    The link had a spreadsheet with the data breakdown. The only real hole is hospitalization. The rest of the (useful) data in that link looks very close to other sites. That is all I am saying.

    Actually some of the insults hurled at him have broken more rules than his conspiracy theory has.

    I don't know about 2000, but there's at least one confirmed COVID patient who's been on life support in my Bay area hospital for the past ~10 days. I know there are a bunch more at SF General as well. So no, definitely not zero.

    Why, they go right over his head and everyone has including yourself. He couldn't care less about facts and data. That is not why he is here. He is here to spread his disinformation and run his conspiracy theories.

    I think we've made it to the end of the first quarter :) Three more of these, and we should be about done with it. Hopefully we don't go to overtime.

    I think it is very possibly a chatbot. Not kidding

    Our deaths per capita is too low right now to calculate a trend. Look at the deaths/day graphs for other countries. When they were at our per capita rate the numbers fluctuated up and down for a few days before skyrocketing. When incidences are low, the stats are simply too prone to be influenced by chance variations.

    Sadly, if I'm right, then within 3 days we should enter the skyrocketing phase.

    Yep, we have already met "yesterday's" (defined by GMT) death total by 4:00 AM GMT. Mostly because that huge rush of reports came in right after the deadline.

    I laughed because while I don't think he is a chatbot one could come pretty close to replicating his posts. They’re all fairly devoid of substance, just reiterating a few conspiracy talking points.

    It would seem the board would be better served if the majority of the people just put him on ignore and perhaps he would then find some other board to post his propaganda on

    And it is fairly certain that there are many deaths related to covid19 that are not being reported as such since they were never confirmed to be due to covid19

    Your "joke" and subsequent disclaiming attempt (Jk) to deny its insulting implication is perhaps more a projective indication of your own attitude towards those you oppose. This is not a red state/blue state/ lib vs con issue. It's a life or death issue. Your "joke" offends me.

    FTR Fever was right about the death count. He nailed the number. Deaths and total cases down. This is not compounding like some said...at least not yet. That is even with more resting being done.
    I will be optimistic until I need to not be.

    I do see today is off to a bad start though.

    The statisticians aren't as optimistic as you are:

    Chinas numbers are garbage. Plenty of reports that they are not accurate

    okay then...I.have searched and apparently my browser cannot locate your stated "plenty of reports" quote. Over and over I put in "plenty of reports", "reports a plenty" and yet nothing. Please provide links to those "plentiful" sites.

    Link or no link, I think he's right. China hasn't been honest from the beginning. Why believe they are now? Now, that doesn't mean the people of China are to blame. It's the government I don't trust.
