I feel qualified to disparage OH,NY, NJ and the SC,NC & GA triangle ;)

Thanks for the link.

You're welcome. I was trying to find you something better, but alas that is the best I could find at that time. If I run across something really nerdy, I'll post it for you.

what is the probability the a state is no longer able to sustain the epidemic?

It's really darn high if it's a state full of nuts like Texas. [I get to disparage Texas because I live in it.] ;)

It'll come to you on the bus home. Heh.

Bus!? I haven't ridden a bus since I was a teenager in high school heading to cheer at a varsity football championship game.
We lost, __________ <---- insert expletive here! ;)

Not nowadays. But, perhaps, after Pandemic I, it will return.

I used to go every year for the airshow and drinks. :)

Say...do you have my email address? If so, would you email me when you have a moment? I have a coupla questions to ask you to refine my understanding. And, as Stone Cold Steve Austin would say, "Hell, yeah" Im'a give blogging a shot once I'm through my upcoming spinal fusion surgery.

And, once again, way to keep cranking out superior product!

Trump would be forever known as the “Roach Whisperer”... and no longer would it have to do with how crappy his properties are kept!

I'd pick Deplorable Wisperer instead, but to keep it real it probably should be Deplorable SHOUTER or mayhaps Deplorable's Tweeter.

Honestly, folks, this material just writes itself - woot!

But, you're wrong, anyways. Because, there is a time and place for [bleeping] words. Unfortunately, many here don't understand that particular discretion or distinction.

Now, you can count yourself among those who do.

Thank you, Dearheart!

IMO you, Elizabeth Miller, are the conscience of Weigantia, and I think of you when I'm sooo tempted to really unload (in a non-classy/counterproductive manner.) Don't worry I won't tell the others (they'll take advantage of you!) but you're a good influence on me.

It'd be kinda cool to meet you someday. Do they still have the CNE nowadays?

So we have a couple of snakes here in the comments section, their behavior is utterly predictable and never imaginative or interesting. Now one of these is has with rattles that only play one tune and folks finally got tired of his annoying behavior and threw him back into the bushes, hopefully to learn not to play with people again. However folks seem memorized by the other snake and continue to taunt him and watch him strike at thin air over and over again. I am confounded why anyone thinks this is fun?

First off, doesn't the interwebs call them Trolls rather than snakes?

Michale is at least a reasonably intelligent humanoid, albeit one lost in the feverswamps of Faux News, OAN, Epoch Times and maybe even some outliers such as Breitbart and/or perhaps even QAnon. And one who ducks hard questions/reality via changing or ignoring the issue(s) at hand. "Whataboutism" and stuff: for example, "Obama was worse -- he killed 12,000 blah blah blah."

But yeah, it gets old reading troll excrement from a guy who's got a mancrush on Cheetogod. Like, how does what any past president did somehow excuse the gross incompetance of the president that we have now? And who cares if the Democratic Party was pro slavery 150 fucking years ago? [note: back then white folks in the Party of Lincoln looked down on blacks as much as did white Democrats, and therefore allowed the establishment of Jim Crow laws.]

BTW, Michale what are your so-called "news sources?"
I'd like to know where you're cutting and pasting the often nonsensical ALL CAPS stuff you post.

Hah! Now that's funny!

Thanks for the link... that is a genuinely useful site. The parsing features are excellent. My only criticism is the error bars - I think one-tailed would be more appropriate...what is the probability the a state is no longer able to sustain the epidemic?

Given the magnitude of the error bars I don't think there is enough data to support my contour map concept.

It'll come to you on the bus home. Heh.

Quick note: those individuals in Seattle taking over the streets and causing chaos are not Democrats... they would spit in your face for even suggesting that they were! No, they are Anarchists. Most of the time we refer to them as “homeless” or “fry cooks”, but anytime there is anything to protest, these folks shed their protective disguises to reveal the truly disgusting cockroaches that are underneath. They have been constantly updating their manifestos since the last protests they infected to include even more of their rambling incoherent conjecture.

