On Monday afternoon there were 4006 National deaths. The doom and gloom bunch

Pretty much every model is wrong.

Actually the same modeling theories are used for the weather and

I now know of three people who have died from Covid-19

That's nuts and goes against all the statistics. One city? Not one underlying

Here they are

Aircooled

Sorry to hear that. That's crazy.

So this information comes from three facilities violating HIPAA

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.

Don’t know them personally. Sorry for the misdirection

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

Climate models are right on track:

Defenestrator

4/3/20 11:42pm

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

DeekLyfter

4/3/20 11:53pm

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:

Defenestrator

4/4/20 12:07am

Interesting

DeekLyfter

4/4/20 12:20am

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

The Obama epa said that if all eu and us were to go carbon free

travelcoug

4/4/20 12:16am

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

travelcoug

4/4/20 12:20am

A lot of unsourced claims and factually incorrect statements.

Defenestrator

4/4/20 10:21am

We already know NASA fabricated their models.

coolblue

4/4/20 6:54am

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 called it a goal? That’s really weird. It’s pretty clear the

Posters acting like people are actually disappointed that fewer people are dying than expected.

People have to turn everything into a pissing contest these days. Pick a side and fight all the enemies - whether or not

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

shimmy

4/3/20 11:18pm

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.

Brisco

4/3/20 11:17pm

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

shimmy

travelcoug has insinuated that too many times to consider this unintentional

Psalm Trees

LOL. I don't even follow my own posts that closely.

Brisco

4/4/20 12:12am

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?

shimmy

That’s great! It’s working!

So he was saying what most were saying that don’t employ revisionist history

BYU '80

4/4/20 12:18am

Most weren't saying anything

JoeExotic

4/4/20 1:09am

Most? Where, on Fox News?

chilango

4/4/20 2:14am

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

BYUCLA

4/3/20 11:13pm

This is true although it does look to be slowing finally

johnnybyu

4/4/20 12:25am

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

4/4/20 12:28am

Agreed.

jkccoug

4/4/20 12:31am

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

Calling people’s predictions and projections ‘a goal’ is cheap, bush league BS.

Great news. Our measures seem to be working.

ReyOso

The model takes into account current measures.

Bostonblue

Terrific. It's working even better than we'd hoped.

ReyOso

4/4/20 7:58am

This argument

Toubibe

4/4/20 10:28am

I think you mean if we beat it, some will say there wasn't a battle to fight.

ReyOso

4/4/20 10:44am

If we beat it?

Toubibe

4/4/20 11:09am

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

Bostonblue

4/4/20 11:17am

If measures work, the complainers will state, "see we're okay." If they don't

Uncertainty is for real. Some areas peak sooner. Hot spots growing elsewhere.

It is easy to make models that fit history, but the model is only useful
