I’m the least racist person. It’s so dark. Lol.

Haven’t really tracked the whole thing, but this moderator is about 100000x better than the last.

I took that Biden one. I’ll pocket the 10% and roll it into some last minute state bets before Election Day.
The comments section is worth the price of admission alone.

So first peak driven by Northeast, second peak by South and West, 3rd by Midwest (with modest contribution from south and west).

My head and shoulders prediction is looking more like siamese twin heads.
Thanks for the regional chart. This is a much better way to look at the trends. Midwest is shitting all over everything right now.

Now if it would only stop people from dying, we would be in business.

The do nothing fed plan might be failing a tad. Ugly winter inbound
Anyone seen a daily new case chart like this, but with break out by census region or something similar?

Oh, absolutely. I think there's a lot of waste all over our government, not just the military -- just like there is a lot of waste in private enterprises. Our government could almost certainly provide more value to Americans for substantially less tax revenue. To narrow this to the military, Americans (and American interests) could be made even more secure for less total cost.
Great. I don't have any disagreement.

"Trim the fat" is a terrible approach to reducing waste in private enterprises. What makes you think it would work for our government?
Don't get twisted up about three words. Do you agree that we can trim military spending?

Small government is meaningless in a nation where the annual military budget hovers around $800 billion regardless of the party in power.
Cooter is right. "Small government" is just bitching about taxes.
Start with an immediate 25% haircut. 10 years to trim another 25%. And none of the bullshit DC math, real year over year cuts. We can quibble about the actual numbers, but those numbers would leave us spending approximately 40% more than #2 (China). Over that 10 year span redeploy the reduced military spending into various infrastructure jobs programs. The military is mostly a job program as it is anyways. Trim the fat, focus the military mission, redeploy a big cut to domestic needs rather than policing the brown people of the world and essentially subsidizing the domestic programs of other wealthy nations.
If the military is your biggest obstacle, let's address that one first.
Then we can talk about all the other bloat and waste and opportunity to streamline at the federal level.

The fender flares are a bit too big in my opinion, but I like the concept. Something more sub-tlely scaled would have been prettier. Their scale, and proportion seem a bit cartoonish.
I'm fine with the rear flares but the front flares need to be dialed back just a bit imo.

MRNA hits last patient in.
Weeks away from a potential EUA application, Moderna announced they have completed enrollment in their 30,000-person Phase III Covid-19 vaccine trial, with over a third of volunteers non-white and a quarter over the age of 65.
The announcement caps what has been the most closely-watched recruitment race in the history of drug development, as Pfizer and Moderna rushed to get enough volunteers to prove whether or not experimental vaccines could actually protect people from contracting Covid-19. Pfizer reached that mark on Sept. 15. Moderna said around the same time that they would slow down enrollment to ensure they enrolled enough participants from minority and at-risk groups.

It flows both ways and is an all around clusterfuck. DSHS has to sort and assign the cases for people who test positive in counties that they don't live in because the counties wouldn't find out about those cases otherwise. Counties do keep track of their own cases also, but DSHS adds or subtracts from that number when they get around to processing the new cases.
LOL. Of course.

There is apparently some problem with the DSHS Region 7 case database right now and they are limited on what new data they can send to the counties until it gets fixed. I'm not sure how accurate the new case numbers are right now with that going on.
Wouldn't the case numbers flow the opposite direction? Counties push up counts to state region level? I don't know, was just how I assume the reporting would flow.

Well....ain't that shitty.
Haven't dug into Brazil's reports lately, but there has to be some shift in the underlying demographics/risk factors for the cases for us, or some other factors involved, to be seeing this spike in new admits without corresponding spike in cases. Thoughts @BrazilHorn?

In June/July we went from roughly same place we are today (mid stage 2) to low end of stage 5 in ~ 25 days. Happy Thanksgiving everybody.

New ATX cases @ 69, new admits continuing the trend highlighted upthread. We're going the wrong fucking direction in a hurry with the new admits.

Gah, I tire of the constant machinations trying to justify Trump's business dealings.
I think that if we cut through the right out nonsense (OMG Trump funneled 17MM through an undisclosed chinese bank account while President!!!), and stuck to the actual facts it would help. The shit trump actually does in real life is enough to identify the ethical challenges as they relate to leading the executive branch, even when they are disclosed "by the book". There is really no need to huff the twitter nonsense to get there.

Someone in the Brazilian AZN vax trial died. Safety board did not halt or pause the study, suggesting it was probably someone assigned to placebo.