Oh my God, could it be that this was his destiny the whole time! Could Donald Trump’s sole purpose for being made president be so he could speak to Seattle’s Anarchists — a group that rambles as incoherently about things that they have no true understanding of about as much as Trump does — in order to communicate a peace accord with them?!?! Granted, none of us will understand what they agree to if they do, but it still might deescalate things enough for them to retake their human forms until the next big protest. Trump would be forever known as the “Roach Whisperer”... and no longer would it have to do with how crappy his properties are kept!

Because, there is a time and place for [bleeping] words. Unfortunately, many here don't understand that particular discretion or distinction.

I would wager they understand much more than you give them credit for but rather cannot fathom why you'd make yourself the judge and jury over that time and place. :)

My big bad. Sorry. Me, sensitive much? Well, not usually. :)

But, you're wrong, anyways. Because, there is a time and place for [bleeping] words. Unfortunately, many here don't understand that particular discretion or distinction.

Now, you can count yourself among those who do.

WHAT ARE YOU APOLOGIZING TO ME FOR!?

I mean, don't you dare even hint at implying that I would not use the word 'racist', least of all, "not casually" or be upset by such use.

If you are apologizing as above, you have me pegged all wrong. DON'T DO IT AGAIN.

When I was a small boy kid would catch a rattlesnake and play with it. now the snake would rattle and strike and the kids would yell and jump and I found this to be exciting and fun at first. however I soon tired of the game, cause the outcome was so predictable, the snake always died and the kids never got bit.

However folks seem memorized by the other snake and continue to taunt him and watch him strike at thin air over and over again. I am confounded why anyone thinks this is fun?

There, now … doesn't that look better? And, it's easier to read, too. :)

If you don't think it's fun, then you may not be playing the game right

I do not use the word " racist" casually. Sure, it's fun (sorry, Elizabeth. Um...to be honest, not all that sorry) to tell each other to [bleep] off. And to use terms like "Trumpanzee," "Odumbo," "Dimocrats" and "Repugs."

But, Dude.

Your use of these phrases makes me, for the first time, wonder if you got a little racism in you. Whaddup wit dat?

That aside, your notion that young black men

It's like saying that cops want to die on the job so they can be martyrs and their families can win the sympathy lottery.

Yeesh!

Here's your chance to persuade. Let's see what you got

that question kind-of ignores the whole concept. systemic oppression isn't a single instance, it's a system. and by "system" i mean a complex interaction of persons and events. it's not necessarily the individual people who are racist, it's the way the whole system is set up. for example, health insurance for older people costs employers more, so companies are likelier to think of reasons to lay off older employees to avoid paying their healthcare costs.

systemic racism works the same way.

SILENCE GIVES ASSENT.....

No. Just because no one bothers to respond to your empty boasting/OAN-style pro-Trump sillynews doesn't mean anyone assents.

Sorry, Guysic, but you simply aren't the center of the universe in this Comments section. At least some of us simply scroll through your posts without bothering to read them.

Yet, you are strangely silent when it's Democrat Antifa terrorists who are the ones doing the ARMED checkpoints and the extortions of small businesses...

If that is the case and what is really happening, then I am vehemently against it and call out the "Democrat Antifa terrorists" for the hoodlums and criminals they are.

BUT, you'll pardon me if I don't take everything you write as the gospel truth - not even close, my friend.

However, it will be back on the right track - and at a decidedly faster pace - once Biden is in the Oval.

I mean, what's with all of the bold print since you got back?

Unfortunately, for most of ya'all, ya'all wouldn't know the TRUTH (or the facts) if it came up and slapped ya silly!! :EYEROLL:

You got me thinking - which I admit is a mixed blessing.

Heh.

Ro is a clinal phenomenon - like temperature or elevation. What we need is graphical presentation on a contour map like you see on nightly weather reports.

Hmmmmmmmmmm.

The state outline renderings are just too arbitrary and don't give a sense of infection potentials that are driving outbreaks and recoveries.

Are not. <--- get it? R-naught

Okay. Let's start here and go from there:

https://rt.live/

“Cuomo Prime Time” was CNN’s most watched program in May, but finished No. 19 among all of cable news, behind 13 different Fox News and five MSNBC programs.

