So what you're really saying is that in the future all candidates will use this election as precedent and simply stay in their basements, saying as little as possible, seeing almost nobody, and answering no questions at all.

Covid Donnie is only losing to his own stupidity because incumbent POTUS have only failed to win re-election three times in the last century: Herbert Hoover in 1932, Jimmy Carter in 1980, and George HW Bush in 1992. All of them failed to deal with crises, just as Covid Donnie has failed to deal with the coronavirus. Unlike Hoover, Carter, and Bush, however, Covid Donnie has chosen to pretend the pandemic isn't a problem. You underestimate Biden as a candidate, however. His quiet, sensible demeanor is the perfect foil for Covid Donnie, and it has struck a chord with voters overwhelmed by the pandemic and its attendant economic misery. He's the voice and image of competence and reality versus Covid Donnie's bombastic claims that the coronavirus is "no big deal" and is "going away" and that the economy is "great".

Thanks for the laugh. He's an embarrassment. There's a reason Biden never got to first base in any of his prior attempts at the nomination, in years when the Democrats hadn't been hijacked by far-left lunatics. So yeah, I get why the party defaulted to him in the face of the horrifying alternatives, but let's not pretend that suddenly makes him more than the puppet he is now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re aware that this is a big country right? The upper plains states are now taking their turn as the virus has gotten into that population. No amount of preventive mask wearing was going to stop it, but the peak of infection will subside there as well in a few weeks just like it has everywhere else in America. Relax!

All_Pro_Bills Posted October 31, 2020 Share Posted October 31, 2020 6 minutes ago, Kemp said: Without reading the study my first thought is that unless they performed accurate and measurable contact tracing they must be making big assumptions to draw that conclusion. My guess is something like identifying the location of the rally and then measuring the level of infection in that location over time and assigning causality to any increase in the numbers to the event. That doesn't prove anything. So count me skeptical as with all things lately the core objective is more political than scientific in nature. I expect its a statistical certainty the people doing the study are Biden supporters which establishes expectation bias from the start. I work in health care analytics and have access to billions of data records of all kinds. EHR, claims, Rx, providers, hospitals, labs, procedure and diagnosis records. You name it. And I say this with confidence, we have much more information and data than anyone at Stanford. We've performed numerous de-identified COVID studies, reports, and statistical analysis's for client companies and government agencies. And while general studies can illustrate distribution and spread patterns of the outbreak to date there is no validated study by anyone that has identified specific events that have traced forward to identify the pattern and level of the outbreak. To do this you need rigorous contact tracing data which I am certain is not available for the rally events. The lesson with studies is you can conclude most anything you want but when applying general statistical principals and testing the assumptions most fall flat on their backside. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
