Anyone going to Sturgis on a sports bike next month?

[Marcoose]

I am assuming cumulative?

I think that's how Wordometers keep tabs. The Dakotas are a little of a home away from home for me. I've completed 4 projects there, made friends, have relatives, done Sturgis, etc. I'm at the same time baffled but not surprised. They've been told to ignore safety protocols. And now the stats follow suit.

 

[Climber]

On Worldometres, on cases per million, the Dakotas are 1 and 2 in the nation. On deaths per million, 8 and 9. Each has the population of San Francisco.

Marketing is a powerful thing. People buy what they’re sold.

What's your point?

Two rural states with high case rates and over the last two weeks high death rates.

Just note, the slope to the right of the dip is far greater then anywhere on the slope to the left of the dip.

So either testing was delayed due to the holidays OR people chose to ignore their symptoms to hang out with grandma (some hyperbole here)
...

Just the new cases, right? I was going to comment on the testing, but yeah it's going vertical.

yes sir

It's probably a bit of both (delays in testing and backlog due to reduced headcount) but looks pretty damning

EDIT: Personal Development Goal: I'm working on taking out leading language and just sticking to strict fact.

What’s the fun in that?

 

[Yakoo752]

Ask my manager :laughing

Kelly? :later

Luckily, what I do is far above her interest level

I’ve mentioned before

I work for a technical science PhD. She is well acclaimed in her field of market science. She’s done so much for my career, I can’t even.

I took a market research course at SJSU. My manager found out (I had to tell her). She contacted my professor, another PhD, and they worked out a curriculum for me that didn’t require me attending class.

My peer was a VP at Zitter after they acquired her company.

I haven’t a clue how I got this job.

You are part of the 30 percent who don't think the virus is a big deal.

You are actually quite free, despite "limitations," to ignore the advice of scientists by hosting as many indoor gatherings as you wish.

Have at it.

Nobody will stop you.

Like CA Governor Gavin Newsom and SF Mayor London Breed?

Oh wait, forgot corona rules only apply to poor people. :rofl

 

[Climber]

TOS apply to everybody. :afm199

Idiots come in all stripes.

And you have to be a massive idiot in this day and age of "smartphones at the ready" to do what those fools did.

Please keeps Politics out of this thread.

Thank you.

The Dakotas...

 

[Climber]

SD and ND very likely have over half their populations exposed.
ND is at #4 for deaths/million at 1,625.
SD is at #7 with 1,561.

CA is at #41 with 588

Of note is that the states above them got hit very hard very early when the deaths were higher by percentage.

In terms of cases/million they are heads and shoulders above all other states:
ND: 118,694
SD: 107,961
#3 Iowa: 85,670

They're shooting for herd immunity alright.

Terrible.

Hope things settle for them soon.

Not as bad as the statisticians make things seem when trying to normalize the numbers. Death count (actual) isn't something that benefits from normalization. Death count is just that: Deaths counted. Extrapolation is always used in policy and politics for specific ends. I don't prefer death count extrapolations especially when used in political arguments.

That’s cute.

Please explain how a state with an incredibly low population density has a significantly higher death rate

Berto, I’m going to have to dog-pile. The nonsense you say is egregious, dangerous. You’re shouting fire in a crowded theatre.
