Now that Darryl is doing the polling analysis, I want to remind you that you are a participant in the system. and family. Seeing the polls can make the election seem like it’s a force of nature. But the good news is that you can make a difference. You can donate. You can make calls. You can write about the candidates online or a letter to the editor. Send a postcard to a voter. Talk to your friends.
You are also a participant in washing your hands so wash them right now.
If you were tested for the Wuhan and your result was negative, if you were tested with the Abbott assay you might really be infected.
The above is a press release directly from the FDA.
It’s fun, of course, to blame the Trump administration for insufficient testing. The thing is, first it was the CDC’s own test that sucked. As we move forward and all of the preliminarily approved tests are cross-checked against gold-standard results, we’ll probably see more problems with privately manufactured tests, which could be too many false-negatives or false-positives. It’s an expected result of being in such a hurry to increase testing that normally stringent approval standards are greatly relaxed.
I’m sure there is some way to blame Donald Trump or one of his family members for the problems in the Abbott test. Have at it.
Why not? Gore did.
This is the estimated case fatality rate for the Wuhan, through the end of April. As more testing is done, this will continue to fall. But I think we can all cut the crap about 5%+ fatality rates now. It’s been crap for quite awhile.
Results: After exclusions, there were 13 estimates of IFR included in the final meta-analysis, from a wide range of countries, published between February and April 2020. The meta-analysis demonstrated a point-estimate of IFR of 0.75% (0.49-1.01%) with significant heterogeneity (p<0.001). Conclusion: Based on a systematic review and meta-analysis of published evidence on COVID-19 until the end of April, 2020, the IFR of the disease across populations is 0.75% (0.49-1.01%).
So, 0.5% to 1%. Higher if you’re a senile, fat fuck living in squalid conditions, like Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit.
Don’t just wash your hands. Get some exercise, treat your catheters as the single-use for which they are intended, and clean out that shithole of an underground dwelling – it’s like an occluded, hypoxemic lung lobe down there.
I think it would be interesting to plot Trump’s re-election chances as determined by the HA analysis against, say, the inverse of the case fatality rate of the Wuhan over time. And against the inverse of the unemployment rate. And against the inverse of weekly new unemployment claims. Follow for the next six months.

Not even close butthole zero. The gold standard was drumpf picking up the phone the day after Mueller testified to Congress to make another tv actor president gin up a scandal about drumpf’s political rival.

