John Hopkins: spinning the Florida Positive Spike, Chart Scales matter.

[mikeinfwa]

Look how the Florida positive test results look compared to say Texas.

Florida appears to be SPIKING. But this is a visual trick/spin. look at the scale on the right.

Florida is scaled is 25% top
Texas is scaled at 100%

Florida is 18.5 % positive rate
Texas is 14% positive rate

Florida is 10K new positive
Texas is 8.3K new positive

Florida and Texas will likely decide the election this year. And, sad to say..both are probably up for grabs.

Both are currently ran by republicans. Hmmm.

Just a data point to consider, as it might be a factor re: the "spikes".

The fuckery is becoming tough to explain in any reasonable manner.

I think "It's a load of codswallop, balderdash, and sheer poppycock." is a pretty reasonable and straightforward explanation for the media's skewing of the numbers. "It's feckin' bullshite." is more so.

Look at the deaths compaired to the infected. Then you will see a larger disparity. You can also look at the states the "media" are reporting on....you wont gear about New Jersey, New York. Being as they are dems held they cant have them looking bad. But make the Republican states look bad for opening early, and you can sway the morons that think wearing cloth over your face will save anyone's life

Also many more younger people (with very very low chances of fatality) are turning up positive now, which statistically if everything that's previously been true about the virus holds, will drive the overall fatality RATE way down.

Nursing homes.

It is something around half the deaths have been in nursing home type settings. That should be alarming to everyone! Though on the plus side cold, flu, heart disease, and others have been dropped down to zero.

Seriously though this crap is getting nuts
