    WTF, that Pennsylvania Health Director is transexual. She was "misgendered" in interviews I guess and that causes a big stink.

    That's the one that moved her mother out of a nursing home as nursing home deaths were skyrocketing.

    You are. Tranny is short for transmission. Obviously they are advertising their ability to provide free covid-19 transmission.

    That, or maybe the sign is propped up on the tranny from a 1958 Ford.

    So when you said, "So much for this administration allowing the governors to make their own call," you weren't suggesting that the court decision indicated that he had diverted from that directive, but simply opining that that directive is ineffective?

    OK--I guess that makes sense. At first I wasn't understanding the connection between the headline quoted and Trump. Thank you for the clarification.

    Coronavirus is FIVE TIMES deadlier than the seasonal flu, report finds, as researchers say comparing the two diseases is 'apples-to-oranges'
    • Researchers compared coronavirus deaths aboard the Diamond Princess cruise ship to deaths from the seasonal flu
    • The death rate on the ship was 0.5% compared to the 0.1% for influenza, making coronavirus five times deadlier
    • A comparison was also made during peak weeks of the outbreak in April compared to peak weeks of the influenza season from 2013-20
    • About 20 times as many people died during a peak week of COVID-19 as did during a peak week of the flu
    • Officials such as Trump have compared the two diseases but the team says this is 'apples-to-oranges'
    The novel coronavirus is about five times deadlier for adults than the seasonal flu, a new study suggests.

    As of early May, about 65,000 Americans had died from COVID-19, the disease caused by the virus, which is about as many people who die from influenza every year in the US.

    However, researchers say the two viruses are not comparable because one is more contagious than the other and the way that deaths are reported is different.

    By using data from the Diamond Princess cruise ship outbreak, for which complete data is available, they determined the fatality rate was 0.5 percent - a five-fold increase from flu death rates.

    Although officials may say that SARS-CoV-2 is "just another flu," this is not true,' the team, from Harvard University and Emory University, wrote.

    Team Trump Pushes CDC to Revise Down Its COVID Death Counts

    the new narrative, the data is wrong and needs to be revised to better reflect the president's agenda.

    So now, Trump knows more about infectious disease epidemiology than the PhD epidemiology experts we rely on. I didn't realize that his educational resume needs to include both a PhD in microbiology specializing in infectious diseases as well as PhD in epidemiology. This guy is the greatest genius of the last 100 years and maybe forever. People talk about how brilliant he is. I'd have to include the word stable when describing his genius. He's probably the most stable genius of all time. Why don't they just give all seven of the Nobel prizes to him every year?

    That's kind of a specific sample size.

    I wouldn't surprise me one bit if Trump and his team was trying to lower death and case counts. He knows that he needs to open this economy to have a chance in this next election. Trump is a compulsive lier and a hypocrite.