Yup. But it’s out there, now, instead of 8-12 months from now after undergoing formal peer review. All of the authors’ names are attached to it, and they suffer professionally if their work is flawed. Anyone can comment on their work. In effect, they have submitted their work for global peer review, not just for evaluation by 2 or 3 anonymous colleagues who may have competing interests that may cause them to be overly critical and potentially suppress important information from being published.
While the information might not guide clinical practice, it may certainly guide public policy. Decision-makers may choose a different path for a disease that kills 5% of those it infects than it would for a disease that kills 0.5% of those it infects.
Had there been more information out there making it clear that people in nursing homes are at particular risk, for instance, might Governor Cuomo have decided differently about parking so many people infected with the Wuhan in his state’s nursing homes?
The Even Bigger Fucking Moron, you are free to make your own assessment of the information @ 3. That’s the whole point – so can everyone else, and they can do it now instead of after traditional peer review, resubmission, second review, editing, and then placement at the end of the publishing queue. Thanks for playing.
@ 20
After a gunshot to the head I think it’s no hat, not all hat.
Apparently Biden asked Abrams to be on MSNBC with him.
And apparently there was no reason for him to do so. It’s a one-minute clip, and watching her face as he prattles on and it becomes clear he’s not going to pick her is pretty fun TV.
I can stay locked down for as long as it takes.
I wonder how many of those who got the axe bragged online not long ago about donating somewhere and having their company match it.
Biden didn’t really do this. His staff explained that it wouldn’t be a good idea.
Although if you look @ 25 carefully at the latex gloves Biden’s wearing while out in public, you’ll notice that the right hand index and middle finger is missing.
Tara Reade knows why.
@1 “I’m sure there is some way to blame Donald Trump or one of his family members for the problems in the Abbott test. Have at it.”
Sez the troll who never gives Obama credit for doing things right, like having a pandemic response plan already in place for his successor to ignore.
I think that it will be interesting to follow Goldy over the next year or two, as he avoids any mention of increasing the minimum wage paid to restaurant workers.
Stick a fork in one in four restaurants.
That’s the dire assessment from OpenTable’s CEO, who predicts a quarter of the eateries that are now closed or that are only doing take out during the pandemic won’t be able to reopen again once this is over.
This is currently on the Working Washington site. I wonder how long it will remain in its present form:
If wages are to be tied to consumer demand, Working Washington, what should wages be after a quarter of the restaurants in Seattle close?
@2 Thanks, doc, for linking us to that article spelling out how absurd, irresponsible, and dangerous Republicans’ bullshit claims of “voting fraud” really are.
The article concludes, “Republicans who care about the republic must act now: They need to call out the president when he spreads lies and stokes fears about voter fraud that are rooted only in conservative mythology.”
So, if you’re a Republican who cares about the republic, you know what to do. Otoh, if you’re a pro-Putin saboteur bent on bringing down what the Founders created 220 years ago, you’ll go on being a dumbfuck.
@ 27
Obama Pandemic Response Plan
1. Scramble to replace all those masks that I never did.
@3 “But I think we can all cut the crap about 5%+ fatality rates now.”
If we follow the Swedish model now being touted by many Republicans, 5% is crap:
“As of Thursday, the Public Health Agency had recorded more than 28,500 cases of the coronavirus and more than 3,500 related deaths.”
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/lockdown-protesters-shout-be-sweden-swedes-say-they-are-missing-n1207566
3500 / 28500 = 12.3%
Of course this number could be lower if the Swedes are undercounting their cases because of no testing or whatever. However, I doubt that’s the case because on a per capita basis Sweden’s infection rate is rouhgly 50% higher than Washington’s and their death rate is 3 times Washington’s.
Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit @ 31
Sweden is testing at a rate slightly more than half the rate of the US:
Sweden’s per capita testing rate is 17.58 per 1,000 people, according to tracking by Statista. That’s relatively low compared with Norway’s, which is 37.86, and Iceland’s, at an impressive 160.44.
The US has tested 30.14 people out of every 1,000, according to Our World in Data.
Test more live people, you’ll find more infections, and your CFR will fall.
Sweden for some reason decided to make its nursing homes sitting ducks, and half of Sweden’s deaths have been nursing home deaths. Massachusetts has a similar problem, with 60% of its deaths in assisted living facilities, but otherwise the US death rate in nursing homes is far lower.
Sweden is an outlier.
If we follow the Swedish model …
Roger Dumbfuck Rabbit, no one is following the Swedish model. It’s why Sweden is an outlier.
@5 Puddy “sources”! Haw haw haw!!! John Solomon! Haw haw haw!!! Puddy must be desperate if he has to resort to “sources” like this:
“John F. Solomon is … a conservative political commentator. He was … a contributor to Fox News. He was formerly an executive and editor-in-chief at The Washington Times … he has in recent years been accused of magnifying small scandals and creating fake controversy. During the Presidency of Donald Trump he has been advancing Trump-friendly stories, and played an important role in advancing conspiracy theories about … Joe Biden, his son Hunter, and Ukraine; Solomon’s stories about the Bidens influenced Trump to request that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky launch an investigation into the elder Biden, which led to an impeachment inquiry.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Solomon_(political_commentator)

“and they suffer professionally if their work is flawed.”
Yup, Trump’s reputation with the professional medical establishment took a hit after he suggested injecting bleach before peer-reviewed studies of bleach injections were completed and published.
“Anyone can comment on their work.”
Yup, lots of doctors weighed in on Trump’s idea of injecting bleach, but I can think of a doctor who didn’t, possibly because he “may have competing interests that” will cause him to vote for Trump anyway. A talented comedian weighed in, too:

You are always saying the government shouldn’t spend tax dollars doing things that charities can do, and then I give to charity, and you get all upset anyway.
In your world view, do you see me as stupid for donating a part of my disposable money to a food bank?
Or are you triggered because I told that I donated to charity and made you feel guilty?
The Even Bigger Fucking Moron @ 40
The only thing you and your stupid comments make any of us feel is superior by comparison.
@28. It’s an puzzle all right.
A business model that pays close to a living wage and is staffed but can’t make a profit
or a business model that can’t attract enough legal workers to staff the restaurant so can’t make a profit.
The kind of people who will work for less than living wages, will leave the place the instant they get a slightly better job. Unless they are forced to stay or something. An employee could break the law and hire illegals for a lot less, but that would unethical.
If your business model requires indentured servant wages, it is not a viable business model.
Do you see it differently?

