Spain and the Netherlands are going ballistic right now.

As for the numbers, you come here and learn all about them,
but seem to think no one else does. Why is that?

You guys read all sorts of articles from the same media
sources that lie to you day in and day out, but when it comes
to COVID-19, you just know they have to be telling the truth.
Why is that?

I don’t look at these numbers and think they are dead on
target. I don’t think anyone else does either. At
least here we can discuss them, look at other reports
and come to our own conclusions.

If I don’t post them here, do you think folks will never
see them? People go Johns Hopkins and World-o-Meters all
the time. What’s the point of acting like they don’t
exist?

Every epidemic has numbers issues similar to the ones we’re
seeing right now with COVID-19, but when referencing past
epidemics, those numbers are seen as pure as the driven
snow. Why is that?

Do you think our hospitals didn’t get extra payouts for
the serious epidemics of the past?

One day it’s reported that Florida test centers are only
reporting out the positives. I check out the percentage
of overall positive test results, and find that Florida
was not out of line with the other states. If they had only
reported out positives, they would have been showing very
high positive percentage numbers. They weren’t.

New York state was reported to be double counting cases.
I looked at their case numbers compared to the top state.
It’s very doubtful they are double counting cases en mass.
It’s just another sensational headline with new cases.
They were somewhere in the 21-22% range compared to that
top state.

The media is contributing too the total chaos in the
public domain today. They want people unsettled. It helps
make them vulnerable to complaints against Trump, that
when Obama was president, everything was peachy, but
now under Trump they aren’t.

It is what it is.

It's not the numbers that you post, it's the numbers that you don't, which is why people overstate their risk of getting Covid by a factor of 50 or more. It's what scares the BeJesus out of people while the data that shows they have a better chance of getting hit by a car go ignored. Why don't you post the age breakdown of Covid deaths, or where those deaths are occurring?

By the way I normally ignore your crap posts but 2 panic posts just happened to be at the top of the list when I popped in and I looked to see if you had anything about Nashville, which you don't. I'll go back to ignoring your crap posts after this.

While I'm here, 1 person drowned in my town this summer. Given my earlier post can you figure out how many died from the Wuhan Flu, or do you need to consult a table first?
