The swamp has never been murkier.

Didn't this company need capital injection to increase their production? If so, investing in it was good for the country. Or would you rather see fewer PPE produced by this company?

“Capitalism is the astonishing belief that the nastiest motives of the nastiest men somehow or other work for the best results in the best of all possible worlds."

Guess which economist said this? (It's not Krugman.)

It’s academic, since we’ll continue to get information from other countries. It’s not going well for the “herd immunity” faction.

The people thinking that other countries don’t affect us are the first to be surprised that anti-virus supplies don’t arrive on time.

according to Nate Silver, 40-50% of NY state tests are coming back positive.

mixed blessing

I have no view in this discussion other than *hoping* we all have this thing already.

For those who love disparaging polling. Biden led virtually the whole way and he won the nomination. Another victory for polling.

you can only ignore polling for so long. Yes, polling was wrong in 3-4 states in 2016. Yes polling has been right in almost every other race.

Tiny will never agree to a debate with Biden. He will run scared.

Wanna bet on that? You veered into ?pole territory.

The only thing we can more or less reliably count are the deaths, even though we know some people are dying at home and it will take time to determine the cause and include them in the stats. IMO, testing and rates of positives are not meaningful because there is no comparable basis. We would need to know under what circumstances testing is being conducted and the selection criteria. It could be that in NY more tests are now available and testing is being more easily accessible by people showing even mild symptoms, and if that is the case then I would expect rate of positives to be diluted. We need to see the number of deaths flatten out and start declining.

Yep. Here are all states with historical data.

So has Congress not impeached yet?

Of course the biggest problem with the numbers is that it doesn’t actually stop the virus, it’s purely informative. We’re really doing very little followup after testing to contain the spread. We’re not even making much effort to acquire supplies.

What happened in GA?

Deaths per day went:

3/31: 24

4/1: 18

4/2: 24

4/3: 21

4/4: 17

4/5: 10

4/6: 18

4/7: 100

Positives (approx):

3/31: 1100

4/1: 700

4/2: 700

4/3: 500

4/4: 300

4/5: 500

4/6: 650

4/7: 1500

Went from 229 deaths to 329 deaths in a day.

You never got him removed from office and Dementia Joe will NEVER be POTUS.

The will be debates in the fall and Fatpole is a nutjob for making such a ridiculous statement.

Sanders took a month or two too long to drop out but at least he finally did the right thing for the nation.

Biden's 6 point lead vs trump has been consistent - the mob boss president has never really been able to get aboe 44% of the electorate to support him - as long as that stays the same we should be rid of him and his crime family in 9 months.

Keep dreaming.

If the debate is in Kansas City, they'll both be stumped.

data reporting is not smooth...even nations with huge central gpv't like france have crazy swings. based on things you would not be able to guess.

We can't really believe the data on a day to day basis...but we can look for trends.

I’m commenting on the legality of this.

“It is illegal for Congress to trade based on non-public information gathered during their official duties”

As for your quote, couldn’t care less who said it.

Well played, wonderful trollage.

Also if Trump falls on the floor he won’t be able to get back up.

Creepy to quote economists during a pandemic.

Also, I’m guessing all the number crunchers aren’t on the front lines as essential workers, being exposed themselves. They’ve never watched anyone die, or maybe even been to an emergency room.

Not able to say yet where we are on the herd immunity issue.

The IHME model keeps dropping the expected death toll by large amounts...several reasons for that but one could be that herd immunity is starting to take hold in densely populated areas.

Oh Rigged, poor Rigged,

Biden is so lucky because as more information come out, Trump will be the most hated man in america. He was notified about corona concerns in NOVEMBER and he did nothing. Trump and his nothing to work about here and his all under control and his corona hoax and his no deaths in America and his no testing shortage and his lets states fight it out for supplies and it goes on and on.I

Trump did nothing and he tanked our economy.

If only he had prepared us for this.

Biden is a weak candidate but he will have no trouble with this clown.