It must be so hard for Left Wingers.. Be so filled with hate and bigotry, they can't even THINK straight.. :D

CNN’s Chris Cuomo mocked for using Obama-era data to prove systemic racism impacts Trump-era economy

“[Systemic racism] is a fact that you see everywhere you look in black and white, the immediate proof is in the cabinet, where Trump has one black cabinet member and one black domestic policy advisor…let’s start with the economy,” Cuomo said as the on-screen data cited a 2016 Pew Research Center poll.

Yet, they were OBAMA ERA pictures!!

I mean, come on, people.. Most of you.... well, SOME of you have more than 2 brain cells to rub together...

If the media is constantly lying and constantly making mistakes like this, some of ya'all are intelligent enough to say, "Hmmmmmm Something's fishy here...."

Where is the justice for the innocent people killed in these riots! Capt. David Dorn killed and it was recorded live on Facebook Live! Where is the outrage!

Again... The Democrat Party disgusts me...

And, if you have a hankering, maybe you can give me your opinion on the Democrat Party Antifa Terrorists who are setting up armed checkpoints and extorting businesses in Seattle...

Would love to hear it... :D

Chris Beaty...

Patrick Underwood...

David Dorn...

Max Brewer...

I guess for Democrat Party terrorists only SOME black lives matter...

Sometimes.... OFT times, the Democrat Party really disgusts me..

This is one of those times...

Can you point to an instance of systemic oppression based on race???

Keeping in mind that it was President Trump who brought
down unemployment for black Americans to it's lowest levels...

EVER.....

Take your time... I'll be around for another hour or so... :D

That's not how I remember it.. But it was primarily Neil and I who were discussing it in the particular instance I am referring to.. And it was Neil who conceded that while it's not racism, it's definitely bigotry and we agreed at that point..

I am sure you are talking about a different instance.. It's been a topic of conversation frequently over the past 16 years, eh??.. :D

we continue to disagree about whether or not the definition is correct and/or up to date.

It's my understanding that 'racism' is defined as what ever President Trump says or does.. :D

"It's a small joke, sir."
"Very small, Ensign.."
-STAR TREK, The Trouble With Tribbles

:D

not entirely accurate. the consensus we reached was that the dictionary definition of racism was too narrow to include donald's proven behaviors. we continue to disagree about whether or not the definition is correct and/or up to date.

how timely then that merriam-webster has agreed to update its definition, at which point perhaps we can reopen our discussion.

Let ya'all catch up.. :D

A fish, the saying goes, rots from the head down. And no group has defended the rotted head of the nation’s top law enforcement agency more than the Democrats. Their selective outrage about police abuse doesn’t square with recent history; if anything, they have promoted a culture of lawlessness that undeniably has downstream consequences.

And THAT says it all...

The facts are simply UNEDNIABLE.....

OK, done with that one..

NEXT!!! :D

On the contrary, Democrats have defended it all while accusing Trump of “attacking law enforcement” for publicly exposing these rogue cops. In 2018, Senator Cory Booker (D-N.J.) called the firing of Andrew McCabe a “troubling event,” condemned Trump’s tweets about the disgraced lawman, and slammed Trump for “heckling and maligning law enforcement officers.” Booker now wants a national registry of police misconduct charges to “stop officers who accrue such large actions of misconduct, and then have nothing happen to them.”

The Democrat Party is up to it's eyeballs in illegal activities, extortion, attack innocent people and generally doing everything they accuse President Trump and the Republicans of...

When the GOP takes the House, as they are sure to do (based on that pandering to black Americans stunt that the Dumbocrats pulled.) it will be an all out open season on investigating Democrat so-called "leadership"...

Democrats ain't gonna know what hit them.. They be like Chris Tucker in RUSH HOUR

https://i.pinimg.com/736x/30/86/ab/3086ab5fa26d72a09d55cdbe91b7399b--rush-hour-funny-chris-tucker.jpg

:D

And they did it all with smiles on their faces because they know it’s highly likely they will get away with all of it.

The crimes of Democrat higher ups are well-documented and plentiful....

And the revelations of dirty tricks are going to become more and more plentiful as we near November...

By the the President Trump administration is done, Democrats won't be able to be elected county dog catcher...

You heard it here first... :D

Comey repeatedly lied directly to the president of the United States by insisting he was not under investigation when in fact, he was. After he was fired, Comey stole his own “memos” from the FBI—later determined to be a crime although no charges were filed—and leaked that information to the media.

