COVID-19

I'm not sure that's a legit graph. I went to the address in the upper left and the CDC isn't currently publishing a graph like that. A quick google shows that the graph seems to be only posted at forums with discussions like this.

This one? No, this ones legit.

...Did it look like this?

I was about to post this same thing! Ha. The Theranos story is great btw...if you like psychos.

It's even got math at the bottom right! How could math be wrong?!

Oh man, you’re totally right! No one would be skydiving right now. It’s a non-essential activity! What was I thinking posting that??

(It’s called satire.)

You must be the Delta guy yelling at people on guard all the time.

Just joking...(but seriously, do you work there?)

Grow up.

...and economic results are in for March, Retail sales down 9%, clothing and accessories down over 50%. Ouch. Consumer Spending only makes up ~70% of GDP. Anyone see these protests in Lansing, MI and in Raleigh, NC?

Apparently the CDC is in the early stages of ramping up contract tracing efforts at the federal level. If you've been exposed to an infected individual and meet certain criteria, expect to receive a voice-mail like this in the coming weeks.

Could be a game changer.

FIFY

This thread has really gone off the rails....

Unfortunately when the crazy Trumper run out of arguments, they spam memes.

I have so many people on ignore because of their insistence on being assholes, that when things turn political, I see the indignant side without the trolls. Kind of nice.

I did get a laugh out of the "Woke" meme though. I hate that expression so much; it's not only grammatically incorrect, it's pretentious bullshit.

I have 2 people on ignore and am close to adding more.

I don't have as many on ignore as you might think. Just enough to take the edge off the bullshit. This isn't a survivalist forum- we can rib each other and still debate issues without being a bunch of dickheads.

Although, I keep reading some of the bigger personalities on here purely for entertainment value.

I am not a big math guy. Only had one basic stats course in college. I have studied economics more than epidemiology or stats. I know human behavior pretty well too. I absolutley guarantee you that the COVID death numbers are inflated. Some by accident I am sure. But there are incentives to record deaths as COVID. So, humans being human, they will respond to incentives. Nothing mysterious or controversial about it.

I get that argument, but it is going to take some data to back it up.

Oh, and yeah I got a D in stats in college. It was my worst grade.

Grow up.

Aye aye, Captain!

But seriously, I appreciate your attempts to limit my Internet Civil Rights. Before you you put me on ignore, allow me to wish you good luck on your quest to get to the mainline. You may need it.

Sorry this isn’t the Liberal/Democrat/Anti-Trump/whatever echo chamber you were hoping for bruh.

It will be a long time before you get the data, as in how many. Even then, you will never know for sure. People will be buried and incinerated. But it is inconcievable that inflation is happening. Way to many incentives. Any economist or social scientist will admit that. Anyone that denies there is inflation is likely a beneficiary of the incentives.
