tube fanatic Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 5 hours ago, tube fanatic said: Just noted that CNN updated their article half an hour ago stating that the county was forced to drop their exemption. The link takes you to the updated article, not the original. Maynard Well, CNN updated the article yet again this morning! What is interesting to me is that the article is being rewritten each time and the prior article ceases to exist. This is just like the activities of the Ministry of Truth in Orwell’s 1984. So, unless a person prints articles as they originally appear there is no way to look at what was actually said. Maynard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Updating the news is somehow orwellian? Check all of your screws, there might be one or two loose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mungkiman Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Shame on CNN for having current and factually correct information instead of enabling people to reach false conclusions based on outdated policy.

Bosco-d-gama Posted June 25, 2020 Author Share Posted June 25, 2020 1 hour ago, Jeff Matthews said: First, the number of new cases is stated as a quantity and not a percentage of the population. Second, if it is true that we are testing more extensively, our numbers are going to be higher. In other words, that graph really doesn't tell much of a story by itself. And it’s a ‘rolling’ average without any depiction of standard deviations. It’s muddled and you’re correct - it does not convey much useful detailed information.

Bosco-d-gama Posted June 25, 2020 Author Share Posted June 25, 2020 Y’know we can parse the data up any number of ways. The facts on the ground evidence themselves. We have more active cases. We have more hospitalizations. We have a resurgence that varies regionally. The disease remains serious in the short term and an unknown in the longer term. We’d all be better off w/o more of this disease and the steps to do that are not hard. Why we have this ‘duh’ factor amazes me. But for some $hit don’t stink unless it’s on their shoes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just read that here, in the Katy area (a suburb of Houston), the infection rate is less than 0.1%. That's almost negligible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billybob Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 Once again, back to the numbers. How non personal. Heard an anecdotal that some here are infected. Getting more personal. Guess in a smaller population, I can observe how locals react, given time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinball_pw Posted June 25, 2020 Share Posted June 25, 2020 If your neighbor is unemployed, it is a recession. If you are unemployed, it is a depression . I feel like we have similar feelings here about the virus. If you have it or know someone with it, you probably feel differently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was named by European-American settlers for U.S. president Thomas Jefferson. You're right, lets get a confederate name on it to avoid triggering imbeciles.