Sweden is a nation of white people doing everything right
Swedish statistics = Sweden is an outlier!
@51 Sweden’s statistics don’t look all that great to me. See #31 for details. Also, Sweden has something we don’t: Universal health care. Plus a much smaller population (less than Washington + Oregon), so they don’t need nearly as many doctors, nurses, and hospital beds.
Herd immunity is only useful to the survivors.

“A young black man filmed by a security camera walking through a home under construction in December and in February may have stopped at the site for a drink of water, according to an attorney for the homeowner thrust into the investigation of the fatal shooting of Ahmaud Arbery. …
“English has said nothing was ever stolen from his property. Graddy said his security cameras had recorded ‘numerous clips of persons entering the property’ and shared two clips that showed a pair of children riding bicycles up to the home and then walking inside. ‘There were frequently people on the construction site both day and night,’ attorneys for Arbery’s parents said in a statement Friday. ‘Ahmaud Arbery seems to be the only one who was presumed to be a criminal and ultimately the only one murdered based on that assumption.'”
https://komonews.com/news/nation-world/security-cam-video-raises-new-questions-in-ahmaud-arbery-shooting
Roger Rabbit Commentary: If I were a neighbor keeping an eye on a construction site, and I saw someone on the property, I’d call the property owner or the police; I wouldn’t confront the trespasser much less get a gun, get in a vehicle, and chase him down the street. In a town or city, where police are just minutes away, there’s absolutely no reason to take the law into your own hands. Vigilantes belong in jail, period.
Also, don’t forget that one of these vigilantes is a retired cop whose authority to make arrests was taken away from him while he was still an active duty cop. It’s ridiculous to argue that becoming a civilian gave him authority to make arrests that he didn’t have as a police officer.
And if you believe his claim that this “citizen’s arrest” wasn’t racially motivated, the next question is: Would he shoot kids on bikes, too?
Stupid troll @30…

“I usually come up short when I reach for words to describe the radicalization of the far right in America. This short video conveys it like no words can. Kevin Vesey, a reporter for News 12 Long Island, covered a reopening rally in Commack on Thursday. Vesey was harassed by a bevy of pro-Trump protesters who called him ‘fake news,’ a ‘traitor,’ and so on.
After he shared the video on Twitter and it went viral, Vesey followed up by saying, ‘I’ll probably never forget what happened today. I was insulted. I was berated. I was practically chased by people who refused to wear masks in the middle of a pandemic. All the while, I was there to tell THEIR story.’ He did, and he filed this fair report at the end of the day. Among the verbal arrows targeting Vesey: ‘You’re disgusting.’ ‘You are the virus.’ ‘You are the enemy of the people!’ ‘You shouldn’t be here.’ ‘Traitor!’ ‘F— you. You guys are f—ing fake news.’ Some of the taunts were very personal, reflecting the fact that Vesey is well known in the community: ‘Tell the truth, Kevin, come on.’ At one point the crowd chanted: ‘Fake news is not essential.'”

Somebody was talking about Georgia…
They reported a pretty bad day with almost 800 new cases and 44 deaths.
Now it is possible that increased testing is the sole reason for the increase but probably not a good sign that the new cases reported in now the third week from re-opening the bowling alleys has jumped over 1,000 (so far, full reporting will come by Monday.
GA, 5,000 New cases is great! Open it up.
One week, still feeling the effects of social Distancing and closures:
5,000 new cases. See it’s not climbing. Great!
two weeks, still feeling the effects of social distancing and closures
4,000 new cases, we’re there folks! It’s working!
Three weeks when post-reopening transmissions would be expected to start showing up
5,100 new cases. Nothing to worry about folks. It’s all because of more tests. No tests no disease as the President was saying. MAGA!
Probably a sphincter tightening weekend in the Governor’s mansion. If the number of confirmed new cases continues to rise…you probably fucked up.
@69 “Probably a sphincter tightening weekend in the Governor’s mansion. If the number of confirmed new cases continues to rise…you probably fucked up.”

