Breaking News: “More than anything this pandemic has fully, finally torn back the curtain on the idea that so many of the folks in charge know what they’re doing.” Barack Obama criticized U.S. leaders’ coronavirus response in a virtual commencement speech. https://t.co/pLQ4pJeR4A

I was addressing where you said it wasn’t spreading as quickly. I’m pointing out that that statement doesn’t apply everywhere.

I'm talking overall. We'll have our hotspots (the latest being the meat plants). Guessing WI counties where people are packing the bars are next up.

NEW: Experts are increasingly alarmed about the conditions in the airports. There are *no* coronavirus screening procedures for domestic flights and a House probe found lax screening from international COVID hotspots. https://t.co/t56PEbRKht

And in June/July it will be Red Wing and The Iron Range. Hell I bet Brainerd gets hit if the resorts open.

Fine, but as someone trained in epidemiology I’m Going to point out incorrect or incomplete statements when I see them.

There are people out there pointing out there is zero increase in cases, picking and choosing their spots, also. Those people are also not looking at the overall picture.

OVERALL, from what we know, the spread is slowing. Slowing being the key word. Still the first wave. There hasn't been a complete lull. When we reach a complete lull, that is when the second wave starts.

Are those enough crossed t's and dotted i's for you? Sheesh. I forgot that this is the internet and everyone needs everything spelled out for them because they can't understand a general idea or thought.

You must be under some mistaken belief that facts matter. You poor naive fool...

You think I can’t understand a general idea or a thought because I pointed out something you said wasn’t accurate? Christ.

I’ve not seen anyone on this board state as many inaccuracies on this topic than you.

Well, it's spreading like crazy!!!!!!!! In certain spots. Particular spots.

Um, no kidding. It's also NOT spreading at all in certain spots. Particular spots.

So, overall, the spread, with the info we have, is slowing down. It's obviously still not good, but it's better than a month ago.

Get it?

We don't know this is true. You are just plain wrong to state this as fact. We are not doing enough testing and we are still not doing testing in the right way for those tests we are doing, and we are not anywhere near close to doing effective tracing to have more than barely educated guesses at this point. You are the very manifestation of the difficulty this country has in dealing with complex problems. People who are not experts act like they know more than the experts. People are not willing to accept that we don't know everything. People think everything should have easily knowable answers. And when none of that fits, we move the goalposts.

Sigh. FROM WHAT WE KNOW. That does not mean we know everything at this point. We are going on what we know at this point in time. This is not difficult to understand. Next week? Hopefully we know more, and adjust decisions based again on....guess what? WHAT WE KNOW.

WE DON’T KNOW ANYTHING!

That’s the point that’s trying to be made.

Pretty sure we know some things. 3 months ago we knew nothing. That's the point that is trying to be made.
