funny how not a SINGLE covid case has been linked to the Biden Rioters..
makes you wonder...
Thanks to the Sturgis attendees for taking a giant step for us toward herd immunity. We will forever be indebted to you all.
These kinds of computer models have a whole lotta unknown factors and have error bands through which you could throw Michael Moore unharmed; and so the programmer/modeler will substitute the unknowns with...ASSUMPTIONS. And, you guessed it, the ASSUMPTIONS drive the result.
You mean the Glo_bull warming al_gore_rithm.
All the large group spreading research is crap. The reality is this is the same as the Kevin Bacon game. Any large group can be traced to a person somewhere who had the virus. But its not that the virus was caused by the group. Or that the group even spread the virus. Its just mathematically extremely likely that any two large groups intersect or intersect with one or two points of separation.
The same is true for a party at a college. if 25 people go to a party at a college and 15 people at the college come down with the virus the random factor formula will produce a connection, especially if you consider one or two points of separation. The larger the student population the lower the intersection. But the larger the the number of people each party member and virus victim was in contact with.
Virus likes bikers, hates insurrectionists and anarchists
HUGE BS where are the 20% numbers for protesting and RIOTING ????
Shull bit senses tingling.
Yeah, well, some Chinaman is responsible for 100% of the cases in the entire world.
As a programmer myself, yes if I want a fake result I put it inside the code so no matter what comes in (even if valid data) I still get exactly the output that I want:-)
Fake Science
Rule of thumb: any article referring to one thing being ‘linked to’ means that there was junk science done where they made some guesses, cherry picked some data and they are now publishing as if it were scientific fact.
I actually read the paper. Their methodology is reasonabley sound if the base data, cell phone use, is correct and complete.
“We document three key results. First, using anonymized smartphone data from
SafeGraph, Inc., we demonstrate that non-resident cell phone pings rose in the census block
groups where the Sturgis events look place over the 10-day period of the rally relative to other
census block groups within South Dakota and in border states to South Dakota.”
The cell data was traced to the areas where the participants came from and tied that to CDC records of those areas. I the only real issue is, if folks don’t care if they were infected, why should anyone else.....other than the people who they are around. If you know someone is getting back from Sturgis, you don’t need some study to tell you to be careful around them.
Of course the spikes in the target areas could be from other issues, but the researches simply assume it is from Sturgis.
“Anytime a large group (OF CONSERVATIVES) gathers they’re going to make an issue about Covid”.
Just thought it needed the required correction; it seems there is never a Covid issue with Burn, Loot, Murder or Anteefa mobs in the streets.
Let’s see the science! (Psudo-science).
Really; that one gathering caused soooo many COVID infections, but riots across the country for weeks on end, not so much?
Surely, they must be joking.
Babylon Bee??
Researchers from the Center for Health Economics & Policy Studies are clearly full of [blank].
LIES. It’s funny how there are no “studies” linking the Rona to Portland riots.
I am never turning on my phone when crossing a state boundary ever again.
Well of course. All the blm protests and riots do not spread the virus. But any conservative type of gathering does.
