Over the top? The only thing that's changed with regard to COVID is the population's numbness to it. We're entering a period now where infections and deaths are going to surpass the highest they've ever been. You know that thing that everyone was worried about in January that already happened and was a global catastrophe? Well, it's happening again, and it's likely going to be much worse. The blame for what's happening ultimately lies with the stupid, selfish, and greedy people that inhabit this third world country. Nothing like going bankrupt and dying of a disease we could have mitigated just to own the libs. I get it, Karen is bored. I don't care. Stay the ***** home and let's end this thing instead of dragging it out for another 2+ years.

listen ######. Deaths is a variable outside of anyone's control and it's a lagging metric. If you took your graph timestamp a couple weeks ago it would paint a much different story, just as it's extremely likely to a couple weeks from now. Once people get COVID, there's not that much different any given American doctor can do to measurably change the likelihood of death assuming everyone is getting quality care. Trying to assign a victory to slightly less deaths with cases trending on the same moving average is taking credit for variance.

"A severe flu" that just so happened to kill an extra quarter of a million Americans. Rest assured, if the flu killed 7,8,9,10x as many Americans per year as it currently does, we wouldn't be brushing that off either.

How many times are you going to keep showing your ass with bunk data?

Innocent child? Give me a ***** break. The kid's still a scumbag.

I mean, it wouldn't be Big Blitz if he didn't completely destroy his own argument.

"stating completely false information" is going way overboard in the opposite direction. If you read the article, there really isn't much that's "false" there. It includes statements from the parties and a reporting of events. Regardless of that they went and added further context and redactions, as they always do. Integrity is being able to admit when you were wrong and not letting emotions get the best of you. The reason that the NYT is a gold standard of journalism is for those reason among others, including their dedication to research and evidence based approach to writing. The difference between media that caters to the right wing and everybody else is that you'll never see them do that. You'll very rarely even see them say a negative thing about their own team. Fox is doing it lately, but like I mentioned previously, that's probably a gambit. They position themselves, and by extension the people that consume their content, as an "us against the wonder" proposition. I understand that you may feel that other media outlets are biased because of how negatively they report on Republicans. Be assured, they report negatively on Democrats and Independents as well, but I don't think you appreciate how many awful things that Trump, McConnel and the rest of the Republican party do on a regular basis. If you're deep in it, it can be hard to gain perspective, but for those of us that aren't in the MAGA cult, it's been a nonstop horrorshow. Every single day for the last 4 years has been chaos, and I'm just happy that we'll soon get back to normal.

