Moderno RNA vaccine showing promise.
so we’ve got a potential antibody treatment and a RNA vaccine both in the pipeline. Why are no major media screaming this from the mountaintops?
It’s not November 4th yet.

The best information available at the time can be incomplete and completely inaccurate. But it is still the best information they have to go off of at the time. They need something to base decisions off of. Also the government has a wide threshold for acceptance of error which doesn't help. The point is you cannot blame the scientists or the policy makers unless they acted unfaithfully without due diligence. Which is quite tough to prove.
I agree. People blaming trump for the early response or Governor Cuomo for the early response are just using hindsight and wanting to point blame for political reasons

Again, they are doing their job. It's how science works, continue to update what you know with new information to make the models more accurate. This was a novel virus, minimal things were known about it which is why the models had such huge range. Fauci openly admitted to Congress he doesn't know everything about the virus and he won't make predictions, just lay out what the models show. Blame the media for grabbing onto the biggest numbers and pushing that agenda. Blame those making policy decisions for not understanding the numbers and/or risk. Fauci has zero agenda or narrative to push. He presents the facts as he sees them, which is not policy making. That is up to the elected officials. He's been doing it for almost 40 years under Democrat (2x) and Republican (4x) presidents. He didn't decide to get political at the age of 79 just for fun.
I don’t get how people are quick to blame the policy makers when the information they’re using is admittedly incomplete and sometimes completely in accurate

Well 10 on the field for baseball and basketball, 12 for hockey, 22 for football...
I was thinking more of the close groups of 10 being allowed now, so I was thinking about the huddle.
from what I understand now, 10 people huddling together in a bar is just fine, but nine kids spread out to play defense on a baseball field is an in sanely infectious situation waiting to happen. -

My favorite is 10 people in a group.
If they could just increase that group size by 1, football season would be a definite go this fall.

I have screens on all my windows. It helps keep out most bugs, however some bugs can still make it into the house. Other people can choose not to have screens on their windows. They will just have more bugs getting into their homes when they have their windows open.
How do those screens work on farts?

I understand that this business isnt an exact science. I’d just expect that they’d be wrong as many time on the high side as the low side. If you are wrong every single time on the same side you have no credibility. That indicates a “belief system” and an agenda.
Check these clowns‘ estimates on Ebola, SARS... 1.7 millions deaths from Ebola? Oops, it was actually 2.
Reminds me of what the Horowitz report told us. 17 egregious errors and omissions by the FBI...all "coincidentally" falling on one side of the investigation. Hmm....agenda, maybe?

Since such a large percentage of the corona deaths are the elderly and vulnerable, do these 12 month death predictions take into account a reasonable estimate of the number of people who were going to die within the next 12 months anyway?
Or do these estimates operate under the assumption that nobody will die, ever, unless of course they contract COVID-19? -

Anyone see the irony in the coronavirus checkpoints on US and State highways by the Native Americans in SD? Seems be an issue between them and Gov. Noem. A Sioux tribal chairman was quoted..."We will not apologize for being an island of safety in a sea of uncertainty and death". Excuse my as I wipe my coffee that I spit out onto my phone when I read that.
Ironic since this is coming from a group of citizens, Native Americans, that in no way shape or form has for decades cared about the public health of its own people. Diabetes, HTN, alcoholism, drug abuse, child abuse, domestic violence...just to name a few are rampant on reservations yet the coronavirus is what's going to kill them en masse in SD? Since we are all about "science and data" in today's world Native Americans are 2x as likely to become diabetic than Caucasians. 2/3 of kidney failure in Native Americans is from diabetes just to give you some quick data.
BTW for the record SD has 39 total deaths to date due to the coronavirus.
I wonder if the beer trucks are allowed entry.

I mean, "news" stations doing this pre-dates Trump. While the media/news cycle continues to evolve, I don't recall Bush or Obama reacting to anywhere near that or even trying to escalate the situation.
You are correct, for years, reporters have asked stupid, biased questions. It’s refreshing to have someone call them out on it.
reminds me of my favorite Bob Knight quote, regarding journalism. To paraphrase, We all learn to write by the second or third grade.... but most of us move on to other things.-

Trump once gain threw a temper tantrum like a giant crybaby... if he isn't up to answering these questions then he should resign. It's part of the job and he needs to grow up and start answering these questions.
The question was moronic. (I hope I’m not going to be accused of being racist now since the reporter happens to appear to be of Asian descent).
Day after day after day said reporter’s employer is constantly attempting to make the administration look weak by pointing out any statistic, regardless of how irrelevant or inaccurate it is, to try and show it’s gullible followers that the administration is doing a poor job regarding COVID-19.
But then when it’s the president making the comparisons, the reporter asks him why is he making this into a competition.
it’s really alarming there is a segment of the population in such a TDS mental state that it needs these things explained to them.

The economic devastation the pandemic wreaks on the ultra-poor could ultimately kill more people than the virus itself.....
The U.N. predicts the coronavirus could push an additional 130 million people to the brink of starvation by the end of 2020. World Vision, an international Christian aid organization, warns that 30 million children are at risk of dying.
From what I'm hearing from the left, all we need to do is get these people more tests and everything will be fine.

I disagree. Trump has proven himself incapable of improving our situation. The last 8 weeks are all the evidence you need. We've been shut down for 8 weeks and do we have adequate PPE to protect medical personnel against a surge in infections while also allowing other medical services and essential industries to return? No. Do we have sufficient testing nationwide to be able to implement contact tracing? No. Do we have even a plan in place for contract tracing? No.
We have a bunch of boondoggle stimulus plans that were poorly implemented and continue to be misrun and the presidents grifter son-in law in charge of the medical supply chain.
We're not operating in a vacuum. Germany, South Korea, New Zealand, Canada are all managing this better than us. That's entirely due to them having responsible competent governance, while we have the miserable failure that is the Trump admin.
Remember folks, Orangemanbad, Chinagood.

What exactly was that?
We were supposed to stop eating, and stop using all utilities. And all 350 million of us were supposed to take a test once a day while not leaving the house, while some magical fairies created, administered, and graded said tests.

Maybe they should just give it to illegal immigrants like Nancy and friends proposed in the latest corona recovery bill.
