First paragraph should have been at the end. America first, after all. 

Eh, if he had pulled his negative ads like Biden did I'd agree. Since he didn't, I'm not going to condemn a proxy attack.

    Welp, it finally happened. I snapped in public today. I went into work for a bit this morning because I’m trying to figure out the safest way to host physicians we are recruiting given our CV-19 sit

  • I don't really know what to say anymore tbh. What happened last night is hard to put into words for anyone who hasn't worked in a hospital healthcare setting. Just unreal. Everyone is getting fucked.

Dr Fauci at the close of that excerpt:

I’m picturing Charles Grodin:” Get out! Get out while you still can.”

 

What a position he’s in here. At least they took the prohibition off him for interviews, but Atlas (the brain MRI guy) is dangerous.

Texas is currently 18 per capita in US and US is 10 per capita in World. Both continue a steady climb

Holy cow.  Texas is underreporting Covid-19 deaths by 42%?  Probably more, since that article stopped reporting data in late summer.  Greg Abbott, fuck that guy.

You inability to understand the written word is apparently not limited to my writing.

What good would it do for me to explain it to you?  Your post was not accurate. Texas is not under counting deaths by 42%. Unsurprisingly, you miss the point of the article. 

Surly, when an evil, but famous/powerful person has misfortune: "DO NOT WISH BAD THINGS ON PEOPLE!"

Surly, when someone yells at a dog on video: "I HOPE SOMEONE DISEMBOWELS THEM AND SETS THEM ON FIRE WHILE THEY ARE STILL ALIVE!"

You know what I meant. The US per capita is climbing compared to other countries. Meaning while we are at #10 now, we will be #9 soon, and so on. 

My point being maybe everyone should continue to wear a mask. Nice graph though 
 

 

I agree, wear a mask you fucking heathens. It should not require scare mongering of the statistics to convince one to do so.

Oh, fuck off.  The point of the article was that Texas' "gap" in reporting is huge when comparing official numbers to death certificates.  Blaming that on normal lag is bullshit.  You know this.

So you stand by your post that Texas is under counting deaths by 42% or no?

It's under-reporting them by an inexcusable amount.  (I don't know if this has been rectified.)

You're a data guy -- doesn't the fact that by August the actual death toll was 70% higher than the reported death toll bother you?

I understand data lag in mortality reporting. The mortality data I have used from the NDI is actually lagged 12+ months until it is considered stable. It is not me that is missing the point. We are not undercounting deaths by 42%.

Right Jimmy.  It is me that has problems with the written word...

Underreporting is not undercounting.  WTF?

Did the article not contrast Texas to California, New York, Florida and other hard hit states in terms of reporting gap?  Did Texas not fare considerably worse in that regard?

I'm honestly baffled as to why you're tilting at this particular windmill.  What did YOU think the point of the article was?

Would love to hear why you seem to be OK with the actual death count in late summer being 70% higher than the official "reported" death count.  Do I have this wrong?

I believe the article cited something like a 6% differential for New York at the peak of their lag.  Is there a good explanation, besides intentionally slow-reporting the data, for New York's reported death count to be so much closer to current than Texas' version?

Its a good thing Christie is so physically fit. He will be fine. 

@Anastasis I know we are all shitty and pissy (and dare I say Surly?) watching this awful game. That said, telling someone they are wrong and have no reading comprehension while not saying why is bad form. Exceptions certainly apply with clear trolls. I am sure you have history with jimmyjazz but I think you would probably agree that he's not a troll, just a misguided Cardinals fan.

Jimmy self admittedly struggles with reading comprehension. He blames this deficiency on others. When asked to point out the exact nature of his struggles, he punts. But tell me about bad form.

Speaking of masks, is anyone in the stands at the Georgia Auburn game wearing one?

If we're lucky... and if Darwin was right.... No.

So the White House doc lied to us yesterday when he said POTUS had not received supplemental oxygen either Satuday or Friday.  Today he admits he administered oxygen on Friday.

I am shocked.  Shocked, I tell you.

Oh, and monitoring of cardiac, liver and kidney functions demonstrates "continued normal findings or improving findings".

This is code language for "at some point he has had abnormal cardiac, liver, or kidney functions".

These fuckers are just throwing out doublespeak and expecting us to buy it.

This is a good BBC article

It's a story of Tony Vargas (a Nebraska State Senator), his father who died of Covid, and Tony's fight to get legislation requiring meat packing plants to adhere to CDC guidelines.  

Tony is is one of my favorite politicians.  

It probably could have expanded on this a bit:

Quote

Hours later, after the final gavel had fallen, after the Governor had come to the dais to praise the legislators for passing an abortion method ban and a property tax relief bill, Vargas arrived downstairs in his office. 

In a special session which was called to deal with the COVID health crisis, the Unicameral passed two major bills: 1) property tax "relief", which will further reduce revenue as the government is having to pull back services, and 2) an abortion bill that restricts what types of abortions are allowed in the second trimester, ultimately requiring women to give birth to a second trimester fetus even if the pregnancy is having medical concerns.  Rather than doing anything to deal with COVID, they passed red-meat bills in preparation of the up coming election.  

 

Just a reminder - the United States should be leading the world with the amount of wealth we have generated and efficiency we have attained.

Recommend the opinion piece, but not if you want to feel all that happy.

Yep. As many of us have been saying. We’re not HEADED for collapse. We’re there. It’s happened. Now, we’re dealing with the effects.

Just a reminder - the United States should be leading the world with the amount of wealth we have generated and efficiency we have attained.

That’s because NZ is a functioning nation state. We are not. We’re a shithole oligarchy with a big-ass military.

What does the Nobel Committee announcement for the prize in Physics have to do with COVID? The first 1:13 of this video was nice in the way he addressed the changes they've had to make due to the pandemic. Feel free to watch the whole video it's about 22 minutes, but the first minute was refreshing compared to the way some folks treat the topic.  The Live portion has ended, but if you click it takes you to the video. Congrats to the winners.
