I don’t find your half ass humor one bit funny.
I like the graph but I don't see how it isn't showing good success in Texas?

Again, "number of cases" is a near meaningless stat given people can be asymptomatic, test accuracy and test availability. Also, given that most people who recover have no permanent damage, deaths are the only meaningful stat and that also may be adulterated.

I'd like a look back at the number of people who died in Texas during March and April and compare it to years past.

Seriously, are they prevented from working? I would have thought with ball games, theaters, parks, etc closed, their business would be booming. Take a day off "working from home" and go fish. Charter boat fishing I can see closed.

I'll have to check into it.

A sense of humor is a characteristic of higher intelligence - not seen in the DPST Fascist ranks.

B All means - go fishin' - and count on Trump to bail u out when j666 takes the long walk off a short pier!
Get some professional help - j666 - U need IT!

And the number of cases and the number of deaths go hand-in-hand. So, of course, the number of cases is relevant. You dismiss it because the facts don't fit your idiotic theory that the disease is no big deal. And the graph is the number of confirmed cases - whether asymptomatic or not. And test availability means the true number is even higher. Even the asymptomatic cases can spread the disease.

Texas is at nearly a 2% fatality rate. Texas has 28M people. If 20% (5.6M) get infected and 2% of those 5.6M people die, then Texas will have 112,000 deaths by itself. And if the hospital system gets swamped, then the death rate will be even higher than 2%.

it could be that you need to be a subscriber to see it or you need 3 reviews to see the sig line.


your last review was in 2017....


so... do some more reviews or just pay up like i did.

We need to put people back to work.

(10,230-9353) yesterday = 877 cases

Anyway, some rural counties have virtually no cases - they should at least be allowed to decide for themselves not to commit economic destruction.

Perhaps I didn't explain it properly so I apologize. In my mind I was thinking of the number of new cases each day, and to me exponential increases are typically shown on a logarithmic scale.

Gnadfly's larger point is we do not have a NYC style disaster.

Whether I was right or wrong with my terms and description, Yssup Rider is still a faggot. That is a certainty.
How does that correlate to any policies of the NYC administration?

It doesn’t. Just yous trying to spin the facts into your own racists narrative, Jewish Lawclerk. Originally Posted by HoeHummer

Plus, de Blasio is a fucking asshole, so it is fun to call him a racist, even if he did marry an ugly black lady.

If that happened to Mayor Rudy (i.e. any racial disparity) when he was kicking ass you fuckers would have skewered him.

And NO, it doesn't depend on the "items and scale" whatever that means. A curve is exponential if it is rising as X^N, (X to the Nth power) where N is greater than one. If N=1, then it is linear (or a straight slope). If N is less than 1, it is a decaying exponential.

The X and Y axes are both linear, not logarithmic - scale is not a factor. So, the increasingly steep curve (i.e., increasing slope, not a straight slope) means you have an exponential rise.

STOP MAKING SHIT UP TO TRY TO SAVE FACE. You are only digging a deeper hole of stupidity.

You can put anything you want on the x and y axis.

When it is new cases on Y, and days on X, and it is roughly the same each day, over a 5 or 6 day period, that ain't exponential. That's what I'm talking about, ExNYer.

If at first it is 50 per day, and 6 days later, it is 500 per day, that portion of the curve for that graph is exponential over the time frame, like NYC.

Texas ain't got that!

I see a lot of men in the audience today, I just want to remind them about the importance of health care. Of the male-female ratio, 56 percent of the people who are tested are female, 16 percent positive. 44 percent male, 23 percent positive.


I'm not sure what to make of it, but maybe the moral of the story there is that the wifey should be the one to go out in public to pick up hubby's beer and some groceries - for the common good of the team. Besides, math is math. I could be wrong, but that's what I heard.
