Previous update was May 12. I'm not hypercritical of their models.
When was their last update?
You seem hypercritical of their models. What other models do you prefer?

Why vaccines are so slow
Early news about medical treatments — like yesterday’s announcement that a coronavirus vaccine has shown positive results in eight people — can feel both exciting and frustrating.
The frustrating part is the timing. Even if all continues to go well with the research into this vaccine, it won’t be available until late this year or early next year. Between now and then, the vaccine will have to endure two more research trials, one involving hundreds of people and the other involving thousands.
Given the virus’s terrible toll, that long process can seem strangely lacking in urgency. But scientists insist that it isn’t. Here are the key reasons they say that there are no easy or fast routes to a vaccine:
Early results don’t always stand. In 2015, the French drug company Sanofi began selling the first vaccine for dengue. The drug had made it through multiple research trials — although some researchers believed Sanofi had ignored worrisome signs. Sure enough, as children in the Philippines began using it, some contracted an even worse form of dengue. Today, use of the vaccine is highly restricted.
In recent testimony, Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious-disease expert, noted that a coronavirus vaccine could suffer from the same problem.
The larger point is that drugs that look good in small, initial studies often look less good when they’re tested in more people.
Side effects matter. A vaccine doesn’t merely need to work, as Katie Thomas, a Times reporter covering pharmaceuticals, explained to me. It needs not to have side effects that cause more damage than the virus itself.
This coronavirus seems to kill only a small percentage of people who get it. The side effects have the potential to do more damage, because any coronavirus vaccine will be given to billions of people, including many with underlying health problems.
Politics matter, too. Vaccines are the subject of frequent conspiracy theories and falsehoods. Given this skepticism, a coronavirus vaccine that did more harm than good could cause much broader damage.
It could lead people around the world to stop taking vaccines that actually work. That’s what happened in the Philippines after the dengue scandal.
All of which is a reminder that promising early results — like yesterday’s — often prove fleeting. Only about 10 percent of drugs that clear the first research phase ultimately make it to market.

Vaccinations Fall to Alarming Rates, C.D.C. Study Shows
In Michigan, fewer than half of infants 5 months or younger are up to date on their vaccinations, which may allow for
outbreaks in diseases like measles.

The Bungling Superpower:
COVID-19 Has Recast America as a Global Chump
Even at its worst, America has always been considered competent.
Now, the combination of Donald Trump and coronavirus has cast the U.S. as pathetically inept. And it’s not a good look.
thanks to the combination of Trump’s much-mocked America First doctrine and his administration’s chaotic and chuckleheaded response to the coronavirus,
the Trump administration has recast our brand in a new way: the bungling superpower.
While Germany is led by a woman with a doctorate in quantum chemistry,
the U.S. president was suggesting that people inject disinfectant to cure the virus.
Irish Times that
“the world has loved, hated, and envied the U.S. Now, for the first time, we pity it.”
The emotion is not pity, but schadenfreude:
people around the world are taking a secret pleasure in the U.S.’s inep ude.
the increasing non-essentialness of America among nations and the discrediting of the American model of governance and capitalism.
As the world celebrated the 75th anniversary of VE Day a couple of weeks ago, ...
the U.S. was con uously absent.
Macron said, “is on the sidelines.”
the images of nurses in New York City wearing garbage bags for personal protection circulated around the globe.
America “has never seemed so fragile.”
We looked like a failed first-world state.
“in pandemics there are builders and destroyers” and that Trump is the latter.
something new when an American president boasts about an experimental hypersonic missile by saying, “I call it the super-duper missile.”
Right now, the winners in the fight against the coronavirus are
New Zealand, South Korea, Taiwan, the Czech Republic, and Canada—
countries that reacted quickly, did not panic, and used science and data to combat the virus.
It remains to be seen how China and Russia will be perceived.
But to use a le from Trump’s beloved reality TV, we are The Biggest Loser.

pissed me off at HEB and Walmart today seeing people taking their masks off or pulling them down once let in the store. There was one lady in a scooter who looked to have trouble breathing so fine, she can take hers off, but the other eight people I saw all looked fine and healthy. It's such a big you to other shoppers and especially to the workers in the store.

Qhris put me on mute or ignore?
Below is a response to his post even though you can't tell. He maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad at me
That's because the numbers aren't true in Texas Georgia or Florida to help the Orange menace. They're much higher. Kemp (Georgia's criminal Governor) just got caught. Abbot seems smarter (but still a criminal) so he might get away with it.
Lol "morality rate"

Bragging about balanced budgets a time like this over deaths and getting the most positive tests yet the other day. What a ing asshat