Demcorats PROVE that they can't be trusted with the levers of power...

The do so time and time again..

Every aspect of the various investigations was rooted in bias; Trump and anyone in his orbit were discriminated against as members of the Republican Party—a form of political profiling that should be be as alarming as racial profiling.

Democrats need to be stopped from acquiring any more political power..

We see what they will do with it in the streets of Seattle..

The Trump-related victims of James Comey’s FBI may not be black, they were unfairly targeted nevertheless. It was not race that motivated their persecutors, nor was it any actual suspected wrongdoing. They were targeted because of their political views.

Democrat Party bigotry and hypocrisy at it's finest.. :eyeroll:

EVERYONE here would be LIVID with condemnation and screaming thru to the highest heavens if these had been white supremacists...

To be fair, it's likely that some of those are simply not online and/or are busy with life and haven't seen the blatant terrorism..

I am sure one or two of those listed are in that category..

But it's amazing how Weigantians have a fit of deaf, blind and dumb when their Democrat Party turns to terrorism..

It's simply uncanny...

But that must have been some other country, one that looked, remarkably, like this one.

Yep... If the Democrat Party has it's way, America.... The things that make America special and exceptional... Democrats Party's goal is to throw those things on the trash heap of history...

That is why President Trump's re-election is so critical... That is why, just like 2016, all the polls that say otherwise are useless...

Democrats fear pushing back too hard against BLM on police defunding, but they do see the political problem for their presidential candidate, Joe Biden. The Rev. Al Sharpton went out to reshape the message, saying BLM really didn't mean it. But they do mean it.

Of course, they mean it..

Which is why you have Democrat Party terrorists mounting an armed rebellion in Seattle...

Democrat so-called "leadership" {sic} really took a hit with that pandering stunt.. :D

Good...

Can't really blame her.. The hysterical Democrat Terroristic mob is frightening, to be sure...

NFL quarterback Drew Brees said his respect for the American flag wouldn't allow him to kneel during the national anthem. But he quickly caved. His wife publicly confessed her "sins." They beg forgiveness. As any student of the Maoist Cultural Revolution would tell you, they were broken in their struggle session.

Drew Brees is a class act.. His wife obviously bowed to the political pressure and caved her principles.. It's likely she's the business-person of the couple..

But Dree Brees spoke from the heart... Refreshing..

Liz,

You often speak to the "promise of America"...

Christianity teaches us that all of us are sinners, that repentance comes before forgiveness. But today's hard left is not about forgiveness. It is about power.

Yes, racism still exists. But applying sin upon an entire group based on skin color is antithetical to Christian teachings. And it is in direct opposition to the promise of America.

How is that "promise" working when Democrats try to economically enslave black Americans??

How is that "promise" working when Democrat terrorists have an ARMED insurrection and set up ARMED checkpoints and terrify citizens and extort small businesses??

I am sure, if these had been white supremacists, your indignation and righteous rage would be thru the roof...

Yet, you are strangely silent when it's Democrat Antifa terrorists who are the ones doing the ARMED checkpoints and the extortions of small businesses...

Where is that "promise" now??

And I am not just picking on you?? AndyGaus, JFC, JM From CT, JL, MC, JM, Victoria, Russ, etc etc...

EVERYONE here would be LIVID with condemnation and screaming thru to the highest heavens if these had been white supremacists...

But, because it's Democrats?? Because it's the terrorist wing of the Democrat Party???

Why is that??

Now, I'm sure I don't have to tell you that it is not at all uncommon in America for poor white trailer trash living in white ghettos to disparage the "others" like Martin's family living in a house in the Retreat at Twin Lakes, a gated community in Sanford, Florida.

I think jealousy is involved... oh, and hypocrisy and their complete and total lack of self-awareness.

So to recap: Poor white ghetto trailer trash enjoy disparaging the "others." It is the Trumpian opportunist right-wing identity politics known as "white grievance."

And even the mere suggestion this might be unfair, the slightest hint of resistance, can trigger accusations that could ruin careers, deny entrance to the professions, and drive nuance from the public square. And it is all by design.

This is simply going to DECIMATE the Democrat Party...

