Wolf must have listened to me about how dumb his idea was and did NOT reinstate a 2 week lockdown on bars and restaurants in surrounding areas of Allegheny County despite telling the leaders he intended to on Wednesday. The girl gets to have her wedding tomorrow. That said, Kennywood, Idlewild, and Sandcastle all opened yesterday... And are now sued.

A woman who has diagnosed anxiety and a child who has diagnosed autism were denied entry for not having masks. They explained their issues and were forced to leave causing a freak out by the child. Suing them for failing to comply to accomodations to their disabilities under the ADA.

Fucking disgusting and yet another impeachable offense. With this, Trump is effectively making himself above the law by having his goon Roger Stone do illegal activity on his behalf and then stay silent in exchange for Trump abusing his commutation power.


It's funny seeing these posts back to back showing a damned no matter what he did mentality by you all. Lol.

Also... There is precedence I suppose.

McDougal's pardon came just one day after the Whitewater investigation was closed down under a deal in which Clinton gave up his law license and admitted make false testimony under oath in the Monica Lewinsky in return for prosecutor agreeing not to indict him.
"She's absolutely delighted," said her lawyer, Mark Geragos. "She is speechless for once in her life. And I think it is especially poignant that it was one of the last acts of Bill Clinton's administration."
McDougal went to prison rather than testify in the Whitewater investigation.
Convicted at a 1996 trial where Clinton testified in her defense, McDougal remained an unabashed supporter of the president, appearing on national television in her orange prison jumpsuit to insist that Clinton never engaged in illegal loans or other improper conduct as prosecutors in Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr's office sought to prove.
Her former husband, failed Arkansas savings and loan operator James McDougal, also was convicted at the same trial but took a markedly different path. He chose to cooperate with Starr's office and implicated the Clintons in wrongdoing before his sudden death in prison.
Susan McDougal never wavered, embarking on a campaign to portray Starr, a Republican, as politically motivated, on a "personal vendetta" to pursue the Clintons and disinterested in the truth. Starr and his staff repeatedly denied those allegations.

I rarely did any of those before the pandemic.

My typical leisure activities were going to sports events (I have season tickets), going to bars (or friends houses / having them over), going to the cinema and theater, going to parks for walks or to play tennis/etc and going to restaraunts.

Sports events - Not allowed
Cinema - Not allowed
Theater - Not allowed
Restaraunts - Most of the ones we went to are still takeout only
Bars - Nobody to really go with and I'll likely avoid for a while at least (I maily went to watch sports with a friend)
Parks / Sports - No cost and could still do these during the pandemic anyway (well Tennis was shut off until late May)
Friends houses / My house - I guess buying beer and food kinda helps the economy when I do this
So Florida isn't as open as people are acting then.

Like where? Most of the places I went pre-pandemic are either still off limits or weren't affected in the first place. I guess it would make it more feasible to go to the bar but my friends haven't had it so the risk would be on them rather than me. Easier just to have them at my house at that point.

I'll probably infrequently meet friends either at my house or theirs I guess but at this point of the pandemic, I would have likely done that regardless of getting it. No large gatherings or anything. I also work with all but one of the friends I would meet and am in rooms with them on a daily basis once I return to work on the 27th. So I'm not sure meeting them at a house is any higher risk than being with them at work.

Nope. I've tried a couple of times without much luck. I even had an appointment but they closed the clinic down without telling people or cancelling appointments.
Like malls, restaurants, mini golfing, bowling, etc. Things that help spur the economy?

The problem is that people need to make a living wage in the first place because they determined what people need to live and the UBI is what they sent and the fact that its vastly more than a lot of people make is criminal and the solution shouldnt be to lower the UBI it should be to make a required payable livable wage all the time. Corporations are getting literally billions that they dont need and people are concerned that random folks are getting 2000 which is a lot more than some of those people have ever even seen.
They wouldn't have been talking about not extending it if it wasn't broken in the first place. It made workers resentful. I told you when Mnuchin made the idea at the beginning it was broken and was going to cause problems.

The budget commission did agree it would cause problems.

I just don't think it's factually accurate to say we're all fucked for something that the vast majority of people are either going to fully recover from or not even realize they had it in the first place.

