I know personal responsibility has been thrown out there. I've seen it, I've expressed that myself in this thread. I've also seen people say they would be more depressed if they lost their job vs close family members. The 74000 deaths model is called the do-nothing model for a reason. I am just pointing out that the 74,000 deaths is realistic given the assumptions used to make it.

Manitoba could institute lockdown after lockdown until a safe vaccine is in play. They obviously value prolonging human life over their economy if they are locking down for a second time when having less than 1000 positive tests daily. This to me means that they may have a target to never let COVID spike out of control in their province.

Maybe so, maybe not. The question is at what cost and to what benefit? Does one out weigh another in the point of view of their countrymen?

That's exactly what many of you have been proposing for a while, that we want to let the virus be virus, no precautions, no personal responsibility, no freedoms suppressed, let it spread to everyone willy nilly. That is the basis for the model you continually mock, yet it sounds like you agree that we would easily reach 74,000 deaths if those conditions were met.

I take you to be a smart guy so I'll pose a simple math problem to you. There are 800,000 people 65+ in Minnesota. If we let them all get covid, how many of them will die based on current mortality rates? https://www.health.state.mn.us/diseases/coronavirus/stats/covidweekly44.pdf

Logistically, Manitoba only needs to lock down and provide support to one city to keep the virus in check. And it looks like they are going to lock down province wide for about a month now. https://www.grandforksherald.com/newsmd/coronavirus/6758587-As-Manitoba-locks-down-North-Dakota-doctors-call-for-business-closures

Covid entered Manitoba within days of it entering North Dakota. Manitoba also a city which has a population equivalent to that of the entire population of North Dakota. COVID should have already been disastrous to their city. So what have they done up until this point in time to reduce spread and impact of COVID on their people if they started at the same time? Yes it is fair to assume if they gave up on their preventative measures, the human spirit running dry on not seeing friends and family, abandoning their safety protocols, etc that their COVID cases per capita would skyrocket out of control and be worse than ND. But as it stands right now, that is not the case I was just going by the Worldometers Covid stats. Which tracks tests of individuals and not of tests total (which includes students who test multiple times). https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/

For the fraud lawsuit against Pennsylvania, Trumps lawyer were unable to provide any evidence of fraud nor any truthful allegations of fraud. Trump's lawyer was unwilling to perjure himself and lose his license, so the case was thrown out. https://lawandcrime.com/2020-election/lawyers-litigating-for-trump-suddenly-remember-their-licenses-are-on-the-line-if-they-lie-to-a-judge/

Don't put words in my mouth. You framed the 9 deaths as a big deal, not me. Manitoba has twice the population of ND, one-fourth the deaths of ND, for roughly the same testing per capita. This means you are eight times more likely to die in ND from covid than you are in Manitoba at this point in time.

One party deterred people from voting with some methods. The other party encouraged every eligible voter to vote with whatever voting method they had available to them in their state. The party that deterred a portion of the populace from voting lost the election. The only remaining path to victory for the party that deterred people from voting is to call widespread fraud. Regardless of any proof or evidence, it is now their only path to victory, so they must pursue it at all costs.

The deadliest day for their entire province is only 9 deaths?

Carries up to a $1500 fine or 30 days in jail. State law says county health officers can issue any order to stop the spread of an infectious disease.

If Trump promoted mail in voting to all eligible US citizens or had a more compassionate response to COVID like President GWB did, I believe he would have won the election.

A rigged election is an election in which Trump does not win the electoral college or popular vote. Just look at the 2016 election, in which Trump called the election rigged and full of fraud even before a single vote was cast. And when he won the "rigged election", he stilled call the election rigged, but he called it rigged because he lost the popular vote. After winning, he even assembled a task force to launch an investigation into said voter fraud, which found no such evidence of massive voter fraud. https://www.bbc.com/news/election-us-2016-37673797 https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2016-election/tweet-flurry-president-elect-donald-trump-calls-recount-efforts-sad-n688761 https://www.fox29.com/news/report-trump-commission-did-not-find-widespread-voter-fraud

Dems spent hundreds of millions, if not billions on this years election cycle, only to lose seats in the house and maintain a minority in the senate. To me this means fraud didn't happen and that people overwhelming voted against the man and not the party. Calling fraud will lead to scrutiny of these house/senate results too, which is probably why many are distancing themselves from that message.

Does this make GWB a liberal?

I didn't see any dates or timestamps in the video you posted that would indicate they were posted within 24 hours of one another. That would change what I think. But then again, we live in a digital age. If they have access to ratings and a recent article featuring the word gravitas had 25% more shares/click than similar messages, it is a single word that would be easy to adopt and slip into a message to improve your clicks/shares.

If an engineer puts out a best practice that is proven to work, be reliable, and lower costs, it will likely end up being adopted by majority of engineers. If the word gravitas was shown to have major positive pull for most demographics, I would not doubt it being over used by any and every outlet that paid to have access to that information.

I know media outlets and commercial television shows have always used focus groups to gauge how to best present their content to gain the largest audience. My guess would be a focus group likely found the word gravitas to be associated with a higher form of prestige and deemed those who used the word as much more trustworthy compared to other words. That or the illuminati stepped in.

It's very difficult to win an election vs an incumbent president. The conditions under which Trump has been elected haven't really changed, ie Trump hasn't gotten marginally worse since taking the presidency. He's the same old unconventional loud dude. So I don't expect the election results to change by much unless voters mobilize. I'm hoping for historical voter turnouts, no matter which party wins

Here is what I found as of Wednesday 8/19 via the NHL stats page. Red means the team/player has been knocked out.
