The most horrifying part of that is the phrase "Hamptons insider", which sounds like something you should be hauled before a people's tribunal for calling yourself.

I mean, it seems equally possible to me that he did and they're just lying and praying Trump doesn't come down with coronavirus, because they know he'd probably melt down with cabin fever and start pushing buttons on the nuclear football around day 8 of a 14-day West Wing self-quarantine.

bulletsponge13 posted:News stories going around about testing errors and lower rate of death that thought; They're not really wrong, as hospitalization rates and death rates are down compared to where they were earlier. What we don't know is that if it's a function of the cases now skewing younger or if it's a function of us knowing how to treat COVID better and prevent deaths. The problem though is that when you're pumping out numbers like these, it kind of gets irrelevant when deaths are a lagging indicator. https://twitter.com/orlandosentinel/status/1279432366197538816?s=19 And of course, Florida and travel isn't shut down, so there's going to be a fuckload of carriers getting exported from Florida to all over.

It’s irresponsible and incredibly misleading to try to identify trends from the national statistics. There’s no single national outbreak and no single national response. Do it locally or don’t do it at all, imo.

Do it locally or don’t do it at all, imo. A good Twitter thread about the phenomenon of how inappropriate aggregation of local data to a national level causes hospitalization and death rates to appear to decline, while positive rates are increasing. https://twitter.com/mbeckett/status/1278750660771504128 To quote that thread, “We are about to have dozens of NYCs around the country. The next 8 weeks are going to brutal, no matter what we do. ICUs overflowing, ventilators rationed, hundreds of thousands of deaths.”

Right, “knowing how to treat covid better” only matters in states that didn’t let their hospitals get overwhelmed. The ones that did might as well be treating people in February because they won’t have the luxury of giving patients 4 weeks of one-on-one therapy in a private room.

US Berder Patrol posted:driving back to DC from western South Dakota should be a real treat I hear you. I work out here and make the drive on I-90 to Ohio once a year at least. South Dakota and Southern Minnesota are just wastelands, like the Steppe but not as exciting, but with the same common clay of the new west stereotypes. Wisconsin as least has Spotted Cow beer, which is pretty good. Having lived with this stupid rally being planned I will echo what you said about it being chud-central. It is. They even have one of those nauseating trump shops that never seems to have any business. Rapid City's main claim to fame is the president statues but that's gonna get ruined when they have to find somebody to make one of Donnie. The Governor, Krisiti Noem is such a goddamn moron. I call her Palin of the plains because she's really not smart. When she won the House she joked about needed to read a book on Civics. Some loving college gave her college credit for her term in Congress. Just to show you how enlightened this place is, the local news called that House race "the battle of the babes" because it was between two reasonably attractive women. This morning she said that taking down Confederate statues is in violation of the founding fathers. I can't even begin to parse what the gently caress she meant. The current House rep, a little dweeb named Dusty Every time somebody would come visit they wanted to go to Mount Rushmore. We'd take them, because we're nice people. It's $10 to park (parking is privatized so you're not supporting the NPS) and it's about a 30 minute visit. There is a patriotic soda machine in the men's room, which is worth a picture. Maybe I'm just plain not very American anymore but I despise that loving Mountain. Crazy Horse is just as bad, it's owned by a 100% Polish-American family and milks the poo poo out of tourists for "native Americans". If anybody ever comes out here, hit me up. There is a pretty decent craft brewery scene, some decent wineries, and six hours away the Little Big Horn Battlefield, which is always worth a visit. Plus we can go visit the statue of Colonel Sam Sturgis, CO of the 7th Cavalry before, during, and after the Battle.

I know a few dudes who drool over your gov, because she believes in "constitutional carry." I still don't know exactly what that is, but same dudes have grand kids, even though they are in their early 40's, so maybe I'm better off not knowing. SD is a gorgeous state, too bad it's full of goddamn morons

As one of those drat tourists who was driving through SD, I will say Little Big Horn Battlefield was a hell of a lot more moving and meaningful to me than Mt. Rushmore. I especially appreciated the memorial they put up for the native soldiers who fought, and how they laid it all out.

Wall Drug is 10x better! It's stupid tourist fun from a generation ago. Mount Rushmore is boring, even the ice cream sucks. And The Little Big Horn is just awesome. It's basically untouched and very, very... what's a good word? Solemn, that works. I lead the local Army Staff rides on it so I am going in September again. It does not get old or tired to me, that battlefield is a very special place for both sides. If you go, go find Marc Reno's grave in the national cemetery. He was Custer's XO. There's quite a few 7th troopers there. The native monuments are very nice as well as the memorial to the 7th's horses. If any of you guys want, PM me and I'll give you my staff ride guide I wrote. I'm pretty proud of it. Trying to get it published right now (Army passed on it, for reasons I'll avoid right now).

bengy81 posted:I know a few dudes who drool over your gov, because she believes in "constitutional carry." Unless you're in Vermont, 'constitutional carry' is a dumbass slogan. As Midjack said, it's a legislature deciding to deregulate carrying firearms. But I guess constitutional sounds more founding father-y. As for it being a thing for 40 year olds, not really. Except for Vermont, which has always respected those rights, unlicenced carry laws are mostly under 5 years old, and all except Alaska's are less than 10 years old, (AK's is 17)
