Very interesting perspective.
If you like tinfoil hats
You probably also discount all of the theories on the military industrial complex, Haliburton, etc.
Oh, and Russia, right? The Russia-Trump collusion thing must have had you rolling your eyes from day 1.
Let's try to stay on topic please
That's the kind of response I would expect from a Gator fan . What part? You don't think money drives things in this country? It is funny how the experts said wearing masks doesn't help to oh my God they will save us all. What studies of mask wearing came out that quick to make them change their stance a full 180 degrees? I am telling you in this part of Florida during the supposed shutdown I saw more people in stores and at Home Depot etc. and nobody was wearing masks. The crowds were bigger because nobody was working. Now I see masks everywhere including me but the numbers are rising.
Cucumbers are the answer to the pandemic.
Edit: this is from a preprint paper
JACKSON, Miss. (WLOX) - Across the entire state, there were 1,017 new cases of COVID-19 and 14 new deaths reported Saturday.
3rd consecutive day of 1000+ cases. What ever happened to flatten the curve?
Bank - you might not want to get into a back and forth with someone who seems to control the narrative...
Kasey - you referenced "tin-foil hats" and then threaten him to stay on topic after he made a conspiracy response.
You post a Pelosi (she's considered pretty divisive to some) clap, but tell us to avoid politics.
C'mon, man. Play fair.
@Kasey will be put standing in the corner facing the wall in the mod cave.....
Politics was brought in wayyyyyy earlier than the pelosi gif. Things have gotten off track with a lot of unfounded claims and personal insults. Denmen and I were accused of wanting to kill millions of people.
Well, I have been lenient so far. Lets keep on track please as 2.0 will be the last .0
the tl;dr version...this guy is biased, just like any other journalist you're gonna find out there. @Boss_Dawg hit the nail on the other head the other day and it's part of the reason why I closed down the last one of these I started.
Bank is the king of this type of behavior. He's a big boy and can take a joke. He tried acting like Woodward and Bernstein over Denmen's numbers and I found it a little off-putting. Then I gave him a Pelosi clapping gif because I couldn't think of a better one for "sarcastic clapping" gif. What does it matter that HE KNEW IT!!!!!!! maybe just kindly mention, "hey denmen, I think your numbers might be off" instead of grandstanding like he's trying to win a pullitzer. Just my view of the situation. The gif wasn't meant to be political, it was meant to be funny considering who it was used in reply to.
then I kindly asked him to stay on topic because I knew his response led to nowhere good and in and of itself, is off topic and will nuke the thread which is another one of bank's hobbies on this message board pertaining to subjects not on football. "Let's try to stay on topic please" was my response. I didn't read that as threatening at all.
This is a person who's screen name references the (alleged) size of his pen15. I would like to think he has a sense of humor.
But since I can't seem to help myself on these threads, I'll bow out from now and just read only. I highly suggest to check in daily with Nate Silver's Covid19 tracking which gives simple numbers of the day. I or one of the other mods will step in if necessary, but otherwise I won't post in this thread.
Hopefully that's fair enough for all involved.
That is the exact opposite of what I found. The tests you link to show 14,159 positive and 78,474 negative. The cases reported were 10,328 which is 3,831 lower than the positive tests to take out the repeat positive tests!. The negative tests reported were 40891 which is just over half of that shown on the link. The numbers I report for yesterday at 20.2% is correct based on their own data. The daily % they show includes all repeat tested and secondly taking out repeat positives. They don't take out the repeat negatives as per guidelines.
Their own dashboard show only 51,219 people tested NOT 90,000
In other words the percent positive reported looks better than it actually is.
