    Anybody still notice that everyone advocating shutting down the economy are all employed hypocrites? Government, news media, CDC, universities, and Hollywood elites all have jobs or do not need money. Plus they are all anti Trump and want the economy to tank so he is not really-elected.

    The biggest number of people calling for closures that I see are now teachers, school administrators, and parents of school children.

    It's official Round Rock ISD is going on-line for first 3 weeks of next school year. This despite every health organization around the world calling for reopening schools for in person instruction. We have hit a level of paranoia that I never knew possible.

    Also, there are hints that Abbott is going to close down the state a second time later this week. We're doomed.

    COVID-19 is turning into a mass mind manipulation experiment. Null hypothesis is that humans aren't zombies. I suspect P<0.05.

    Here is the latest from Houston where, according to national media, coronavirus is "out of control."

    Now for the real numbers -- Yesterday 3 people died who had tested positive. Each was over 80 years old. Two had cancer and one had a heart condition.

    Sunday, 6 people in Houston died who had tested positive for the virus. Five were over 80 years old and died from heart and lung conditions. The one under 80 was morbidly obese and had diabetes and asthma.

    And let us not over look the testing of Jimmie Johnson that kept him from making all left turns, all the time a few weekends back. Tests positive with NO symptoms and then just days later, has two tests within a few days of each other that came back negative.

    Anyone seen this in the media anywhere?
    My theory is that the actual data pisses them off and, as a result, they only show the data that looks scary

    Here is more our media doesn't share
    This is about hydroxychloroquine usage across several nations
    "CFR" = case fatality rate

    Joe Fan, the death number are completely unreliable too. Even if the numbers are low because most of the deaths reported each day aren't from that day or even that week. They are from April and May. This is complete deception.

    And yet someone at my work yesterday blamed "idiots" for the huge surge in Texas and claimed we HAVE to treat EVERYONE as if they were SICK. I didn't even attempt to correct him, because he was so emotional about it, I knew my disagreement would have only made him angrier.

    I dont find the state's website that easy to navigate.
    I do agree that it's a good question, for both the state and the CDC.

    CDC uses a mathematical model to estimate the numbers of influenza deaths in the United States, as well as, the impact of influenza vaccination on these numbers.

    The model uses a ratio of deaths-to-hospitalizations in order to estimate the total influenza-associated deaths from the estimated number of influenza-associated hospitalizations.

    Many parents will not be able to return to work if they have to stay home with their kids. I would bet that if schools just completely closed until January and no one would be paid until then (like the parents), school districts, administrators and teachers would find a way to open the schools. And I’m a retired 32-yr teacher.

    If someone with influenza dies in a car wreck, how do they code it?

    As far as coronavirus accounting goes, right now there is a key distinction to be made between
    "died from Covid-19"
    versus
    "died with Covid-19"
    I am not convinced that this distinction is being consistently made by federal, state and county official record keepers.

    It's the totalitarian fascism of the Left. They are unapologetically hypocritical and dishonest. It's sickening.

    To Wear (a mask) or not to wear... that is the question...
    a poem by bystander

    What is it that you want?
    To walk in your own shoes?
    You tell me you want freedom
    Freedom is what you choose

    Are you brave for consequence?
    Apparently that is what you are
    You won't ask anyone for help
    Freedom is burning your own star

    Who said no man is an island?
    Was it God or someone like you?
    We live in a harbor or a parking lot
    Surrounded by everyone's island too

    Do you till the land by your own hand
    Accepting nothing but the pain yourself?
    But if a man said, he'd soon be dead
    Would it be your choice or his health

    Wearing a mask is kind of a bonus for unattractive people to be honest

    What I've noticed is the enhanced eye contact. People are forced to focus on something besides the mouth.

    Think it was just coincidental that Turner waited so late to screw the GOP Convention
    Yea sure he was just trying to be fair and wait so long to force cancel.
    Wonder how all the business people feel about this?

    The protests have been completely exempted from CV-19 stat analysis.

    That is the pathological politization of reality.

    Isn't it more of a bonus for those who have to look at them?
