So us dummies can call it by it's street name, "SWAG" Scientific Wild Ass Guess".
Watch out, looking down your nose like that can cause a brain bleed out. That is a process familiar to people skilled in said discipline.
SWAG is not a bad name for it, as it mostly amounts to that. Difference is that the SWAG is successively adjusted as new data comes in.
Yes, thank you, GoDuke. That was exactly what I meant.
Lovely day for yardwork here, and I hope you are the same!
As always, President Trump can read the stitches on the fastball while the Media (most likely willingly) are left slack-jawed and dumbfounded.
A tad hot but lots of yard work to be done for sure!
Half my neighborhood is working on their lawns, and the other have is building things in their driveways. So many things to be done before it rains again.
He gets things done “at the Speed of Trump!!!”
Oh no, Trump might be correct? Okay, Dems, what’s the next plan to take down President Trump? War with the Romulans? You are failing! Which to Americans, that is great, but to you AntiAmerican jackasses it’s bad...
It looks like Worldometers.info is matching up to the Johns Hopkins data except for a few states. One in particular is Louisiana, where Worldometers has slight higher counts. They might be using secondary sites that are being updated more frequently. I would expect the counts to be very similar at the end of the day (I wonder if they're using GMT or EDT for the day cutoff for the US).
You are joking right?
Anybody ought to be able to make a mask or use a bandana, if so motivated. My ski mask would do, if I felt it warranted
I use the Worldometer stats. Not sure if their days ends at 00:00 GMT or EST. Either way, it's a 24 hour day measure.
I would also add that we are 13 days into the mitigation. COVID-19 infected people on average die about 20 days after infection. We'll see what happens, but no way will it be even close to 1000.
To force or get voting via the internet from your home and then the roadmap to massive cheating is wide open and TRUMP loses...that’s the endgame to this madness and they have to keep it to front of everyone thought process continually until then so there will be the loud and constant clamor for it and repubs will give in as they always do - stupid!
WE CAN’T LET THAT HAPPEN - Marital Law and NO ELECTION is better than that!
It is encouraging to me to realize the old saying about the “lie getting around half the world before truth comes out” is becoming a misnomer with today’s technology. I’m so thankful to watch things live or, better yet, on CSPAN with no narratives, than having to depend on MSM telling me what to think.
I agree...parts of country will open...parts won’t (density)...also...older and immune compromised will also be advised to stay in quarantine. ..imho
Very sensible at this point.
In my county in CA schools are now closed til May 3.
Yeah...except it means WE won’t be going “out” for probably 6 months....aaaggghhh
Get a grip.
And even if we did have that number, it would be less damage to our lives and the future of our kids than is being done by this shutdown.
The “economy” is you and me and our kids and our future.
As long as the number of deaths per day keep increasing, much of the country will remain shut down. The US went from 268 deaths on Thursday to 410 deaths on Friday (yesterday). For the sake of counting for the world statistics, these are as of 00:00 GMT (20:00 EDT). Current count for today is 292 (known). Pro-rated for four more hours (GMT) would put the US at 350, but these counts may not be the most up to date. As it is, it doesn’t appear we are flattening the curve just yet, but it also doesn’t seem like we are exponentially spiking.
