Look at the graphs I posted and give us all a lesson.  Really, if it is that simple, give the answers

Really? I just totally just took a shot in the dark at this comment? I have been following this Virus since March. Tell me.. is Positive Cases, Testing, and deaths equally correlated? Lets say deaths are are lagging by cases.. they still do not equally correlate. The improvements in testing, healthcare, experience, medicine has drastically lowered the death rate. 

Testing will never lower the actual mortality rate, it simply gives us a better picture of the situation. More widespread testing has allowed people who aren't at significant risk of severe illness to be more readily tested. That is a major if not THE major cause of the decreasing calculated mortality rate. Another significant factor is that we're just now getting to the point where healthcare systems in spiking areas are starting to feel some strain. They're not yet overwhelmed like they were in NYC during their spike.

Either way, this idea that case count and mortality count are in no way correlated is just hilariously bad logic. All I have to do to show this is state that if case count is zero then the mortality count will also be zero. Everyone would say, "Well, no poo." Which is the point. It's a very basic concept.

And less deaths in the entire state of Florida than NYC alone.

Yes but Covid is effectively over in New York

Florida is going to suffer for a while.

Also compare the infections rates for each.

NYC has 40% of the population of Florida packed into 302 square miles. Florida is 66,000 square miles. So of course NYC got hammered.

The difference is NYC and its libtards made smart decisions driven by science and beat it. NYC will be open while Florida is still suffering. 

You can do all the mental gymnastics you like but DeSantis is a moron. Just yesterday he said he would rather have bars open.  

The only thing he should be saying is "Stay home if you can, wear a mask, wash your hands, don't congregate." So should Trump. It's so simple and amazing how many idiots can't comprehend it.

So now you are a Dick Cheney fan?

Im willing to acknowledge that he is doing the right thing. It’s called meeting someone half way. I know it’s a foreign concept for right wingers to try and get along but u should try it sometime. It may save your life one day.

Even Mike Pence is advocating for wearing masks now. The evidence is overwhelming for their effectiveness in preventing the spread of this disease (and respiratory diseases in general). It was wildly irresponsible and reckless for them to be anti-mask for as long as they were, but it's vitally important for people to get this message going into 4th of July weekend. Memorial Day weekend was pretty much the kickoff for these current spikes.

The fact that we're debating wearing masks as a matter of political ideology in a respiratory illness pandemic is just sad.

Also it's really cool that none of you are debating the death numbers now.  Like three weeks ago it was all a gigantic conspiracy to make the President look bad.  If they spike again I suppose we'll see a lot of people pivoting back to their YouTube videos of antivaxx nurses risking it all to tell the truth and people yelling in hospital parking lots.

B-but Fauci said to not wear masks like three months ago

NYC is only now really reopening, just give it time.  They are behind the curve, literally, based off reopening later than just about everyone else.  All they did was delay what is bound to eventually happen.  Just give it a few weeks (see, I can play this game too). 

Smart decisions like sticking COVID-19 patients in nursing homes?

Florida should have kept those dirty New Yorkers out of the state, that would have helped.

At this point, why would anyone believe status reports coming from Florida state government?  They were exposed months ago for pressuring their statisticians to fudge/minimize the number of COVID cases.  Chances are the actual numbers are worse than those being reported.

Their circle jerking about all the numbers being fake only goes one way.

    • Have you seen the mock drafts lately?   Most of them have us taking a QB. Just because you aren't high on these QBs doesn't mean the Panthers or other teams aren't.   If you want me to be real I just think you a Tmac homer and all you care about is us drafting him. It's why you get so defensive when people mention other prospects.   Be open to other people's ideas. Nobody in this thread is saying anything bad about your boy Tmac. 
    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
    • Sanders is with Tom Brady brand and that's his mentor. The Raiders owner was with Sanders taking pics at a Vegas game together.   It doesn't take much to connect the dots that Vegas will be interested in Sanders as their franchise QB. Oh yeah and guess who hasa small ownership stake in the Raiders Tom Brady.   I guess this is just another made up Madden idea by me huh?
