Trump: "I think we're in a good place," in disagreeing with Dr. Fauci.

"Two, three, four weeks, by the next time we speak..."

I remember his last prediction. And the one before that. And the one before that...

"We've done a good job," the President said. "I think we are going to be in two, three, four weeks, by the time we next speak, I think we're going to be in very good shape."
...
"But I think you're going to see with all of the things that we're doing, and with all of the therapeutics that are coming out, and then ultimately the vaccine, we're going to be in very good shape very soon," he claimed.

Wilkins Micawber is a piss poor choice for a medical advisor.

He dismantled the unit.

By Jove!
I think you got it!
LOL

Gee, the same thing that has been said a bunch of times.

BUT THE POLICE WERE NOT BOUND TO DESKS.

They were not taken off the streets. They just changed units.

Okay. You didn’t get it.

You're a racist liar.

I got it.

Ah. The race card.   Always up your sleeve.

heh

Fucking clown

Thanks for the translation.  I've only seen the transcript of the speech in its original German.

It's Orwellian,  the degree to which 45 has made complete lies the central dogma of his administration.  "Black is white!   Seeking equality is anarchy!   Marching for justice is fascism!  Free speech is tyranny! "

Millions are like frogs in the slowly heating pot.   Not jumping out even as it nears boiling.

The elephant, Buffalo and impala aren’t armed and disputing corners.

The elephant and buffalo are armed. They also work in collaboration.

You seem more like the Impala.

The lions and leopards dispute territory. The cheetah has to work fast, and eat fast. Because the hyenas will come to steal his food.
The hippo is more of a soloist, and kills whoever gets in his way.

The baboons sit in the trees and taunt.



You can find all of these represented in ANY neighborhood.

But all the best neighborhoods have elephants. Matriarchal societies who take care of their own.

I believe my first sentence referenced the increase of gun violence across the nation. You took my metaphor to Botswana and back.

So I guess that makes you the baboon.

No. You just can't read well.

You wrote the analogy. Now that you can't clarify it without taking offense or without twisting others' words indicates something about your nature, not mine.

Be well. And look both ways before crossing the street.

I stand by the original post.

I said what I said.

Yes. Stand by it. You said what you said. Which was nothing worth being said.

Go have a drink, grandpa. You’re not quite drunk enough to be entertaining.

IHME has updated their projection for October 1 (by way of announcing their Nov 1 projection) again.

This time, it looks as if they have been listening to me, as they bumped it up from 175k by 10/1 up to 185 by then (unless we change to universal facemasks). 208 for November 1, if we don't, but don't loosen things further. And 215k if we do (but no change to Oct. 1, only Nov. 1, should that happen).

I think the 185k for 10/1 is pretty reasonable.

But it's a thousand low after a week and extrapolating, that could be 17k off by Nov. 1.

New study in the Lancet details:

Spain's large-scale study on the coronavirus indicates just 5% of its population has developed antibodies, strengthening evidence that a so-called herd immunity to Covid-19 is "unachievable," the medical journal the Lancet reported on Monday.

The findings show that 95% of Spain's population remains susceptible to the virus. Herd immunity is achieved when enough of a population has become infected with a virus or bacteria -- or vaccinated against it -- to stop its circulation.

The European Center for Disease Control told CNN that Spain's research, on a nationwide representative sample of more than 61,000 participants, appears to be the largest study to date among a dozen serological studies on the coronavirus undertaken by European nations.

It adds to the findings of an antibody study involving 2,766 participants in Geneva, Switzerland, published in the Lancet on June 11.

They're probably just doing this to upset the Donald, right?

Given the detected undercount so far, we are already north of 160k if not 170k.

This will do in 250k Americans before we finally do away with trump.

Push that count, idiots.

Should at least be run past Congress.   Don't think the founders of this country were really going for an imperial level of executive power.

Better than you and your guys, "Suppress that count, while helping to add to it by lying to the public!"
