Coronavirus in the United States - news and thoughts

How is somebody supposed to prove you wrong? I could claim that more posts from liberals on here are factually accurate than posts from conservatives. That doesn't make it true simply because nobody has the time to analyze every post and prove it right or wrong. That's silly. That's not how the burden of proof works. You're making the claim; the burden is on you to prove it.

 

I and several proved the articles that were posted by some to be false. It really wasn't that hard, the leftist media wrote false articles, and most of you guys considered it to be factual and raced one another trying to be first to post, only to look like fools. It was daily for a while.

 

another very positive day, new cases 21,408, lowest of last 4 wednesdays, with almost 414,000 tests, highest ever, a little over 5% positive. deaths were 1,461 almost 400 less than any previous wednesday. all in all, things are really starting to come around, now if only hot and humid weather will help out.

 

I've read your posts, yet somehow I was hoping a data driven, fact filled analysis, based on numerical comparisons. But we have your proof in the post 11362 above. Sigh.

 

you continue to display a severe lack of knowledge on the issue.

 

This travel is what seeded New York. Sad. Illness and death attributable to the suppression of information and lies being told at the same time. The word for it is evil.

 

Georgia has been caught lying too many times about its numbers.

 

Ill look for an article to link, but my wife just told me she read Georgia has been including antibody tests in their “total” test numbers. So cases are going up in Georgia WITHOUT increased testing like they’ve claimed, or accurate reporting for that matter.

EDIT Link: Latest data lapse inflated Georgia’s virus test count by 57,000

 

Yes, reputable outlets occasionally report false stories. That forces them to issue corrections. The difference between reputable outlets and disreputable outlets (like The Gateway Pundit) is that reputable outlets typically make an effort to vet their stories and correct falsehoods. Disreputable outlets run conspiracy theories with no vetting and generally don't worry about correcting the false or misleading information they post (hell, The Gateway Pundit hired Jacob Wohl; that says it all).

As I said, the burden of proof is on you to prove that the "leftist media" is no more accurate than Breitbart or The Gateway Pundit. You still haven't done that. What you're doing is akin to saying, "Look, Van Jefferson just dropped a pass. His hands are no better than mine because we both drop passes."

 

How so? I didn't read it that way at all. Just that it was the cause of the growth there.

 

I don't believe your statements have merit. No offense but you seem pretty excited by your position so bring em on! Show your cards! No need to keep repeating your line just show the facts. Mediation therapy begins in 1, 2 , 3....

 

I've made this comment before and already went through this and provided proof back then. So you guys do your own leg work.

 

Hey it looks like you been around here for a while, I don't know you or recall ever seeing any of your post until recently. When Trump was elected the false stories ran rapid on GC by the left, Several other and myself constantly pointed out after a few days the stories were proven completely false or grossly inaccurate by most of your so called reliable media and this went on for a while. So you guys go back and find it yourself

 

Lol, Yet comment better fits you.

 

That's a dumb comment and you can't prove they try to vet their stories any better. The burden of proof was already provided, just start going back from when Trump was elected and look at how many articles were proven false by the leftist media just by waiting a few days. They was in such a hurry to write anything negative about Trump they wasn't vetting crap.
Look I will never agree with you and most others on here about which media is more reliable.

 

No. Seeded referenced the introduction of the virus and early sites from elsewhere

 

Seems informative

Where U.S. coronavirus cases are on the rise

 

Did you read the article? If you did you missed this part

But now 26 days have passed since the state started to reopen — and that punishing new wave of infections has not materialized. In fact, according to a database maintained by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Georgia’s rolling seven-day average of new daily cases — an important metric that helps to balance out daily fluctuations in reporting — has fallen for three weeks in a row.

Those figures are undisputed — despite a clumsy effort by state officials to present the data in a way that made them look even better. And they are a lot better than the experience in two other states that are moving to end lockdowns, Florida and Texas.
