Schools staying closed, per Tate and his custom jacket

I don’t live in Mississippi (miss it every day) but most of my family still does. They’re a pretty conservative bunch, and almost unanimously do not approve of Tate. Is he gonna be a one-term guy?
It's a follow-the-leader thing. Many don't even know why they don't like him, but they heard it somewhere so here come the torches and pitchforks.
I don't love him, and I'm not sure how many great things he will end up doing, but he won't do many things wrong either.
The left hates him because he didn't shut things down soon enough. The right hates him for shutting them down too long. I'm more irritated that he (and others) caved to the left, which involved flip-flopping from 'its not a big deal' to 'its life threatening'.
I mean 25,000 people have died from this over the last six weeks in the US alone. All politics aside, to me, that's the very definition of "life threatening." Anybody who doesn't take that position at this point is a moron.
Think what the number would be if they weren’t fudging the numbers. Anybody who says they aren’t at this point is a moron.
With the way the data is being recorded the numbers are being fudged to be lower than they actually are, not higher. But keep on with your conspiracies.
New York added their probable cases today which shot their state alone into the 5 digits
What good does fudging our own numbers do us? I assume you are suggesting that we(the US) are putting out numbers below the actual numbers. The CDC putting out numbers less than what they really are only makes the public think this isn’t as serious as it really is. Thus tempting them to go back to little to no social distancing which would lead to more spreading of the virus.
The numbers are under reported because people dying before they can be tested are being listed as other causes of deaths. It’s not a conspiracy theory.
Evidently you didn’t read the post I was replying to. I’m not the one that said we were FUDGING the numbers. Believing that we are fudging our numbers is the perfect example of a conspiracy.
1- I don't think that was accurate even at the end of March. It obviously isn't accurate now.
2- Please explain why you chose to post this. What is your point?
When I saw Taters conference with his Governor Jacket on, all I could think of was The Gov in Blazing Saddles!

This thread is so awesome. It is a great reminder that when you are arguing with people on any topic, half the people in the argument will believe any fake news as long as it is in a fancy chart with numbers showing what they want them to be.
That chart is so comical.

We are overestimating deaths, not under. Dr Birx said if someone dies that has tested positive, covid is the automatic cause of death.
In fact, NY just added 3000+ Covid deaths yesterday of ppl hat had never been tested at all, but were presumed to be positive.
My only assumption is that we're going to use the death toll as leverage against China but that's just a guess.

If someone has Covid but gets run over by a truck I can see your point... but in the real world we are underestimating deaths.
The hospitals are getting government funding assistance in dealing with Covid patients and deaths. It is becoming lucrative for hospitals to find a way to code admissions and deaths with Covid.
Most non metro area hospitals are hurting financially right now, so seems logical that they would err on the side of over reporting.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^This^^^^^^^^^^ The more Covid Deaths, The more $$$$$ for the Hospital
its simple...if deaths from heart disease, COPD, and cancer are deviating significantly from the mean, which i believe they are, there is an overestimation of COV19 mortality. its all going to be very apparent if numbers are being fudged or not. the data will show exactly what is happening. around 7500 people die every day in the US from non-COV19 reasons. it will all be fleshed out statistically and only then will we know what exactly is happening.
they are fudging the numbers UP...in case you haven't figured out, there is a financial incentive to code everything to the Wuhan virus... because all costs associated with the virus are paid by the federal government, cities and states who were cash strapped before the virus are in even worse shape now without sales tax and use tax revenue. So anyone with symptoms is being coded as a Wuhan virus patient especially in New York, New Jersey, Michigan, and Illinois ..those states account for almost 2/3 of the deaths....if you can't see that. YOU are the moron....
You might want to re-think your position there slick. Ignorance reins supreme.
Hospitals have had huge reductions in volume because of COVID-19 cancellation of procedures. Also, oddly enough, even ER visits are down. People are scared to go to hospitals and clinics now.
Very true. Less than 0.3% of the population has contracted COVID. The odds that someone would die in an ICU bed and confirmed to have COVID, and it not having any aggravating impact to their eventual death are infinitesimally small. It’s not so complicated really. Did person test positive for COVID and was their cause of death strongly correlated to respiratory complications? If the answer to both is “yes”, then it’s a COVID death.
That's because many people in our population and many of those that don't like being documented go to the ER with the sniffles in normal times. Sniffles ain't worth getting Covid.
