That's too bad. The one time it might make a difference (test the impression that Chinese are more susceptible) and they don't collect race data.

ERs in cities are often full of people who use them as their primary care center. Maybe they are taking care of their own sniffles. Maybe the cops are doing something else with the usual street nutcases.

It isn't just Fauci. It's a general distrust attack that is deployed all the time against anyone near Trump. We already can judge what we think of anyone's opinions, we can understand that there is opposition to MAGA in general, we can see Trump roll with the punches and come out ahead daily. These wormtongues are there to sow fear and anger and erode confidence by starting people down rabbit holes of indignation. What the hell difference does it make if Fauci always takes the pessimist side? I'd rather he did than be like the President of Mexico and blow it all off so that now Mexico is about to explode with cases.

It has to be proved. Her statement sounded pretty rambling and evasive, but that isn't enough- a defense could point out her history of mental illness, valium and ambien addiction, bad directions on the cleaner powder. Taking "a spoonful" is fraught with ways to give varying doses and poison someone. Gack. Even if she had a milligram scale to do it right, she might have to do math and we know libs are not good at that.

Have more of it. Suppose 200 million would be appropriate candidates and the rest can't or shouldn't take it. If we could clear the 200 million it would make the virus die out much faster, so it would be great. But if that was 2 pills for 6 days x 200 million it would be 2400 million doses.

He admitted he took it willingly, before he died, so what can they do? It was in a powder form, very easy to OD, but she can just say they were following the label, or he insisted on more, or something like that.

For the prices they charge it should have been more.

I didn't draw it so I can only guess that the edges of the pink are 3 SDs away from the mean in the middle, since more is usually ignored.

PS This could still be so if the distribution is skewed, as it isn't symmetrical. The SD is a % of the total, not a distance exactly.

This graph you are looking at is like looking top down at a bell curve as it moves through time. All of the pink area is the probability of dying--it grows then shrinks along with cases. Rule of thumb, if you want to know the best odds, find the center of the probability spread. In this case it is the dotted line. The dotted line does not mark anything else but the highest probability! Not a guarantee! It's actually been matching the reality quit well, and an aberrance means something altered the probability, like more cases than expected. This is why the model needs constant tweaking.

It's always been true that restaurants have a super high failure rate. Also true that there are no end of people who like to cook and think they can succeed in the business. Wish more of the current ones could turn to takeout.

Trump is more in charge than ever and he hates a mess.

One way that could get off is surge in new critical cases, as it appears a few people go along moderately and turn bad. Another way is that the care the really sick ones are getting is actually good enough to keep them going a little longer than predicted, resulting in a bump later. And a third way is that cases are added as due to COVID when it was really something else. These models are only probabilistic predictions: notice the dotted line is surrounded by a pink area. The pink area is the odds or probability overall, the dotted line is the place of maximum probability.

Newsome said something like that too. These guys are liking the dictatorship possibilities.

Maybe they can get Patreon to fund a YouTube channel where they can post vids of their life as brave young hipsters. Like Cheap Luxury Living or My SJW World.

China and Iran have both been establishing themselves in Venezuela. All three of those countries have had serious cash flow. Mexican cartels are desperate for Chinese chemicals. Between them it could take a pretty impressive force to take out the narco crowd. Yet I don't think it is about a few smugglers, or refugees. I think as Trump hinted, they may think they have an opportunity now. Maybe it has to do with the possible attack by Iran, maybe we are about to take out Maduro.

Well, Drudge and others used to drag out the old Yellowstone story ridiculously often. That's the bit that makes it look real, I guess.

Orban is hardly the saint people may think. On the other hand, if Susan Rice feels threatened by him, he's doing the right thing. If the EU kicks them out, he will probably turn toward Russia for money, as Hungary is fairly poor.

To all the conspiracy theorists who quote Fauci saying that Trump was going to be surprised by an epidemic, here's the frustrated doc in charge of the Cali program:

“It’s the nearsightedness of political decision-making,” said Backer, who retired last year. “If you talked to the experts, we knew that pandemics were going to come around.” And every PH doc knows that and would say that.