Come Nov, the Democrat Party is going to be a hollowed out husk.. A burned and destroyed shell of the Party that gave this country racism and the KKK...

It's going to be a joyous sight to behold...

It died the day we elected a black American as POTUS..

A black American which, incidentally, I voted for..

So, it would be kinda hard to call me a racist since I voted for a black American for President, eh?? :D

Still waiting for any FACTS that prove there is systemic/institutionalized racism beyond Affirmative Action here in the US...

I'll probably be waiting a long time, because the FACT is there IS no systemic/institutionalized racism here in the US...

It died the day we elected a black American as POTUS..

A black American which, incidentally, I voted for..

Today in the park there is no plaque, no bench and no monument, to paraphrase Toni Morrison, to memorialize the human lives brutalized there throughout much of the 19th century. After a hard-fought Civil War, the institution of chattel slavery was legally abolished as the U.S. nominally attempted to make racial violence a thing of the past. These days, in the public space situated across from the White House, one is likely to encounter instead an odd mix of office workers on lunch break and MAGA-hat-wearing tourists mingling around the hotelier’s former mansion, known as Decatur House.

And how is this relevant to today???

Well, I guess it could be that Democrats are still enslaving black Americans as they did back then..

And, it's STILL the GOP (in the guise of President Trump) who is the one that is at the forefront of HELPING black Americans..

So, yea.. I guess that is how it could be relevant to today's world...

Of course, the article offers NO FACTS to PROVE there is systemic racism..

Kinda like Weigantia.. :D

Michale please don't duck this question as you,

I am better there are people on here who WISH I would 'duck questions' :D heh

By clicking register below, you are acknowledging that an inherent risk of exposure to COVID-19 exists in any public place where people are present. By attending the Rally, you and any guests voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19 and agree not to hold Donald J. Trump for President, Inc.; BOK Center; ASM Global; or any of their affiliates, directors, officers, employees, agents, contractors, or volunteers liable for any illness or injury

So it appears the Bunker Boy has found a mask he will definitely wear to protect his own ass and assets from the effects of the coronavirus, and that tells Americans everything they need to know about Trump.

I can’t have a rally with, you know, seven seats in between everybody. ~ Trump

Yea.. But getting a multi-million dollar pay out from the city??

Where are Trayvon Martin's parents now?? You can bet they are no longer in the ghetto..

The Ghetto Lottery is a real thing...

I do not use the word " racist" casually.

But you condone by your silence when others do...

SILENCE GIVES ASSENT..

That's the Weigantian Charlottesville Rule..

Sure, it's fun (sorry, Elizabeth. Um...to be honest, not all that sorry) to tell each other to [bleep] off. And to use terms like "Trumpanzee," "Odumbo," "Dimocrats" and "Repugs."

Yes it is.. :D But, out of respect for Liz, I do try to limit my usage of Dumbocrats and Odumbo...

But the pleasure is there, no doubt about it.. :D

Your use of these phrases makes me, for the first time, wonder if you got a little racism in you. Whaddup wit dat?

And there you go throwing 'racist' around casually.. :D

This probably predates your time here, but there was an INTENSE discussion about President Trump and racism..

Weigantians were throwing around 'racist' as casually as can possibly be...

I then tied them down to FACTS.. And, one by one, everyone conceded that, while President Trump was a bigot (we all have our bigotries) he was not a racist..

They conceded that point because the had absolutely NO FACTS to support the accusation.. They all went thru their "facts" one by one and I shot them down one by one..

One of my finest hours here in Weigantia...

But don't worry.. Yer in good company.. Democrats actually came out and STATED their plans to falsely accuse those who disagree with the Democrat Agenda.. They ADMITTED that the falsely throw racism accusations around, just to shut people up..

This is fact...

That aside, your notion that young black men
want to die is preposterous.

I never made that claim... I simply maintain that the family is ecstatic when they get millions of dollars.. All of the sudden their grief and anguish disappears..

It's like saying that cops want to die on the job so they can be martyrs and their families can win the sympathy lottery.

Actually, it's nothing like that..

Cops don't want to die.. But they will bear that cross with honor if need be..

