Re: US Election 2020
We are stupid. Well, not me, all my neighbors. I always vote to tax the rich.

Fifty percent of Americans can name four characters from “The Simpsons,” but only two out of five can name all three branches of the federal government. No more than one in seven can find Iraq on a map. Just how stupid are we? Pretty stupid.

Said Peter...what you're requesting just isn't my bag
Said Daemon, who's sorry too, but y'see we didn't have no choice
And our hands they are many and we'd be of one voice
We've come all the way from Wigan to get up and state
Our case for survival before it's too late
Turn stone to bread, said Daemon Duncetan
Turn stone to bread right away...

Re: US Election 2020
The whole idea that wearing a mask in public is a political statement is astonishingly stupid, but what do you expect from a People who still think lowering taxes increases revenue.

With the 'trusted authorities' insisting no to masks, then probably, then no, then yes, then maybe, then IT'S THE LAW TO WEAR A MASK...can you blame people for thinking it doesn't matter much?Joe wrote: ↑Sat Jun 20, 2020 4:12 pmThe whole idea that wearing a mask in public is a political statement is astonishingly stupid, but what do you expect from a People who still think lowering taxes increases revenue.
There sure seems to be conflicting information.
Watch Biden wear a mask, then Trump not. Watch newscasters in the field wearing masks, while their camera crews don't. Watch people stop listening to ALL authorities, and making their own decisions. Some based on knowledge.

Sure there's conflicting information, but that's coming from politicians who are by profession lying bastards who want to cloud the issue to their benefit, and the news, which can't report health and science issues worth a crap.Cunt wrote: ↑Sat Jun 20, 2020 4:36 pmWith the 'trusted authorities' insisting no to masks, then probably, then no, then yes, then maybe, then IT'S THE LAW TO WEAR A MASK...can you blame people for thinking it doesn't matter much?Joe wrote: ↑Sat Jun 20, 2020 4:12 pmThe whole idea that wearing a mask in public is a political statement is astonishingly stupid, but what do you expect from a People who still think lowering taxes increases revenue.

The approach to slowing the infection rate is what it always was. Wash your hands often, clean surfaces that get touched a lot, don't touch your face, wear a mask, and keep distance between people as much as possible.
That's what hospitals have been doing for years and it works, not 100%, but like seat belts enough to be worth doing. Credit where credit is due, that's not my analogy, it's from the Medical Director at a clinic I work for. She was an infectious disease nurse before going into management.
As I've shown you before, there is a good argument for not following the news.

Some politicians openly admit to politicking. Some work quietly behind the scenes, owning media companies and steering public opinion in more subtle ways.
Such as selective enforcement of rules against religious nutters.
My closest 'homies' work in laboratories. From tech's to oversight of the department, as a matter of fact. I try to soak in many perspectives on best practices.The approach to slowing the infection rate is what it always was. Wash your hands often, clean surfaces that get touched a lot, don't touch your face, wear a mask, and keep distance between people as much as possible.
Oddly enough, my note through the 'front door' of government, asking for more direction around running groups, has yet to be answered. (good news, as it probably means my current system presents no immediate concern, and I expect they are busy)
There is an equally good argument for vigorously doubting the authorities. Especially lately.That's what hospitals have been doing for years and it works, not 100%, but like seat belts enough to be worth doing.

Human bias multiplied by phacking (slightly distinct from 'P-Hacking', in that it is unconscious) can create some really skewed results across a wide swath of field. Remember the lab-produced mice problem?

Re: US Election 2020
By the way, calling it phacking instead of P-hacking, sound appropriate to me because of the masturbatory tone of the word.
Not that phacking has anything to do with the subject of the thread...

P - hacking, the unethical academic practice.
And phacking, the more 'auto-erotic' version, which runs on instincts and bias.

Perhaps each of the above...
A wilful failure to face the truth, a blatant attempt to sugar-coat a problem, or a complete inability to understand rational data gathering?US President Donald Trump says he ordered authorities to slow down the rate of coronavirus testing because it was adding to the number of COVID-19 infections being recorded.
Mr Trump described testing as a "double-edged sword", saying: "When you do testing to that extent you're going to find more people."
"You're going to find more cases, so I said to my people, 'Slow the testing down please.'
"They test and they test and we got tests — people don't know what's going on. We got tests, 'We got another one over here'."
Perhaps each of the above...
Covid likes this...Mr Trump was speaking at a re-election rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma, pressing ahead with the gathering despite it being revealed that six campaign workers who helped set it up had tested positive for the virus.
Me racist?He used terms such as "kung flu" virus and "Chinese virus" to refer to COVID-19.
Nurse, where the fuck's my cardigan?

I'm sure the Democrats are equally to blame, somehow.

Aye, in order to show how balanced, unbiased, and rational you are you may only criticise Trump once you've exhausted every possible criticism of the Democrats.
