^^^ there’s uptick is case rates in all 5 Tahoe-area counties.


This is a pretty useful, well done, and straight forward graphical presentation:

Thank you. I was kinda curious how Canada managed to move everyone away from the border so well.

But it was worth repeating.

That is it this year. It wouldn't surprise me if the societal cost of the flu this year is less than all costs of vaccination. Likelihood of exposure should be a century low given recent infection rates and probable social distancing through most (maybe all) of the flu season. (Should be--obviously not a certainty.) These are the conditions where the rational/selfish argument against vaccines starts to entice a few people.

What? You think Trump is going to stop having superspreader rallies just because he isn't president any more? You'll be able to get flu and covid and the clap all at the same event.

The clap too? That's it, I'm going!

Sarcasm doesn't work the same online. Use italics or /s

Idiots

I thought it worked pretty well. I particularly like posts where I can't tell if it's sarcastic or not and I'm afraid to respond for fear of showing how stupid I am (as if everyone doesn't already know).

This is a huge misrepresentation.

That map only gives the total per province in Canada vs by county in the US.

For sure the infection rate is lower in Canada than most parts of the US, but right now it's not at dramatic as most of us Canadians would like to believe.

I thought we were talking about the rocky mountains
Must be a Canadian that did that map. If it was an American they wouldn't have bothered showing Canada at all. Probably not even the outline.

Danno, you are one of the best copy-pasters on this forum, please don't let this get you down.

I would like to see the link to the journal articles around that cool graphic thing we posted. I had not specifically heard about some of those things, like the strategy for teaching of vacating the room every hour and airing it out.

Personally, I’ve had to sometimes do that when I’ve had too much milk.

Oh fuck I hadn't even thought about that. Of course he won't stop. That's not good.

Yes! The highest form of the art is when you just can't tell.

A $265 million public campaign to “defeat despair” around the coronavirus was planned partly around the politically tinged theme that “helping the president will help the country” - but this fell apart when they couldn’t find any celebrities that met their criteria of not having supported gay rights or same-sex marriage. The planned campaign also was to exclude any celebrities who had publicly disparaged the president.

Ultimately, the campaign collapsed in late September amid recriminations and investigation.

The investigation accuses the secretary of health and human services of “a cover-up to conceal the Trump administration’s misuse of hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars for partisan political purposes ahead of the upcoming election.”

Seems like a good way to burn through $265 million dollars.

I woulda told them for free that this was gonna go nowhere unless they wanted Kid Rock and Lil Wayne to be the ones reassuring Americans that the 90,000 new infections per day is nothing to despair about.

This guy Caputo is going to jail.

Seems like pretty minor offenses compared to everything else that's happened in the last 5 years. It'll be a while before they get around to him.
