Has anyone heard from @SlyPokerDog?

 

Maybe you should go back and reread what has been said...I never once said anything about "incompetence", ...that was you alone. But if you like, feel free to show where I did.

All I said was Tennessee had not yet flattened the curve, and they certainly had not followed guidelines for reopening...I even provided the bar graph that clearly showed that though they had previously been doing well, they had a large 5 day in row spike and again had not followed guidelines of waiting 14 days to reopen.

You then arbitrarily claimed my graph was "baseless", which it wasn't because it only showed "new cases" and you pointed to only "new hospitalizations" at that time as the true barometer. And I then pointed out that it stands to reason that if new cases had once again spiked it would also mean that new hospitalizations would also eventually spike.

 

10% of 100 = 10

10% of 1000 = 100

Just because the second has a higher qty, doesn't mean there was an increase in the percentage...........


Math people.....

 

?

 

Im all for addressing the virus in a govern way until we get a vaccine or therapy to treat. To put things in perspective with area's that we could have more control over, 647K people die each year from heart disease each year! 480 thousand die from smoking each year, that alone in over a million deaths each year! And if it was priority or a great cultural concern we have ways to flatten the curves there too.
Even drug overdose's each year should be enough to take drastic measures to address. If we could isolate people from smoking or drug use (and we could) think of the annual lives saved.
My own family doctor states that we'd have better control over other health hazards, if it were a priority and not a money maker for industries.

 

OHSU to launch trial for Trump-touted Covid-19 treatment

 

lol, how many times are you going to post this same link in different threads? I guess desperate times call for desperate measures. Noticed you didn:t comment on my link about trump and epsteins fued that lead to their falling out. Didn't fit your agenda?

 

Just like the ventilators, they will start having to ignore testing.

 

You may have "disputed" my assertion, but you certainly did not disprove it.

 

Can read the article unless I’m a subscriber. Would you mind copying and pasting the story?

 

Who used "percentages"?

 

Example using simple round numbers to show how an increased percentage of total cases form one day to the next does not always equate to an increased number of cases. IN fact the percent of new cases can decrease WHILE the total percent of all cases rises......This is deceiving and makes it look like the disease is still on the rise, when its actually on the decline.

Day 1:
Current positive cases per million = 10,000
Tested 1000 people, 100 positive results = 1% positive

Day 2:
Current positive cases per million = 10,100 = 1% increase from day 1.
Tested 10,000 people, 200 positive results = .5% positive, down from day 1 with increased testing

Day 3: Current positive cases per million = 10,300 = JUST under a 2% increase from Day 2.


See how the total positives have an increased percent from day 2 to day 3, however the actual percentage of new positive cases are declining?

 

I just did, they all relate to the numbers. Its math.

Just because a total number increases, doesn't mean the total number of cases is actually increasing per million. It's all about how many are being tested vs how many turn up positive.

 

Interesting statistics from the press rally briefings.

trump speaking 63% of the time

Birx speaking 10% of the time

Fauci speaking 5% of the time

Those numbers should be reversed.
