He already conceded the point but appreciate reading the link.

All in and all over it Europe surpasses 5 million new Covid-19 cases in the past 32 days, averaging 158,410 new cases a day for the last month and 1 day.

Ellsworth is the town that smells like poop right (human not cow)? Or is that Ellwood?

not ellsworth. I drive through ellsworth on the way to meade and get gas sometimes and I don't remember it ever being smelly. I do remember it having a sign to not pick up hitchhikers so the prison checks out

Ok, the one I'm thinking of is some town on 36 we'd have to drive through from highland to st Joe

Definitely Elwood, or Smelwood as the kids say  .   But the smell is actually from St Joe drifting over.

Wow, a 10% increase in positivity rate in AL in one week.  Impressive.

I'll wait on the ADPH numbers for this last week, before I comment further.

If it worked for letting Vlad Putin repeatedly windmill on the U.S. for 4 years, it can work for Fauci.

Nebraska is surrounded by some people doing not great! And aren't exactly doing great themselves but dang they look good compared to their neighbors

[Phil Titola]

Good summary on why Europe is back at the top:

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/nov/02/europe-coronavirus-pandemic-lockdowns-infection-rates

Europe’s strategy for exiting its spring lockdowns failed. Either politicians ignored their advice, or the systems weren’t in place to implement it correctly. People’s goodwill and trust leached away as the pandemic dragged on, and when those experts started calling for stronger measures again this autumn – and the same exit strategy as before – politicians were even less willing to listen.

including a report published last month by the International Monetary Fund – all say the same thing: the cities, regions or countries that came down hard and early on the virus not only lost the fewest lives, they were also the most resistant economically.

Are these % so high because it's still recommended that many people who think they may have it are just told to stay home and quarantine with the assumption they have it an avoid spending a test on them since we still don't have enough testing in many of these states?

I am guessing they are mostly high because there are shitloads of cases

I'm tired of stories that use terms like "lockdown" or "exit strategy" without defining them.

That isn't the case here in Iowa, testing is the only thing we're doing right.

Or the numbers are wrong?  SD Department of Health reports a 1-day positive rate of 17.7%, 7-day rate of 20.7% and a 14-day rate of 18.7%.

Yip. We are doing tons of testing and getting really, really good at catching the virus.

good read here:

also they pulled the data from the covid tracking project and a quick glance and the numbers look correct.

We are not good at catching where all this is if we're 30% positivity.

By good at "catching" the virus I meant contracting or getting infected with the virus. With a 30% positive rate there have to be tons of cases that are not being identified. Sorry for the confusion.

people in joco aren't getting tested.  If you are exposed you quarantine and that's basically it.  People getting tested are the people going to the hostpital.

J&J is supposed to have the “best” vaccine candidate but this gives you an idea of where all of them optimistically are
