Just an observation from someone who tries to listen to everyone and respond in order to promote a good discussion...
The "threats" to keep this wonderful, thought provoking thread "on track" have been very "one-sided."
Just go back and look. It's not really a matter of opinion.
It is our inherent liberal bias clearly
It's actually true (not the clear bias you jokingly refer to, but the factual lean of the "warnings"). Call it what you want. It's also your prerogative, so do what you will on your site. But if you don't want it to be pointed out, then that's just unfortunate...
Leave the last sentence of your post out and you wouldn't have been. And yes there has been jabs by a few here and it's not going to go there. This thread may go into a halftime break to regroup and stop the talk about sexual predators and who is and isn't responsible for this.
I’m all for the truth. Whatever that may be.
The point I’ve been making concerns why there is a discrepancy in the first place. Are the pos% rates being calculated properly? They seem to be consistently calculated the same way across state borders. I also wholeheartedly agree that the way @Denmen185 calculates seems to make more sense, but given none of the other states use his method then it is fair to question why he insists on doing so. If CDC intends for the states to calculate it a certain way but another way makes more sense, well...you still do it the CDC’s way and assume they have a valid scientific reason. We shut down the entire country just based on theoretical mathematical models that have since been proven false, so it wouldn’t surprise me a bit if their formula for this is wacky.
Maybe the crooked crazy nole woman is right and Florida is cooking the numbers, but that’s a different issue. I don’t see the point. It’s not like they are reporting really low numbers as it is.
You also don’t get to attest that all of the numbers are legitimate, except for these few.
I and others were told we should be put in an internment camp for not pushing Vitamin D as a cure for COVID-19 with no push back from mods. I'm not complaining I can handle myself and I don't need to run to mommy mod for everything, but there is definitely not a "one-sided" thing being pushed here. All manner of quackery and conspiracy has been pushed on here with little resistance. I've just had enough of it.
This is a great thread, by the way. The banter is entertaining!
They aren't all accurate. Its woefully under-counted and many of us have said that throughout the pandemic. However, its an ever bigger problem if a state is intentionally under counting or even purposefully misreporting results.
The fact that you used the word quackery made me miss Ender Rob that guy of a HR! That's awesome...
Again, this thread is amazing!
Does this mean you are also quitting the thread? 🤣
You have a flare for dramatic exaggeration, sir.
Funny that I was quoting a guy's exact words that were a much more serious breach of the rules, but you called my quote of him out as if I was serious, and I was simply ridiculing his hyprocrisy. Maybe there is a bias guys and you just aren't seeing it?
This thread has shown over and over again how no one sees their own bias
I think we can reach consensus on that statement!
The predator line was a classic. You just need to read back a few pages. I don’t think anyone got their feelings hurt.
