I literally had forgotten the Super Bowl happened and the teams in it.

Number of tests now exceeds 3M, 1 month after Dump guarantees 5M tests by the end of the week.

It's 30% coal, 35% NG, and 20% nukes. We've got miles and miles to go before buying an electric car makes any sense.

Those mixes vary greatly by region/state, and most people live somewhere where a plug in electric makes sense from a carbon emissions stand point.

pick your state here:

In Maine, a plug in electric emits much less carbon than a gasoline car

Operation of PEVs reduces emissions as well. The EPA states that combustion of each
gallon of gasoline emits 8,887 grams of CO2 (EPA and DOT, 2010).2 According to the EPA,
electricity production in the United States emitted an average of 509 grams of CO2 per kilowatthour in 2014 (EPA, 2017). The amount of tailpipe emissions from an ICE vehicle can be found
by multiplying the miles driven by 8,887 grams CO2 / gallon of gasoline and dividing by the fuel
economy (in miles per gallon, or mpg), and the emissions to drive an electric vehicle are found
by multiplying the miles driven by the electricity consumption (in kWh per mile) by 509 g CO2 /
kWh. As an example, an ICE vehicle consuming 30 mpg emits 300 g CO2 / mile, while a BEV
consuming 0.33 kWh / mile is responsible for 170 g CO2 / mile. Assuming the 2014 U.S.
national grid average for electricity, and comparing each vehicle with the 75th percentile ICE
vehicle for fuel economy in its size class in each year, PEVs have offset a total of 2.6 million
metric tons of carbon dioxide during vehicle operation.

Randy Rainbow is a national treasure. I know you're not on Twitter but #Cuomosexual was trending when he released that that last week.

So, 'nother 327 million left to go?

Less. We're only doing the whites.

That is wonderful!

We will get through this together. And we will beat both enemies: the mindless, malignant, lethal virus, and COVID.

I can’t figure out how to pick a state, on my phone, but I do acknowledge that my ignorance on the topic has become embarrassing and I will stop throwing opinions around like Trump retweets

We knew Jimmy G was Jesus.

I would say it's more Kyle Shanahan sacrificing victories for mankind. I mean the only other explanation would be he's an incompetent ****-for-brains who only gets jobs due to nepotism.

Well looks like the (small) drop in deaths the past couple days was an aberration as we already passed 1500 dead reprted today and a lot of states have yet to report. (Worldometer)

Crossed 600k cases too...

While interesting, I think the day by day numbers in isolation are kind of useless, aren't they? You really can't get any sort of a picture of any location unless you look at trends over the course of weeks, at least that's my opinion.

And one also has to be reminded that the death number is a more accurate representation than the case number, thanks to the better odds of them being tested. Which is a horrible thing to think about. That number also represents people getting sick 1-2 weeks earlier than cases- which is already 1-2 weeks behind now given how long it takes to incubate.

So the most accurate represented numbers show the situation a month ago....

How can anyone trust what this moron says? You can't claim hysteria and then call that too calm 3 months later.

The media is getting way too much blame for this.

The funny thing is that for the people who are still convinced that this is overblown, they are more likely to die for being stupid. And they refuse to get that point.

I agree about the death numbers. Those are the first numbers for each country and state I'm most likely to look at because you simply don't know how many people are getting tested. On a broader basis I think the case numbers for the country as a whole are somewhat helpful to look at since I assume however NY is testing is the same day to day, and however MN is testing is the same day to day, so there may be some consistency there when looking at the country as a whole when we move along, week to week.

Yeah, I saw that, looks like it could be another 2000+ day.

But you know, we're bending the curve.

Update. 2251 as of 7 minutes ago.

Yeah, but deaths won't even hit 20,000, so what do you know?
