Sometimes the comparisons don't work: I don't see why anybody supposed to be comforted that the rate of death in NY in April equals that of the whole country right now.

Have you noticed that the most vocal COVID skeptics are also the most vocal climate change skeptics? Regardless of popular opinion or consensus among people with decades of expertise in their field, they see nothing but "alarmism" that threatens their contentment.

These are also the same people who think ANTIFA is literally going to kill them someday.

Popular opinion and consensus is not science.

It gets cherry picked for partisan politics all the time. You're a fine example of it

wrong in addition to being a red herring

Why are we talking numbers again? Lives don't matter, remember? All that matters is narrative. If the deaths are in NY, no biggie. Cuomo dithered. If they are in a red state, holy fuck we knew it. Get a rope.

I don't think they parse it that way.

I believe ~200 under 24 have died so far with kids mostly out of school. I guess we can double your dead kid total this coming flu season.:tu

It's typically based on science. Not kneejerk, conveniently partisan skepticism.

Hey a new record. That changes everything. If we get one more tomorrow, is today's record really just shit, like Mark McGwire's HR record after Bonds smashed it a couple years later?

I'm just glad our governor isn't asking for 40K ventilators.

In April that was what anyone knew to do.

I know it's hard to believe but we're in July
