There is no slander period and no one is denying we have 2500 people dying a day right now. It was inevitable because of the piss poor planning, actions, and dismissal of NYC being at high risk of a major outbreak even in early March when Cuomo, Deblasio, and the Cities DoH Director blew it off completely encouraging people to attend parades, theaters, restaurants, etc like nothing was going on at all.
40% of the Nation’s total deaths have occurred in NY, and they own it.
Quoted what in full context? I’ve given my weekly estimates consistently and they have all been spot on. Two weeks ago, you said we’d be at 1.2% mortality rate or lower right now. You were wrong. Multiple times more than any of my estimates have been.
On this we agree! He never has been.
Full context including the fact that two weeks ago they’d reported the lag had been eliminated which obviously has yet to happen.
You can read can’t you? You do read your own posts don’t you?
Yes, your “weekly forecasts” have been greatly improved since you are now no longer using your original model that was badly flawed.
Anyone with a pencil using current data can get pretty close predicting a week ahead.
Your model was broken.
We have no idea what the current mortality rate is since there is still at least a 7-10 lag in reporting but let’s be sure and revisit the topic in ten days using today’s total mortality to the total number of cases being reported.
Given what choice?
We support his policies when we agree with him, that is completely separate from approving of him as a man.
He’s a horrible human being but for the most part has been a very good president policy wise and particularly with his handling of this outbreak.
So your model changes as data and trends change?
Mine does and always has based on what is known at the time.
He didn’t even mention that until today, he certainly didn’t mention it with his “doubling every 3 days” prediction or when he came back to again claim it was working just fine in spite of how wrong it was beyond about the first ten days.
He predicted what numbers were going to be at a future point time and he was right.
No he wasn’t which is why he had to change his model because it fell apart in 10 days.
Adroit was correct. On April 2 he predicted 10,400 deaths over the next week.
April 2 - 6,088 total deaths
April 9 - 16,712 total deaths
Increase from 4/2 to 4/9 = 10,624
Only after changing his original model.
He never said the number of deaths would double every 3 days in perpetuity. He looked at what the trend was at the time and predicted what the number would be at a specified point in the future, and he was correct.
Complete and uttter horse hockey
Wow, just wow.
It was a whole lot closer than any of your predictions
It certainly wasn’t, not from the start.
You people were laughing this off as nothing in January and February when some of us were predicting it could become a devastating threat to the US, particularly to the economy and I was leading that pack.
Get your own material, stealing mine is a true mark of intellectual bankruptcy and ineptitude.
I found a neat summary of yesterday’s Coronavirus Task Force brief:
Briefing started with a video provided by General Motors about the ventilators they’re making
Trump ranted about how so many federal judges, which he later admitted to wanting to put in because “they’ll be there for decades”, are being held up “by the Democrats”. And that because of this he is considering adjourning Congress as a whole to get them passed. While he has the power to do so, it’s only if the House and Senate can’t agree on when to adjourn, and it has literally never been done in the history of the country.
Trump ranted about the Democrats, falsely claiming that Nancy Pelosi held a big party in Chinatown in California after his travel ban.
Trump backed down on his backing down from yesterday, claiming today “we have the power to do whatever we want” and that he will take “strong action” against states that “don’t do what we want”
Trump claimed to have no involvement in the last-minute change to have his name added to the physical checks being sent out, but not opposing it, saying “I don’t know why there will be my name on the checks, but people will love cashing those big fat checks with my name on it!”
When asked for if returning funding to the World Health Organization would be conditional, Trump once again attacked the WHO, while claiming that the US should be designated a “developing nation” alongside China
Asked for his reaction to the latest case and death numbers, in comparison to the rest of the world, Trump implied that because China’s numbers might not be honest, then other countries may also be reporting false numbers, intentionally or not.
