Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

I would differentiate between living in a shelter and living under the highway

You can differentiate, but they're both homeless. The guy in shelter one night is under the bridge the next. If you want to come down and do some work I can set it up.

And watching a poster claim that voting independent somehow absolves them from any culpability is like seeing a turd laying on the floor next to the toilet.

Your're damn straight. I have a clear conscience that I didn't vote for Trump or Hillary. Maybe more of you dipshits on both sides should wake the fudge up and stop your hand wringing.

No because the only time I was totally wrong it turns out I was mistaken.

Which “only time“ are you referring to?

The “only time” where you assumed I had taken a side on hydroxychloroquine?

Or the “only time“ where you misunderstood that I was calling that debate the second stupidest thing to happen during this pandemic and formulated that response?

Or is it the “only time” where you exclaimed that you weren’t pushing an agenda despite having just tried to avoid acknowledging that parts of the country are reaching the critical thresholds that we were warned about as early as February?

I usually am.

We don't usually get hung up on stuff like that. .. Do we @0nelilreb? Lol

Just in case someone thought I was kidding. This lady is all thru the comments

Someone I know shared a tweet on facebook yesterday that used a 0.5% mortality rate for calculating potential deaths of children if schools reopen. And then it went on to say this would be 64k child deaths.

I corrected it, noting that 0.5% is closer to the total infection fatality rate, including the elderly. And that if you use the CDC best estimate for 0-49 yo (they don't break it down more than that), you would see 4k deaths. And, if you use the Lancet-published values from March that have held up fairly well, that falls to about 400 deaths (using the assumptions they made for the number of children that get infected).

I didn't even comment further than to correct the math.

A woman then asked me if I had ever had to bury one of my children.......

The only people I see politicizing mask wearing is the left virtue signalers. I DGAF if a person wears a mask or not, if a business requires a mask I will wear one if I want to utilize them. I'm just opposed to the .gov mandating their use.

OK...LOL...people wear masks for different reasons than you believe....that response is ultra stupid

Did you reply, "Yes, but they keep digging out"?

You just validated my point, I don't care if/why someone wears a mask. I have only seen/heard mask wearers screaming or shamming those that don't.

Try this, instead.

That's kind of silly. Gary Johnson, for example, could have been a complete disaster as president. But you have the benefit of justifying your votes with platforms and policies that are completely hypothetical. Of course there is no moral consequence when you support something you know will not happen.

 

[hog88]

The key to not being a dipshit is to wake the fudge up and throw your vote away. Got it.
I'm not a big fan of turds, but I understand they are one of life's unpleasant necessities. I will continue to prefer the ones that actually land in the toilet and not on the floor.

Voting third party is not throwing your vote away but I do agree with you that many like to virtue signal about how "it's not my fault, I voted 3rd party".

well if its only 400, I guess its o.k., right...just so the Orangeman get brag on decreasing unemployment rate.

Two-thirds of today's 120 reported deaths occurred in the last 2.5 weeks, though. Had they been more distributed I would agree more with what you are saying. If this is the only day this happens, then no big deal. But in general I've noticed Florida deaths have usually been very lagged. There's a decent chance this happens more, stacking up more deaths in that late June period.

Less than 10 a day? Maybe 7 a day. Is that a significant adjustment?

This is the side I still need answered. What is considered bad/unacceptable?

 

[RavinDave]

Most state's dental boards require things such as getting your temp taken. A patient that refuses that touchless thermometer temp reading is not someone you want to do any medical treatment on. Being a medical doctor has nothing to do with taking one's temp. They're doing it in airports and other places

My local barbershop is using a touchless thermometer now.

It's not so much an adjustment as it is just data slowly filling in - or at least that's my thought. So, that fill-in would likely continue.

Distinction is going back and doing large adjustments from months ago (NJ's recent 1000 death data dump) vs. just standard lag where cases reported on any day generally occur within the two weeks prior, which is more what is happening in FL.

People don't want the truth. They want to make political arguments.

I'm afraid it will lead to split ends.

You ran into an emotionally driven drama queen fb person? No way.
