Since HIPAA extends beyond death. So unless this information was released by authorization (ie power of attorney) then no one would know whether no underlying conditions were present.

Pretty much every model is wrong.

America "must" know age and if any underlying conditions were present. "Must!"

This could be but Worldometer is still reporting zero deaths in Wyoming.

Wow. Yeah, I think those who haven’t been affected are underplaying it

It is horrible when it is close to you and I pray for you and their families.

Not to make light but therefore you have no idea if there were underlying

Climate models are right on track:

4/3/20 11:42pm

That's because climatologists pick and choose and fabricate their own data

If you wish to allege fraud, you are welcome to present evidence for it.

Defenestrator

4/3/20 11:55pm

You'd only explain away at it until you've convinced yourself not to believe it

DeekLyfter

4/4/20 12:01am

Or independently verify it myself. Oh wait, I've already done that:

Ask yourself, why don't they show a direct comparison plot of raw vs adjusted

By the way. We want clean air and clean water so that’s not an issue

travelcoug

A lot of unsourced claims and factually incorrect statements.

Defenestrator

4/4/20 10:21am

We already know NASA fabricated their models.

Not at all, and if you want to allege fraud you need to provide evidence.

In seasons of rapidly changing weather, meteorological forecasts are pretty good for about two days out.

You're not a fan of the same religion/location/political viewpoint/sports team as me so I will never agree with you.

To be honest, the stakes are really high. We need to be right on this.

Let’s not take people to task for the use of a word. There’s too much of that on cb.

I think it is pretty clear that word was chosen intentionally based on viewpoint. However, I agree that the viewpoint

Brisco

That is great news. Was the doubling every 2 days model based on ouotcomes with or without the social distancing?

shimmy

4/3/20 11:03pm

Without. (And it was 3 days IIRC)

All-American

4/3/20 11:04pm

So the social distancing efforts are resulting in significant slowing based upon travelcoug's numbers?

Most weren't saying anything

Most? Where, on Fox News?

FWIW they were talking about deaths/day, not total deaths

johnnybyu

Number of deaths per day, and it DID double till today

jkccoug

4/3/20 11:55pm

It doubled in 2 days on 3/24 then to 3-4 days after that and then 4 days after

johnnybyu

Agreed.

The measures are working and travelcoug is disappointed. He wanted more deaths

If we beat it?

Means the models are wrong no matter how you cut it.
