Since the media does a piss-poor job of analyzing data, I decided to do this one on my own. I took raw data from https://covidtracking.com/data/us-daily, run a few formulas and chart some data of interest.
So, there are a few things to focus on here. The data seems to indicate something shifted with testing around June 1st. Looking at "COVID Daily Tests vs % Positive", you can see that as tests initially ramped up, cases came down. This changed around June 1st, where a higher percentage of people started testing positive. This is also indicated in "Daily Testing vs Daily Positives", where you can better see the June 1st shift. This shift has NOT translated into more deaths however, which is interesting. If you look at the "COVID19 Daily New Cases vs Deaths", you can see that around June 1st, as positive cases ramped up, deaths continued to decline. Obviously, this results in a much better mortality rate, and I indicated this in "Daily New Tests vs Mortality Rate". Again, you can see that around June 1st, the mortality rate sharply declined, with the sharp increase in positive cases along with the steady decline in deaths.
What does all of this mean? I'm not sure...maybe we started getting more false positives with the ramp up in testing around June 1st. Or maybe we started recording cases that weren't that serious, and wasn't being captured because of lack of testing before. Either way, as the media ha shifted their focus from reporting on deaths to reporting on cases, we're now seeing our lowest daily death counts at the same time we're seeing our highest daily cases. The mortality rate, which was showing 6-8% at some points in April and May has now fallen to around 0.5%, meaning 99.5% are surviving.
This needs to be the top comment. They provide no source for that connection, but do provide a link. In the linked article they provide, they also have no source, and don't even claim a source...they just claim it as fact. Seeing as how that article is full of bullshit on nearly every other claim, I'm calling shenanigans.
Has "been through more than most of you will face in your lifetime."
I'll take that bet.
The SKU # angle is retarted. It's not the SKU that gives those results, it's adding ussrc to the end of it. You get the same results with ussrc by itself or by typing any random string of characters before or after ussrc.
This is the kind of shit that makes us look like crazy conspiracy theorists and cause everybody to dismiss the entire story, because it can easily be proven as nonsense. This is the hidden basement of the Wayfair scandal.
Damn, I'm still trying to sleep. Volume mix was pretty rough, I'll give you that.
I have them the other way around, but thoroughly enjoy both.
Agree to disagree. Watched it once to learn. Watched it the next 5 times for the laugh.
To be fair, his latest interview was batshit crazy. He called Obama & Clinton "special". Said his party would be called the "Birthday Party" because when he wins it'll be like everybody's birthday. Said he'd run the White House like Wakanda. Said that coronavirus was not China's fault, and that he loves China and is pro-China. The first promise he made was that the NBA would open up from "Nigeria to Nanchang"...because the NBA is definitely the primary responsibility of our POTUS. And finally, stated that his Presidency would be like “the Trump campaign, and maybe the Bernie Sanders principles", you know, because those are pretty compatible with each other, right?
...Looks at wife ...Looks at this "woke" leftist Pretty sure I made the right call
Alternate Post: Had a successful guy in a Maserati slow down to try to figure out WTF I am.
I guarantee you all the fear mongering friends on my Facebook feed that aren't capable of an original thought will see this and believe the virus is suddenly more dangerous. OMG, it's airborne! Just bracing myself for the upcoming idiocy.
A noose that wasn't even a noose, for that matter. These people have lost their shit.
Black Lives Killed By Police Officers on Camera During an Election Year Matter
Come on mods, this is ridiculous. These officers did not even work in the same precinct, and had vastly different roles. It's more likely that none of them every saw the laptop than it is all of them saw it.
Deputy Chief Steven J. Silks - Patrol Borough Queens North
Detective Joseph Calabrese - Brooklyn South homicide squad
Officer Michael Caddy - 121st Precinct
Officer Terrence McAvoy - Staten Island transit unit
Officer Kevin Preiss - Bronx 50th Precinct off-duty
Officer Johnny Rios - Yankee Stadium detail assignment
Officer Robert Echeverria - NYPD Strategic Response Group
Would love to hear the theories on what the Yankee Stadium cop had on Hillary Clinton.
It most certainly is just a random list.
"Heavy.com has found no evidence to suggest Silks was involved in the handing over of Anthony Weiner’s laptop to the FBI. "
Nothing at all links him to the Weiner case.
This was my first thought too, but it doesn't pass the scrutiny test. In case you weren't aware, the pull rope on the neighboring garage was untied and straightened out, so that it no longer resembled a noose. If said perpetrator was trying to "send Bubba a message", why straighten out the next-door garage rope pull? To me, that sounds more like somebody didn't want somebody else to make the connection that is where the "noose" came from.
Not to mention Twitter and the NASCAR subreddit have suddenly gone full leftist. You are not allowed to ask any questions whatsoever about the incident, bigot! Just look at all of the "first time" NASCAR fan comments. NASCAR probably sees this as a big win right now. I can't wait to visit a NASCAR track in the future and get physically assaulted for wearing a Trump shirt.
Bubba's Momma has stated that there were no cameras where the "noose was hung".
Well, even NASCAR has acknowledged there was no fan access to the area, so they're going with the story that this person was "race personnel". They're right, but not the way they want to be.
You probably couldn't find 100 people in America under the age of 60 who can even make such a knot.
That was my first thought too...that somebody could have just cut that off and threw it on his car or something. But the part that doesn't make that stick is how the neighboring garage's rope pull was manipulated. Somebody had untied the knot from the next-door garage and straightened out the rope, so that it no longer resembled a noose. The only reason somebody would do that would be an attempt to deceive, so that somebody (NASCAR, FBI, etc) wouldn't notice that it's identical to the "noose". If you were trying to intimidate Bubba or "send him a message", no way in hell you change the appearance of the rope in the next garage.
Of course they do. I got banned, for I don't even know what. I was actually being respectful too, so no idea why they banned me except to suppress discussion of the shooting.
That's the insanity of it. Lincoln preferred that option, but it was the leaders of the black church who convinced him that they were Americans and had no desire to leave. I feel like they were more patriotic then than now.