I've personally had it and it was shitty. I also think the number of reported cases is way lower than whatever is out there because getting tested in most places is miserable which again I know first hand from how many attempts and how much time I had to waste trying to get a test. It honestly wouldn't surprise me if the number of cases is 10x higher than what is reported.

I don't want people to get it and I follow all the correct guidelines but I also think that statements like 'We're all fucked' just isn't the reality. There is an extreme minority of people who it is going to be incredibly bad for and there is the going to be the extreme majority where it will have little to no effect.

I don't disagree with disclosing stuff. I am asking why your anti-government privacy stances change when it comes to a political target. You say the president isn't above the law but then in the same breath say that a president hopeful should be held to a higher standard. It doesn't seem consistent to me.

The President of the United States should be held to a higher standard than an average citizen, given that his financial dealings can have direct impacts on how the country is governed as a whole. It's the entire reason the emoluments clause exists, though fuck if the GOP-controlled Senate and formerly GOP-controlled Congress gave a shit about that.
I believe the thought process is that any citizen running for president should be required to disclose their tax returns. Why is that citizen different than any others in that scenario?

Thank God for some sense of sanity.
Other than personal reasons, why would you want the government to be able to force you to give information over to Congress? Isn't that against the usual mantra of not giving away your privacy? I see people complain when apps are info gathering, complain if a device listens on your phone calls, and so on. Yet, now you are for forcing a citizen to hand over information that they might want to keep private.

And, trust me. If you say my usual phrase that I use when I say I am okay with a surveillance state "what's it matter unless you have something to hide" then I am gonna call you a hypocrite.

From the horrible Bloomberg piece: https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2020-07-07/a-lower-covid-19-death-rate-is-nothing-to-celebrate



It's like they think we can't even read. Take a second and actually look at the graphs. In the first wave, cases reached their peak on April 10. Deaths then peaked on April 17- seven days later. Not two weeks. Not four weeks. Not eight weeks. SEVEN DAYS.

The "second wave" of rising cases started on June 13. Therefore, we would expect deaths to start rising in a similar proportion seven days later, on June 20. What were deaths doing on June 20? Trending down, at their lowest level since the spike, continuing to do so for another five days before a slight blip up (something weird with the statistics must have been going on there), which quickly corrected and then the downward trend continued.

This article, warning us that "deaths lag cases" was published on July 7 - a full 24 days away from when cases started skyrocketing. Deaths are still trending down.
Yes but it is declining where it should be rising based on cases

I stop short of calling it common sense because it shouldn't be.

The actual residents should have the common sense that shutting bars down = drink at home, not "Just go to somewhere where they're not shut down."

It only becomes "common" sense because the populace is so full of selfish, stupid people that you now have to expect a lot of people to be, well, selfish and stupid.
Nobody trusts our governor after he said restaurants can't serve you a beer with your food at a restaurant but can any other drink.

He has made so many head scratching moves that even the most liberal of people are still going "huh, this doesn't make sense".

You put orders that don't make sense with orders that compete with convenience to people and they don't go with the intended result because they no longer trust you.

I mean, I live in Fayette County that is unaffected, and I have been to a bar twice since reopening and a restaurant once. But, I do know this will push more cases into my county now because I am not a fucking idiot and know how people behave. Lol.

You have Levine up there saying kids have to wear masks during sporting events like she never played a sport in her life so can't understand why that's not a good idea.

You got wolf up there shutting down single counties. Like, my Facebook right now (I live in a tri county area of Washington, Westmoreland, and Fayette) is all abuzz of them naming Fayette bars to go to coming up when they close Washington and Westmoreland bars and restaurants tomorrow. Lol.

Like, a little common sense by the ones running the government would be nice.

Then you got UPMC saying yeah we got more cares but our hospitals have never really been more ready and empty due to Coronavirus and hospitalizations are down.