“Clapper just conceded on CNN that “No, I did not” find evidence of Trump-Russia collusion.”
Butt wait butt wait, assesHorse DUMMOCRETIN fools claim Putin is the puppet master and Trump is the marionette. Wrong again!
Clapper been lying to the CNN public until today! Almost 3 years of crapper!
More of #84,
Puddy bets if I did more investigation of Georgia counties it would show most of the rest of the “new” cases are around libtard led counties and cities!
Money comes from banskters the buttspigot yells above. So Pelosi went to the banksters clueless buttspigot? Really?
Drinking the AOC kookaid huh?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Atlanta is a black city babblin’ butthole..
You sure hate black people.
Goodness me! It’s getting closer to sundown!
Puddy don’t hate black people yellowish leaking buttspigot. Puddy is proving the Atlanta Mayor’s call for continuing her city lockdown isn’t working to reduce new cases.
Butt keep leaning on being a fool!
Once again the senile idiot wabbit misses the point. South Carolina black man cares more about justice than Georgia’s favorite crybaby.
Get it straight senile idiot wabbit!
So Pelosi went to the banksters
Pelosi actually shows some caring towards ordinary people dumbass.
Your orange freak only cares about itself. Same as you and the rest of your freako tribe.
Damn.. Pete King actually had the stones to vote for the HEROES act.
HEROES? I like that!
Pooh from the butt is proving the Atlanta Mayor’s call for continuing her city lockdown isn’t working to reduce new cases.
So you’re saying a klownservatic like Tim Scott would re-open the city?
Fill up the drumpf bars! Host a gun show! Pack the stadiums with sheep for teh latest megachurch preacha sensation! BREATHE!!! EXHALE!!!
Damn! You not only hate black people, you out flat want to exterminate them..
Sundown is only minutes away!
Probably the kind of thing the Government should have been throwing money and technological resources at in March when the death toll was nearing 10,000 and I was setting my hair on fire to get your attention but Mid May and 90,000 dead is better than nothing.
Slightly better.
Excellent handling of the situation, Sir.
Trump fires another watchdog.

