    Who is they? I posted because I thought it was interesting. I don’t agree with all their findings. Perhaps if you didn’t have a pre-existing narrative you can look at things with a different lens.

    I mostly agree but most of the population including the workers are not from South Dakota.

    Thought this was interesting. Study on a superspreading event, Sturgis. This would be the largest studied superspread event and a cause for the current South Dakota epidemic and other states. http://ftp.iza.org/dp13670.pdf

    Don’t believe model or science. Take out a calculator and multiply 120 days x 1,000. Add that to current death count. That isn’t fear mongering.

    I concur. I think it is overstated. My guess would be the 300k range. And of course that number is hard to digest compared to even the worst FLU seasons.

    No it’s not. NY, NJ and Mass plateaued long ago. It’s just you disagreeing and trying to change the narrative. The story with a pandemic is positivity rates, case trends and then deaths. RU#s as stated talked Northeastern states endlessly. Connecticut today isn’t even in the top 25 in cases per...

    Usual suspects. The same folks who want to place the deaths in other categories want to blame Murphy for deaths at LTC facilities. How can you blame Murphy if they were all supposed to die of heart disease. Forget the fact all this info has been posted multiple times.

    Problem in Georgia as well. So much so the Kemp administration needed to send out a warning. “Chlorine dioxide products have not been shown to be safe and effective for any use including treatment of COVID-19,” said a statement from the governor’s office...

    OT: California power outages

    Quick. Everyone to their corners! Heat has caused disruptions in demand supply forever. Of course you don’t mention two gas plants went offline. The rationale that there was not enough supply is complicated. First there was a heat wave across the west. They couldn’t get the necessary supply...

    Natural gas is closing coal. It’s economics. Propping up coal is where the graft is at. https://www.power-eng.com/2020/07/21/ap-ohio-house-speaker-arrested-in-bribery-probe-linked-to-nuclear-power-plants/

    Florida covid deaths have doubled in the last month to nearly 10k. First it was COVID would never be an issue in the US. Then it was well the cases in the northeast are ten times anywhere else. Now the cases by population are quickly passing New York and New Jersey. Now it is but look at the...

    Nearly 50% of all covid deaths in Sweden were in LTC facilities. On one hand you state how well Sweden is doing but blast Murphy for LTC deaths. Those two positions don’t tie.

    On the flip side I recall many comparisons to the flu and 60k deaths.

    If we had the federal government mandate and release consistent reporting from states would be helpful but since we don’t each state can report as they see fit. Some states won’t even release LTC deaths to the public (I.e Arizona). I question after months of learning and treatments why we are...

    Generally the metrics they look at include, but are not limited to, a positive test rate over 10% or 10 persons per 100k over 7 day rolling average. That is further influenced by the regional pact with various states. Rhode Island exceeded one of these thresholds. Each of these state...

    OT: Safe outdoor drinking spots In/near Cape May

    Second Ugly Mug. Good spot but as another poster mentioned, folks should be taking full advantage of grabbing a drink to go and wandering the mall.