Per Wikipedia, there are only 6 states in the US that have at least one city of over 1M residents. Here they are, along with their deaths per capita:

New York (1659)
California (163)
Illinois (571)
Arizona (249)
Texas (94)
Pennsylvania (532)

Among those states, you can easily see that Texas has far and away the best outcomes. It's not even close. But sure, keep insisting that Texas is the woefully mismanaged state with all the problems.
From what I understand, PA and NY are so high because they ordered nursing homes to take covid-19 patients and wiped out a lot in nursing homes. I think like 90% of deaths in PA is from nursing homes. Which again they ordered the patients into, all while Levine was removing her grandmother from them for her safety

He didn't really care for them but his fiancee wanted one so they booked it and spent the money because he wants her to have what she wants / makes it his own dream himself for her. It being cancelled and refunded wouldn't be the worst because with everything going on in the world his fiancee doesn't care THAT much (with all the world situation qualifiers) and would just elope. However, they want to have the wedding because it was her dream (in a normal world) and they won't have refund and cancel (the vendors) but simply move dates so they feel obligated to spend the money well. His fiancee cries about the wedding because she wanted one but the Coronavirus things in life are making it difficult. However, she also feels the obligation regarding the spending the money well on the wedding because her parents already spent the money.

I mean Spain has around a 10% mortality rate so it's quite clear they are either only testing vulnerable people or people who are quite sick. The adjustment puts the mortality rate at just under 1% which is more in line with the 0.3%-1% death rate that's been estimated...
Estimate is pretty much at .4% to .65% now I believe. Again, this is an at least number because again Antibodies for tests disappear relatively quickly but immunity remains. Though of course this varies greatly by your age range itself.

For example, we know the US is catching more cases than Spain caught, but if not, we would be around 10%+ infected right now and not just about 1%. Herd immunity and natural social distancing would be very possible.

Okay, well this would have been nice to say, you know, when we were actually asking you about it. You didn't. At all.

Your direct reply:

Like, I'm fully willing to apologize if you 100%, legitimately, truthfully were looking forward to this dream wedding, and had to postpone it/cancel it/whatever. But you, in no way, actually expressed that, and continued to not express it even as people continued to question you on it.
I don't think you are reading intent well there.

Okay this is CNN so I want to unpack from the actual article and just focus on the numbers.

5% of the population has antibodies. Let's start there.

Spain's population is like 47-50 million.

Spain has approximately 250k confirmed cases.

For 5% of their population to have antibodies... It means that 2.35 million people in Spain have had the virus.

Now, we also have another study that says antibody presence to tests fades quickly but that the immunity remains achieved within tcells regardless of antibodies showing.

Thus, there may be even MORE than this amount that have had the virus.

So 2.35 million+ and 250k confirmed cases. That means only 10.6% of the cases were confirmed that existed (at most). Thus for every confirmed case likely another 9 went undiagnosed.

At least.

I say this as a former Warren supporter, but if anyone was getting really favorable coverage, it wasn't Biden. It was people like Warren and Harris and Klobuchar et al. I'd say that if I had to guess the "collective media's" second least favorite democratic candidate, it would be Joe Biden (although obviously still miles ahead of Sanders).

I am very pessimistic, yes, and I fully admit that! That second map seems totally reasonable, but I would put better odds on Trump winning than I would that first map being true!
1st map is likelier the outcome. Ohio goes red. Florida, NC, Arizona go blue. PA Mich and Wisconsin blue.

I think you could argue new York and New Jersey might be at functional here immunity, in that they cannot possible rise high enough to overwhelm hospitals anymore at this point. At least parts of them. I don't think anyone questions that many more cases existed than were caught.

If the explanation is poverty, why are so many nations that are abysmally and shockingly poor, compared to the US, doing so much better?

India's numbers are a couple orders of magnitude better than ours. Is it because they have better living conditions? Less poverty? Better jobs? More working from home?
They test less than us.

hard to work from home and self quarantine with that. and before you counter with it being a decision they can make, well, for a lot of people they can't just not work

well there's my monthly post in the politics topic
and i wasted it on replying to smartmuffin =(
Yeah, African-americans and latin-americans get it more readily due to lower income households. Projects with shared ventilation is bad. They are less likely to follow the news and congregate. Also, can't just not work or work from home as an option.

CNN is trying so hard to create as much fear as possible.