Roger Rabbit Commentary: He still thinks he can run the U.S. government like a privately-held family business (he’s wrong). To the rest of us, it says he’s corrupt and is hiding something.
@86 “Puddy bets if I did more investigation of Georgia counties it would show most of the rest of the “new” cases are around libtard led counties and cities!”
Absolutely! Covid-19 is a conservative assassin sent here by China to stalk and kill liberals!
@90 You care more about justice than three Georgia prosecturos, and that’s all that matters on HA!
I rarely approve of or compliment Jay for anything, (and, yes, I’m probably late with the news, but I do have a life) but KUDDOS to Jay for walking back his egregious plan, which no one would have obeyed or would have decided the hell with eating out
Clearly he sees what the sycophants don’t: people are fed up, they want their lives, their livelihoods, their privacy, their FREEDOM back. They want to be treated like the adults they are, adults who make good decisions in their own best interest and that of others.
I read an article today, with which I wholeheartedly agree:
YOU can decide what risk you are willing to take – that’s FREEDOM.
I can decide what risk I’m willing to take – that’s FREEDOM.
YOU can wear a mask, walk one-way down a grocery aisle or stay home and order groceries if you choose, you can wear gloves and bathe every object with which you come in contact, and yourself, in Purell, if it calms you – that’s the FREEDOM to which you are entitled.
I can choose NOT to do any of those things or some of those things – that’ the FREEDOM to which I am entitled.
As long as you are given the space to live your freedom, I shouldn’t have to – and I won’t – give up my freedom.
I made masks for the hospital at which a family member works. I made masks for my family. I made masks until I could no longer find elastic for them. I will NOT voluntarily wear a mask. I can’t go into Costco unless I do. I’m OK with not going into Costco.
Right now the “suggestion” in King County is to wear masks outside the house. When it becomes mandatory, I will buy the thinnest, lightest fabric I can, and, rather than a double layer pleated mask, I will make and wear a single layer non-pleated mask to comply with the letter of the security theater, the same security theater about which most people scream and complain when talking about TSA procedures. Ridiculous all.
83,
The Q Clearance Pussy has been consistently dead wrong about the medical science surrounding the pandemic since early in March, when of course being right mattered most.
I decided back when it was pushing tonic waters to ignore anything it cares to pass along recommending its latest malaria drugs, aquarium cleaners, or rectal flashlights. If it ever manages to stumble across some information that isn’t wrong, I’m pretty confident it will be the last to do so and that news will be widely available elsewhere.
Death rate, the basic reproduction rate, and the effective reproductive rate are all very different things that all interact dynamically in a real population and the potential for herd immunity. The kind of optimistic cocktail napkin calculation it’s arguing for will absolutely get people killed. And I’m pretty confident that’s what it’d like to see, so it can blame that on the nearest hippie as well.
Nihilistic death fantasies have been a consistent part of its characteristic pattern for as long as I’ve been watching.
@97 I’d pay money to follow you through Army boot camp. You’d set a new world record for most pushups.
Meanwhile, here’s some light reading for you:
https://townhall.com/columnists/erichreimer/2018/07/04/freedom-vs-liberty–whats-the-difference-n2496872
Oh. And the sign over the barracks door says: “Freedom is not free.” Someone shed blood for your freedom, so at least try to be a good man and live a good life; that’s the least you can do for them.
@97 One more thought: Suicide is a selfish act. Before exercising your freedom, think of those you’re leaving behind.
@97. So it’s Freedom to not wear a mask, even though the person might be spreading the disease and killing others.
by that logic, that same person would argue it’s Freedom to wear a plutonium infused vest in public. It’s their RIGHT to be FREE to risk having the radiation from the plutonium kill them and it’s not their fault else if the radiation kills anyone else they are around. Because Freedom.
101,
Were the “playful” teens who burned down the Columbia Gorge exercising “freedom”?
It’s not freedom. It’s “The Boogaloo”.
Ask anyone who has ever been there and they won’t hesitate to tell you, war is the exact opposite of freedom.
@101 Don’t confuse freedom with freedumb. Not the same.
P.S., I’m glad we have a governor who has the spine to tell idiots to “SHUT UP AND SIT DOWN!”
Old saying: “Your freedom to swing your fist stops where my nose starts.”
That’s basically the foundation principle of all public health regulations. It can take other forms, such as “you have no right to breathe in my face, cough on me, get within six feet of me,” etc., but you get the idea. Some people don’t, though.
Those people are wrong on so many levels. They don’t even realize their imposition on the rest of us. They don’t think.
And then there’s the little matter of their medical bills. Unless they pay them out of their own pocket, someone else is paying for their reckless behavior. Do they still have a “right” to go out in public, refuse to take precautions, get sick, then make me pick up the tab? I take issue with that.
Those people are wrong on so many levels. They’re too selfish to realize they’re imposing on others. They don’t think.

“Daily covid/covfefe update: A simple, capitalist/market solution to protests against “oppressive” closures of public gatherings like bars and church services? It’s called insurance. Let such groups buy policies to remediate any subsequent outbreaks… so long as they gather names/ addresses of participants/ parishioners/ customers for contact tracing, if their event endangers the public with a flareup.
Note: except for random compliance audits, the state won’t get that info, only the proprietor. If you’re so sure it’s safe, then convincing an insurance company to give reasonable rates should be a cinch, especially since many are run by Republican moguls.
Hey! Don’t trust government bureaucrats? Then do it the market way! And let your insurance company be the ones insisting on masks and spacing. (They will!)”
David Brin is a great writer, and takes great delight in finding logical free market solutions that republicans then reject because republicans are hypocrites.
A tale of two Billionaires:
Musk:
“Open my factories or I’ll take my ball and go home.”
Cuban:
“ It’s time for trickle up economics. We need a transitional fed jobs program that trains and hires millions for a federal tracking/tracing/testing program as well as for support for at risk populations including long term care. We need to dent unemployment with stable jobs”
I see piddles has transitioned from linking to rabid Conservative ‘news’ sites and their opinion pages to individual conservatives on Twitter.
Say, about those new cases in GA. Almost 500 today with one more update this evening still to come. Feel free to lie about the numbers but Jesus is watching, Piddles.