And I will always do my duty
No matter what the price
I've counted up the cost
I know the sacrifice
Oh, and I don't want to die for you
But if dyin's asked of me
I'll bear that cross with honor
'Cause freedom don't come free

Michale please don't duck this question as you, and Republicans in general, so often do. And please don't commit "Whataboutism" (that is, trying to duck direct questioning by changing the subject.

Did you ask a question???

Oh.. Am I a little bit racist??

No... Not even a little bit.. :D

Duck a question?? Who do ya think yer talkin' to!! :D

Democrat Black Lives Matter terrorists whining that Democrat Antifa terrorists have hijacked their rebellion..

Maybe President Trump's best course of action is to let Democrat BLM Terrorists and Democrat AntiFa terrorists just kill each other..

Contain it so no innocents are injured and just let the 2 Democrat Terrorist groups have at it...

I hope they take videos.. :D

Any Democrats here going to condemn this???

No?? Yea... Figures....

How do ya'all like yer Democrat Party now???

{{{ccccchhhhiiiirrrrrpppppp, ccccchhhhhhiiirrrrpppppp}}}

Yea... That's what I thought??

SILENCE GIVES ASSENT.....

President Trump needs to crush this armed rebellion... DEMOLISH it...

Democrat Antifa terrorists won't stand a chance against REAL cops and REAL soldiers...

Let me put it this, Liz..

They will do as good of a job as they did in 2016.. :D

Aren't ya'all supposed to be against all this??

Ahhh If it's armed Democrat Antifa terrorists, it's perfectly OK with ya'all, eh? :eyeroll:

Once again.. Blatant hypocrisy....

Yeah, I hear ya. Well, just make sure you guys get that done!

On it! :)

You'll have to look after them, EM, until America can vote out the Idiot Twins.

Yeah, I hear ya. Well, just make sure you guys get that done!

At the risk of opening up a bad memory for CW, I seem to recall an incident long ago at NetRoots Nation, I believe, that parallels what Democrat Terrorists are doing in Seattle...

My response would be a lot less casual and laid back than CW's was...

Get that???

Seattle City Government is facing an ARMED insurrection..

And the mayor calls the terrorists "patriotic"...

What is going on with you Democrats!!!???

Tell you one thing.. If Democrats tried setting up armed checkpoints in my town and tried to stop my freedom of movement??? They would find themselves on the ground with 2 in the 10....

President Trump needs to crush this immediately... If Democrat Terrorists think they can get away with it, there will just be more and more of it...

I have always joked about Democrat Party is the Party of terrorists..

I never really thought that Democrats would PROVE my case...

Howz THAT for predictions becoming fact.. eh??

Ya'all made the SAME fear-mongering predictions the first time around...

Ventilator shortage... Mask shortage Half a million dead..

And NONE of it ever came to pass...

So, wha?? You just rinse and re-used these unfounded and fact-less predictions???

When are ya'all going to learn?? You can't beat President Trump.. You CAN'T run him out of office..

President Trump has BESTED all of ya, yer entire Dumbocrat Party...

AT EVERY TURN....

Ya'all simply can't win...

https://www.foxnews.com/us/seattle-protests-armed-guards-local-businesses-extortion

Democrat Party Terrorists are acting out PLANET OF THE APES...

And THEY are the apes...

Armed checkpoints??? Extorting businesses for "protection"... Setting up a protection racket...

How do ya'all like yer Democrat Party now??? :eyeroll:

You Democrats have a funny way with campaign strategies...

Step #1 Armed Insurrection.. CHECK

Step #2 Extort Local Businesses CHECK

No wonder ya'all want to talk about yesterday's news..

Today's Democrat Terrorist activities must be too much for ya'all to take, eh?? :eyeroll:

One last note on “Choke Holds”... if you want to know how you can tell if an officer is using a choke hold on a person verses some other neck restraint, there is an easy test that you can use to quickly and accurately make that determination!

If you see my mouth move but all you hear is, “Hhh...”; DEFINITELY a choke hold!

Exactly, Russ.. EXACTLY

As Liz can attest to, I said the same thing during the Eric Garner debacle..

If you can say out loud that people can hear you "I can't breathe!!" then it's obvious to people who have more than 2 brain cells to rub together..

You CAN breathe...

Floyd said loudly and clearly, "I can't breathe!!" which means he COULD breathe..