The last time a Democrat “won” the presidency while his party sustained a double-digit loss in the House was in 1960, during an election tainted by probable vote fraud in Illinois and Texas. Still, we’re expected to believe that Joe Biden achieved the same feat in 2020 with no skulduggery? Moreover, as Juan Williams admits in the Hill, “President Trump set a record last week by attracting the highest percentage of the non-white vote of any Republican presidential candidate in the last 60 years.” Yet we are expected to believe that, despite the worst showing among minorities of any Democratic nominee since JFK, Biden surpassed Barack Obama’s record-breaking turnout by 10 million votes? Biden’s “victory” seems even more implausible after an audit of his performance in remarkably predictive bellwethers. The Wall Street Journal reports that Biden had a nearly perfect record of losses in counties whose election results have presaged presidential winners for decades: “From 1980 through 2016, 19 of the nation’s more than 3,000 counties voted for the eventual president in every election. Only one … backed President-elect Joe Biden last week.” So, a candidate who campaigned from his basement lost 95 percent of these counties yet won the election? What of the fabled bellwether Ohio? Last month, the New York Times advised that if Trump didn’t win there it was over: Well, not so much. President Trump trounced Biden in Ohio, winning the state by 8.2 percent. Suddenly, AP demoted the state to a bit player in presidential politics: What we are expected to believe here is that the bellwether counties discussed by the Wall Street Journal and the Buckeye State have been left behind by the rest of the nation in the long march toward the mandatory lockdowns and mask mandates that Biden wants to impose on the electorate. In reality, Trump won Ohio and the vast majority of these counties because absentee ballots were managed transparently according to long-standing and coherent guidelines in place long before the election. The only bellwether county out of the 19 that Biden won is located in Washington state, which long ago went to all mail-in ballots and one-party rule. We are expected to believe that this is a coincidence. This brings us to ground zero for election fraud — Pennsylvania. The Commonwealth illegally changed its election rules before and during the voting process. Essentially, the Commonwealth Court and the Secretary of the Commonwealth ignored the General Assembly and the U.S. Constitution to rig the election on behalf of Joe Biden. The American Spectator’s Paul Kengor and Jeffrey Lord have covered this chicanery here, here, here, and here. We are expected to believe that such stories are conspiracy theories, despite videos showing Democrat election officials evicting Republican election observers from vote-counting locations and erecting physical barriers to prevent them from watching. Finally, we come to the Smartmatic/Dominion software that was used to tabulate votes in the swing states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. As this Fox interview with Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani reveals, this software was developed in Venezuela and banned from the U.S. a decade ago. It’s now been brought back into the country under the aegis of a subcontractor. Its major design feature is that it allows the vote counters to calculate how many votes they need to win. Jeffrey Lord has more here. The Democrats want you to believe this is a conspiracy theory. It isn’t. The Democrats knew they couldn’t beat Trump honestly, so they’re stealing the election. In the end, to accept Joe Biden as our legitimate Chief Executive, we must believe the voters hammered the Democrats in congressional, state, and local elections, yet decided to elect the “leader” of their party president. We must believe that he dramatically underperformed among minority voters, yet received 10 million more votes than Barack Obama. We must believe that virtually all of the reliable election bellwethers were wrong. We must believe that all of the elections in the swing states were conducted honestly and that the Venezuelan software used to tabulate the votes was secure. All of this beggars belief. Joe Biden may be inaugurated in January, but he certainly wasn’t elected president. The only thing you need to believe is that 306 > 232.

Can you help me find the false reporting here? As we've seen from Borat, it's entirely possible for Rudy to be a disaster completely unrelated to Biden.

Who's a liberal? Did they correct the story when they got more information? Edit: they did. There are no lies or dishonesty here. This is what a credible news source looks like. Read an article from Fox about Breonna Taylor or find me a Trump quote where he said he was wrong. "Interviews and additional video footage have offered a fuller picture of what happened in this encounter, including the context that the Native American man approached the students amid broader tensions outside the Lincoln Memorial. Read the latest article here." https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/19/us/covington-catholic-high-school-nathan-phillips.html?partner=rss&emc=rss&smtyp=cur&smid=tw-nytimes

You have it exactly backwards. Masks are a mitigation tool, like the aforementioned chainsaw guards or contraceptives. If you use them within the parameters that they are effective (e.g. socially distanced, around other mask wearers, in open air, do not touch them without sanitizing) then they are undoubtedly effective at limiting the speed and distance that air & droplets can pass from one person to another. This is known science, is easily reproduceable and shouldn't be in any way controversial. HOWEVER, limiting the speed and distance at which a person moves air into their surrounding environment is one, ONE, variable in a sea of other variables regarding how COVID is transmitted. Viral load, adherence to hygiene, washing of surfaces, interactions in the home, transmission via mucus membranes in the eyes are a handful of others that also have impact on not only if people get sick, but potentially how sick they get. Part of the reason that transmission in the home is going to be a complicated problem to solve is because of the amount of rampant misinformation about the virus, like the information you believe. If you have 2,3,4+ people living in a confined space and one or more of them have dangerously incorrect notions about the virus it's highly likely that those people are exposing themselves to higher than necessary risk. Once that person does something that brings the virus into the home, it's going to be much easier for others to get it, even if the person that brought it in doesn't. So you wore a mask to the grocery store, cool. But you just grabbed the bags from the cashier with your bare hands that the stock boy touched that hundreds of people breathed around and then you opened your car door and took your mask off without sanitizing before or after, and maybe you wipe your nose because it's runny from the mask & cold temperature. When you get home you touch the door handles and open the pantry and put away the goods you bought without washing them, where your roommate/wife/child grabs them and start eating. 2 weeks later everyone's got COVID and all you can do is throw on a Pikachu face and say mAsKs dOnT wOrK! Do you mean the place where 15,366.1 people live per square mile?

