I heard the winner has a body that just doesn’t quit.

Maybe someone will come out with a new show. America’s Top Covid Model.

They should conduct a poll asking if people think polling is essential.

In summary: There are too many variables and too many unknowns to allow us to provide any accurate information other than to encourage the strictest of social distancing measures. Once there is enough hard data available and the trend becomes obvious, our models will also make sense, and not produce erratically variable daily results.

One? Lol.

Simple. It’s Trump's fault.

Exactly. His/her posts are devoid from reality. But hey I guess if everyone was able to permanently stay at home in a cocoon of bubble wrap, maybe every single outbreak could be avoided.

When essential businesses have a number of cases, they are shutting down to help slow down the number of cases at once. (Hint- the business is shutting down AFTER it has a number of employees testing positive.) Or would you have preferred all essential businesses being shut down for the last month, resulting in no food, no power, no water, no sewage plant operation, no emergency services available, etc? How would that have gone over?

It's not preventable.

I think people are arguing two different points here. Some are saying the modeling thus far is useless as it changes dramatically every day. I don't think those same people are questioning the capability of the epi's; they're just questioning the value of their current info. Others like yourself are taking great offense to this. For what reason, I have no idea. Providing useless info over and over again will eventually result in lost confidence, and people will respect their info about as much as the boy who cried wolf.

So if the models usefulness currently can be described as "not very", what is the point of constantly defending their results? Instead of the roller coaster of calm and fear they are currently providing, why don't they just wait with the announcements until they can provide some useful stats with a margin of error something less than 1000's of percent?

So if the believed infectious rate numbers are possibly off by 5000%, what good are the models?

When is it? ( thanks to Corona I can’t afford to pay to subscribe to the forum anymore)

And there’s plenty of room in the Fargodome for that one old dude to get well.

Even after new York decided to lump all unattended deaths into the covid category, the total deaths are still trending well below the early doomsday estimates.

Not to speak for him, but if I recall Cratter never believed the doomsday death projections. It's looking like he was correct.

It's almost as if the U.S. epicenter of the virus decided to call all deaths corona related, regardless of any evidence...

If only running a meat processing plant was as easy as playing with ping pong balls...

Maybe I'm alone on this, but I don't ever recall getting horny opening a container of margarine.

How do you know this?

Can you explain why other plants in other states not run by Republican governors are also experiencing outbreaks in their large meat processing plants? Could you point me to the scientific study proving that cutting capacity to 50% would’ve prevented the spreading of the virus? I’ll hang up and listen.

Hopefully the industry can work together and reroute to other plants that can hopefully handle the extra workload. I've heard slaughter weight piggies are in limbo in many barns right now, getting a little fatter. Unfortunately it's creating a bottleneck on piglets heading to those barns.

Again Nostradamus, you have all the answers now. Where were you before the outbreak began? Why didn't you specifically warn everyone that out of all the food processing plants in the United States, Sioux Falls Smithfield was going to be the one to get hit hardest with corona, forcing a shut down? Or are you naïve enough to think all food processing plants across the nation could've cut down to 50% production to protect against a corona outbreak without causing severe food shortages?