Cops know this.. So Officer Chauvin wasn't too concerned about Floyd's plight because it was clear to Office Chauvin that Floyd COULD breathe..

As I have said for the past week (and, incidentally NO ONE has refuted) it is perfectly clear (again to those who possess more than 2 brain cells) Officer Chauvin did nothing wrong..

This is a well documented and well substabtiated and totally non-refuted FACT...

Coronavirus is so...so... April May...

Racist Cops and Democrat Terrorists taking over neighborhoods and setting up armed checkpoints is today's news...

Your homework is to work the data and let us know:

But, I'm talking about the rest of the world, too.

You'll have to look after them, EM, until America can vote out the Idiot Twins.

Protective supplies still limited, months into the pandemic

Federal Emergency Management Agency data show that the government’s supply of surgical gowns has not meaningfully increased since photos first emerged in March of nurses wearing trash bags for protection.

“The demand for gowns outpaces current U.S. manufacturing capabilities,” a document released Tuesday says.

The document confirms the fears of nurses and other health care providers. After months of pressure on federal officials to use wartime powers to mobilize U.S. plants, the document's slides show that domestic manufacturing of gowns and surgical masks has ticked up by a few thousand per month since the pandemic hit, falling far short of need. The United States still does not manufacture any nitrile rubber gloves.

Five months after the pandemic first hit U.S. shores — and after weeks of lockdown and economic collapse to prepare for a surge of cases — critical personal protective equipment such as surgical gowns and masks continues to face a national shortage.

Lesson learned, right?

By Trump and company? Nope. The only way we're going to get an adequate national response is to vote the morons out.

Me too, EM.

Everybody stay safe, dang it.

Lesson learned, right?

Yep! Must read to the end before responding.

I don't think this is any kind of "second wave" in Texas, simply the fallout from reopening before a single one of the Coronavirus Task Force guidelines was ever met.

Meanwhile, since pictures are worth 1,000 words:

Here you have about 100 or so people of the Trump-Pence campaign packed into a room in Virginia with all that recirculated air blowing around and the so-called "Leader of the Coronavirus Task Force" with not a single mask on a single one of them... at least that I could see.

Why should anyone take this pandemic seriously? The guy who insisted that "smoking doesn't kill" and the moron POTUS who chose that idiot to lead America's response are still apparently in deep denial about the pandemic and the fatal effects of lung diseases.

And, with this virus, especially, no one is safe until everyone is safe - I think we will be living with it and some package of infection prevention and control measures for a long time.

Hospitals filling to capacity, but I honestly think they opened up so quickly in Texas without meeting the CDC guidelines in order to avoid paying unemployment benefits. The funds are now depleted, and Texas will have to borrow money or raise taxes... or both... to pay unemployment benefits. I don't think they'll close down again.

Meanwhile, on the horizon are impending employee layoffs from those businesses that secured billions for payrolls in government grants -- think airlines -- that do not have to be repaid as long as their employees are kept on the payroll until September 30. So October 1 brings more massive layoffs. Lather, rinse, repeat.

The first wave would have been over only if the guidelines set by CDC had been met before re-opening began: no new cases for two weeks. None of the states meet that standard.

That's why, as you wrote: "The medical timeline for a second wave was always supposed to begin at the end of summer -- not at the start." The real second wave, the one that was "supposed to be later on", would have been a restart from near-zero cases because the virus would still be out there in a minuscule number of non-symptomatic cases at the end of a summer of continual lock-down. It would only be able come back when the re-openings were supposed to take place, at the end of summer.

This current re-opening, drastically premature by every medical guideline, simply releases the first wave to continue its temporarily slowed-down spread.

I'm not sure how convincing this point is to people who are thinking, "gee, it felt safe or they wouldn't have reopened, so new infections are coming from nowhere. That's the second wave, I get it." But they are wrong. This reopening was way too early.

What is missing here is the "Moon Shot" program to test extensively, continuously, and aggressively, populations across the nation that are not symptomatic. The Moon Shot vaccine will not come for many months yet. But testing should have been ramped up to 20 to 50 million tests a week, ongoing, a long time ago now. Only then would a governor or mayor be able to say, all clear in this state or city, folks. No such testing is taking place, of course.
