Coronavirus is one mutation away from infecting millions

[Blake]

Current daily deaths for the ENTIRE COUNTRY on par with just NY state in April.

Am I wrong?

You're disingenuous to compare today with April.

Or an idiot. Your pick.

Why the hard on for April NY?

you didnt know? cuomo sent recovering patients back to nursing homes

DarrenS is a dedicated COVID-19 minimizer. He believes in it, but he'll often try load the dice to make the present look as harmless as possible.

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.

Data is nonpartisan

Data is nonpartisan

Your choices in datasets certainly appear to be.

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.

Worldometers?

[ChumpDumper]

Worldometers?

Worldometers only displays NY in April?

[spurraider21]

Worldometers?

[DarrinS]

Yes

[DarrinS]

April 17, 1025 deaths in NY
Today 1119 deaths in U.S.

I said on par

Data is nonpartisan

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

[spurraider21]

But lower than just NY in early to mid April.

Within margin of error, tbh

[TSA]

211 that's your number

How many kids 5-17 have died from Covid in the US?

What’s the hospitalization rate for kids 5-17 with Covid?

[spurraider21]

most deaths in a day since june 2

But lower than just NY in early to mid April.

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 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.

Popular opinion and consensus is not science.

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

We'll talk about this post in December

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