I bet you didn't even notice in all of your ravings how you admitted that masks work. Thanks for coming around, sport.

Good catch I forgot that part when I was trying to keep track of all the flaws. bUt mY hAlLoWeEn!!! I can't wait until we celebrate the pilgrims killing the Native Americans by giving each other a deadly disease next week. At least there will be turkey.

Alt-right: Orange man lost must be conspiracy. Americans: ***** Trump. Alt-right: FRAUD!

Funny you mention no dead people lying in the streets. Police had no problem letting David McAtee lie in the street for 14 hours after they murdered him while he was serving food from his restaurant. And meanwhile, Trump's administration claims the equivalent of 75 9/11's in deaths from a hoax. I wonder how high the numbers would be if they didn't report to him?

I guess I'm a glutton for punishment. Sighh... You didn't actually read the study, did you? If you did you may have (probably not) discovered a few things: Mask wearers had a lower covid rate than non mask wearers: 1.8% to 2.1% Participants were not on a controlled environment. They were not required to wear masks in their own household. They were not restricted from having people in their household. Their behavior out of the household was not regulated beyond the suggestion that they wear a mask. The only verification that masks were worn was via self report. The peer reviews on the link you supplied tore the study to shreds for even more reasons related to the poor structure and control of the experiment. Science is a process, and it requires that processes be carefully controlled, measured and analyzed in order for valuable evidence to be derived. Well run experiments are so specific that proving something as broad as the efficacy of masks should not really be possible. Putting a kickback guard on a chainsaw doesn't prevent you from cutting your arm off if you want to.

Well that's straight up wrong, but I really don't expect you to come armed with facts, so carry on.

My favorite Lee Smith fact In 16 Games played in 2019, Lee Smith had 4 receptions for 38 yards. He also had 8 penalties for 51 yards He made 3.5 million dollars in 2019 and is making 3.25 million dollars in 2020 An absolute ***** legend and my personal hero.

You can't be one-dimensional and expect to win in the Playoffs. Fixing whatever is wrong witht he run game is critical to us having sustained success including scenarios in inclement weather and being able to dictate the pace of play.

someone gets it.

She ***** sucks. What's your point?

Maybe the fact that he's lied over 20,000 times while in office has something to do with it? He's likely the most documented dishonest person who has ever lived. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/jul/13/donald-trump-20000-false-or-misleading-claims Can you make an evidence based claim that NYT has done the same?

"Charges Against Protestors Being Dropped By The Thousands" https://news.yahoo.com/why-charges-against-protesters-being-201033263.html Prosecutors called the scale of both the mass arrests and mass dismissals within a few short months unrivaled, at least since the civil rights protests of the early 1960s. With police detaining hundreds of people in major cities, the arrests this year ended up colliding with the limitations of the court system. In the aftermath, prosecutors declined to pursue many of the cases because they concluded that the protesters were exercising their basic civil rights. Cases involving free speech or free assembly rarely succeed in court, according to prosecutors across the country, and the coronavirus pandemic also played a role in the decision. A wave of thousands of minor cases threatened to capsize courts already floundering under hefty lockdown backlogs. There was also the recognition that law enforcement officers often use mass arrests as a technique to help clear the streets, not to confront illegal behavior.

Niners and Patriots could go either way, and expecting a loss against Pittsburgh. I wouldn't be shocked at all if we drop all 3.

You should have read my post. It addressed this - in the first paragraph.
