Trump’s campaign manager, Brad Parscale. He was head of digital in 2016. The adversarial Frontline interview with him is well worth taking the time to watch. He destroys the interviewer

>> That flattening happens every day about this time. <<

I’m not that stupid... As I’ve already written, it’s a flattening that’s been going on for a week, not just a part of a day.

On January 30, there were 785 cases outside Hubei. On February 5, there were 731.

>> Zimbabwe monitoring 700 potential exposures. Africa will not be able to deal with this virus. <<

LOL! If there’s one thing Africa knows how to do, sadly, it’s respond to highly contagious plagues. “Potential exposures” means nothing.

>> Wondering if you posted this in vanity... <<

Actually, yes.

>> Is your background epidemiology or infectious disease control? <<

Nope. Biology degree, but since then, I’m in Information Systems. Just a numbers guy who likes to spot trends in data.

>> With all due respect, you provided no sourcing—no links... <<

As stated, I get my data from Wikipedia, after having checked that their sources are what they say they are. I don’t even speak Chinese.

>> How are we to determine if your analysis is correct? <<

I have written nothing based on my own authority. I have posed questions based on data others have gathered. I have only stated my notions, and explained my reasoning for how I deduced them from the data I had.

>> Quarantines, stoppages of migrations and hygiene measures are the reasons for the lack of outbreak outside of China. <<

Yes. And the same is true WITHIN China. The stoppage of migration was stunning.

>> Because they have been climbing by the thousands in Hubei. Are you taking into consideration the available beds? <<

Did you even read what I wrote? Like that Hubei went from being less than 50% of cases to more than 80%, which means this outbreak is becoming more and more localized (very unusual for an epidemic).

Since you asked,

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_2019%E2%80%

As I write, they seem to be adding the new data for today, with only about 3,000 new cases INCLUDING Hubei, which would be the second straight sizeable decrease in the number of new infections.

>> All numbers based on trustworthy CCP numbers - we all know the Chinese would never deliberately lie, right? <<

A fairly absurd comment, given the headline, don’t you think: “Is Hubei revealed as China’s dirty little secret?” The original post itself is an attempt at guessing what China’s lie is.

We’ll see in the next two weeks.

Shutting the cities down HAS to help. They keep shutting more down.

And in other parts of the world we will see in six weeks. The west is at least that far behind.

Uh....no.

[PIF]

sarcasm is not your forte it seems.

[dangus]

Misdirected sarcasm... you seemed to be criticizing me for relying on Chinese numbers.
