needed dropped 94.2%
ICU beds needed dropped 68.6%
Vents needed dropped 63.2%
Deaths predicted dropped 43.0%
And these are the models we are using to dictate the literal collapse of civilization.
This happens with virtually everything in the world, there’s outliers. We’re talking literally about millions of cases. Relax brother
