Corona Virus Peak Watch Thread

This is the Internet, my friend. Anyone can find something which supports a their confirmation bias.

Agreed, but as RB, Duck Shit, Diesel and a few others continually prove, not everyone even bothers looking for it. They just post whatever bullshit flows into their brain housing.

Hello Controlled Opposition,

This is the Internet, my friend. Anyone can find something which supports a their confirmation bias.

Surely you are not conjecturing that this thread is anything but dead-serious and fact-based.

I wanted to stay in touch with just how this is affecting our nation. No fooling oneself, no white-washing. What are the numbers?

If we are not willing to look at them, THAT is a problem.

If these statistics are bothersome, that's the point. They should be. We have done an atrocious job. It did not have to be this bad.

This thread also establishes a searchable record. We can easily go and see when the surges have been. That can be matched up with leadership decisions.

There's nothing like straight up data to cut through the BS political arguments.

And I suspect that is why some try to grumble about this thread.
 
923 of every million Americans we had when this began, are now dead.

Looks to me that we will surpass 1000 deaths for every million Americans before Christmas.

That will make it 1 in a 1000 Americans lost.

Leadership must be questioned about that.

Could more have been done?

Of course it could have.

There are many horrendous crimes committed by American presidents that pseudo-patriots don't want mentioned, loss of American lives in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan etc.- but nobody ever imagined that an American president could lose more American lives than those - on the US mainland.

All those who listened to Trump's insane virus advice during 2020- what do they think now that they see him STILL claiming to have won the election ?

Season's greetiongs PoliTalker,

One man is not responsible for this mess. People stupid enough to let politicians decide issues like masks are the problem.

Given the halo-effect, we will never know how many afflicted with the virus were fully complying with the three rules.
 
Hello Controlled Opposition,

Season's greetiongs PoliTalker,

I said none of the above.

True dat. And your comment was not directed at me.

Sorry if that came off as critical of anything you've said.

I used your response as a kind of general response to the occasional criticisms surrounding this thread. Probably should have just made it as a general post.

Happy holidays to you, too.

:)
 
'Only' 1600 deaths yesterday.

Relatively, that's fewer than on many recent days, but greater than the entire loss of life in the Titanic disaster.

Would the right have called the Titanic disaster a hoax? Fake news?

Remember those BS arguments that 'We already peaked and it's going away?"

Yeah.

The right said that.

We don't hear that BS any more.

Egads.

Nearly a quarter million new cases yesterday.

Over 3500 new deaths.

Deaths per million shot up to 948.

This thing is ripping us apart.

No hoax.

What a tragedy.

So glad we are getting rid of our pretend non-leader faker who couldn't lead an ant out of a paper bag.
