NY Times logic

Can you guess which one of these states the NY Times shows as showing an "increase" trend in cases?


I'll give you a hint... it's not Minnesota, which just passed up the state of Washington for cases and is in danger of passing them in deaths over the next couple of weeks... all while still milking a slightly more relaxed modified lock down order.

Oddly, the NY Times suggests that Minnesota is trending "mostly the same" while Florida is listed as one of the states where "cases are increasing"! These pics are taken directly from the NY Time website with no modifications (other than making them bigger).

I wonder how many statistical experts would be fooled into believing that Minnesota is trending up, while Florida is trending fairly even based on these charts..

in other news, it appears that the african-american community is holding another one of their impromptu street festivals. this one in minneapolis. and of course it includes their ritual "free merchandise dance" supplied by local retailers, and sponsored by local plate glass companies.

this years activities included the always popular "how many flat screen tv's can you stack on a flatbed cart" dash.

and as usual, the work boots section of the shoe dept has so far survived the melee' unscathed.

hey BWAA,

your worst fears are now being realized:

Is there any worse line of business to operate in 2020 than a chain of buffet-style restaurants? Despite the fact that many restaurants are likely to recover and bounce back after we start reopening our economies again, evidence is strong that the buffet model is not long for this world. Golden Corral, for one, is reopening its restaurants without the buffet—a significant shift for the largest all-you-can-eat buffet chain in the U.S. And a big part of the reason for that is that the buffet model was already on its last legs before the crisis hit, in part because of the very kinds of issues that COVID-19 amplifies. Buffets were making people sick years before we could blame it on a pandemic. And in some ways, it reflects the decline of a way of life. How sad should we be about that? Today’s Tedium explains.

This is an amusing opinion.....that dear asshole trump may be facing all kinds of litigation due to his lies.....I hope he enjoys spending days in depositions because many will be watching and hoping he gets what he deserves!!!!!!! bWAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! Enjoy the suck rat....it is what you do best!!!!

President Trump and his minions relentlessly grind out despicable acts — gratuitous insults to war heroes, over 18,000 (and counting) false or misleading statements, many decisions courts have ruled illegal. But Trump’s wantonly cruel tweets about the tragic death in 2001 of Lori Klausutis are distinctive: They may constitute intentional torts for which a civil jury could award punitive damages against him.
Here are the key facts. Ms. Klausutis, age 28, died in the Florida district office of a Republican congressman, Joe Scarborough, who was then in Washington. The police found no evidence of foul play and the coroner reported that the cause of death was a hard fall against a hard object precipitated by her floppy mitral valve disease.
That should have been the end of the story, but earlier this week the president tweeted to his 80 million followers that “some people think” that Mr. Scarborough, now a popular MSNBC news host who frequent criticizes Mr. Trump, “g[o]t away with murder,” calling Mr. Scarborough a “psycho” and a “total Nut job.”
The president has offered no evidence for this slander, because there is none. Last week, Timothy Klausutis, Lori’s widower husband, wrote a remarkably restrained, poignant letter to Jack Dorsey, the head of Twitter, citing the pain that Trump’s “horrifying lies” about his wife’s death have caused him and the family, and asking Mr. Dorsey to remove Trump’s tweet. Mr. Dorsey has refused, most likely because the 1996 Communications Decency Act probably protects him from defamation claims for publishing the words of another. However Twitter added a warning label to the president’s false tweets on Tuesday about mail-in ballots, the first time the service has taken such a step.

Mr. Trump’s first tort is called intentional infliction of emotional distress, which the courts developed precisely to condemn wanton cruelty to another person who suffers emotionally as a result. This tort, which is sometimes called “outrage,” readily applies to Mr. Trump’s tweets about Ms. Klausutis. They were intentional and reckless, and were “extreme and outrageous” without a scintilla of evidence to support them. And they caused severe emotional distress — the protracted, daily-felt grief described in Mr. Klausutis’s letter to Mr. Dorsey.
Although the tweets targeted Mr. Scarborough, his own infliction of emotional distress claim may be weaker than Mr. Klausutis’s. By shrugging off the tweet as simply political gamesmanship on the president’s part, Mr. Scarborough may not have suffered the “severe emotional distress” required for an intentional infliction of emotional distress claim.
Even so, Mr. Scarborough might succeed in a defamation suit against Mr. Trump for reputational harm. After all, the president’s innuendo that Mr. Scarborough may have murdered Lori Klausutis — presumably credible to the many Trump Twitter followers who subscribe to conspiracy theories — may seriously harm Mr. Scarborough’s reputation with them and others.

The Most Important COVID-19 Statistic: 43% Of U.S. Deaths Are From 0.6% Of The Population
Also Massachusetts average age 82 for mortalities

Why Florida has performed better with vulnerable seniors

Contrast the decisions by governors like Cuomo with those of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. In Florida, all nursing home workers were required to be screened for COVID-19 symptoms before entering a facility. On March 15, before most states had locked down, DeSantis signed an executive order that banned nursing home visitations from friends and family, and also banned hospitals from discharging SARS-CoV-2-infected patients into long-term care facilities.

Why did democrat state governors not follow the data and the science ? Will they be held accountable ?

cowardly king obama said...


for clarification at least 43 % of the deaths occurred in nursing homes which represent 0.6 % of the population.

anonymous said...

Only ,6% of the population should be eliminated to get the death tolls in line with what trump wants since these elderly voters have lived their lives and should pass!!!!!!!

President Trump’s approval rating has plummeted since late February, according to the Rasmussen daily tracking poll, which the president frequently cited during his first three years in office.

As of Wednesday, 42 percent of Americans told Rasmussen that they approved of the job Trump was doing as president, while 57 percent disapproved. On Feb. 25, four days before the first reported U.S. deaths from COVID-19, the poll reported that 52 percent of Americans approved of Trump’s job performance, while 47 percent disapproved. On Wednesday, the nation neared the 100,000th death from the virus.

While 42 percent approval is in line with the overall aggregation of polls tracking Trump’s approval rating, it is notable from Rasmussen, which tends to show more favorable numbers for Republicans and the president. FiveThirtyEight, which averages a large sampling of polls, put Trump’s approval rating at 42.6 percent on Wednesday and his disapproval number at 53.7 percent.

Rarely one to mince words, radio host Rush Limbaugh on Tuesday opened up to his listeners about his draining months of treatment for advanced lung cancer, which he was diagnosed with in late January.

While he acknowledged the latest round of therapies was "kicking my a--" — saying, "For the last seven days, I have been virtually worthless, virtually useless"— he also said there were some things he was reluctant to discuss, such as the specific type of cancer he had, the particulars of how it was being treated and his prognosis.

"The temptation here is to start divulging a lot of stuff, and I’m not gonna do that," Limbaugh, 69, said on Tuesday's show, "because I vowed not to be a cancer patient on the radio. I vowed to shield as much of that from the daily program as I can."

The popular and typically outspoken (and sometimes controversial) conservative host also said he didn't want to open himself up to what he called undue scrutiny from news outlets.

"I got several emails ... with questions about my physical condition, and it’s one of the reasons I didn’t divulge a whole lot of detail. There are many reasons why I don’t do that: a) privacy b) media doing investigations," he said.

"I’m still here, and that’s all that’s important," he said. "I can’t and don’t want to divulge any more than that. If I were to go into much greater detail, you know, the media would start researching everything I said."

Still, Limbaugh did get candid about some things, telling listeners an update was "probably overdue."

"These are extremely challenging times for me, medically — nothing that millions of you haven’t gone through or aren’t going through," he said.
