jdubya - I didn't read it as political, but figured from responses there was some kind of leakage from DC. As you said, it obviously got steered that way. BRC's "the president has no business pushing an unproven drug from the White House podium...." - I'd say it kind of toes the line, but I get how the post in itself isn't political... it's about "leadership" and I assume talking about the difference between a leader and a doctor recommending an unproven drug.... OTOH, it can also easily be steered that direction. LiveSteam's Dr. Deepstate -- I had to google that, but yeah, obviously DC. I really don't get why it's so ****ing hard for people. |

Anyways...
Anything to take away from today’s new cases/deaths compared to the last few days? Doesn’t seem like we have deviated much, of any, from the totals over the last few days.... Could this be the beginning of the curve flattening out? |

That would be a welcome sight. But didn't this happen last Sunday with the numbers, as well? *not jinxing*

I've posted this before, but here's this year's flu season: As you can see, it's not a pretty curve. But trends can be seen. And pretty much every year looks like this. I'm a freak, so I follow it every year. And that's with no mitigation. |

You are completely contradictory. Either you believe it was a threat and we should be worried about it on that date or you don’t. He said it “wasn’t a major threat and people shouldn’t be worried right now.” You responded he was right. Yet you believe preventative measures on that day were needed. So you seem to disagree with him because if he was right then he would have started talking about the need to take preventative measures. So was he right then or are you right that preventative measures were needed then? This is all moot anyways because just based on his statement, even with the “right now” qualifier you are hanging on to, he was wrong based on what we now know. It was obviously a threat at that time and we should have started worrying about it then. |

We start with doom and gloom hour. We then get pissed with one another for a little bit. (Usually something political is brought up, but it's policed pretty well by the regulars in here) Something optimistic is shared. We discuss theraputics and such BRC says something about ventilators. Sometimes at this point Austin Chief shows up and it turns into a bloodbath for a while. I stand back and don't dare get involved. We all kind of lighten up for a while. I guess because it's lunch time. Afternoon reports come out and we're back to doom and gloom. Deberg or someone else random posts a random tweet that's kind of funny and takes our minds off doom and gloom. The President has his daily press briefing and everyone gets kinda pissy again. (More borderline political stuff pops up, but again, it's usually policed pretty well) Demonpenz pops in and says something I have to read 3 or 4 times to try and figure out what he means. I assume people start drinking because the mood lightens. We discuss daily numbers and hope for a better outcome tomorrow. End |
