No, that's not what I said and not what I was responding to. My comparison/correlation was based purely on your opinion not mine.
So you think it was a perfect policy of the Cuomo Administration to send back infected seniors to their long term care facilities? Gotcha
 
Interesting take from an economist that I follow:

Constricted Consumption

While politicians can argue about who has the authority to reopen the economy, in the end it is consumers and businesses that will make that decision based on safety and security. Early evidence from China (which is at best an untrustworthy data source), is not good. March retail sales fell 19%, suggesting the combination of behavioral changes and the material loss of wealth and income meaningfully held back consumption.

this is kind of like an argument I've been making

that being that a lot of the businesses that are closed right now like restaurants, bars, gyms, theaters, salons, etc. are not going to spring back into life once the restrictions are lifted. That's because people are not going to be confident enough, for a long time possibly, to take their families to these places, or go back to normal. Social distancing isn't just directives from state governments, it's common sense as long as covid is out there without any vaccine and no effective treatment

and the reaction if we relax causing infections and deaths to spike again as a result is going to be pretty extreme IMO

let me ask a question: if I haven't spent any time praising Cuomo for what he's done, does that mean my criticisms of trump are valid?
 
bullshit, and I'll prove it:

IMO, Evan Turner is a great perimeter shooter
It’s valid that your opinion should matter. Doesn’t mean the opinion is right.

That’s why this forum is popular. A lot of opposing views creates heated discussions. Don’t you agree?
 
I think any opinion is valid. I also think any opposing opinion is valid.

Seriously dude, take some time off again. You are all over this forum arguing with 4-5 people at the same time over ridiculously stupid shit. Why do you feel the need to reply to every post that says something about trump? Seems a bit overly obsessive.

Thanks for the concern. I’ll spend as much time in here as I like.
 
Looks like another test that collaborated with the USC and Stanford tests. This one says 2.7 million maybe infected. Going that route, it’s highly possible tens of millions have been already been infected, lowering the mortality percent significantly.

(Reuters) - New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said on Thursday a screening of 3,000 residents found that 13.9 percent tested positive for antibodies for the novel coronavirus, suggesting that some 2.7 million people across the state may have been infected.

I agree there will some reluctance, but on the other hand there is a large percentage of people still working essential and even non essential jobs that I predict will have an easy time phasing back into consumer practices. As long as there are still some governing I predict business's will again thrive and survive with consumer confidence improving in quick fashion.

there is quite a bit of dispute about these recent studies:

https://www.dailykos.com/stories/20...ll-an-apology-according-to-noted-statistician

https://statmodeling.stat.columbia....-in-stanford-study-of-coronavirus-prevalence/

"I think the authors of the above-linked paper owe us all an apology. We wasted time and effort discussing this paper whose main selling point was some numbers that were essentially the product of a statistical error.

I’m serious about the apology. Everyone makes mistakes. I don’t think they authors need to apologize just because they screwed up. I think they need to apologize because these were avoidable screw-ups. They’re the kind of screw-ups that happen if you want to leap out with an exciting finding and you don’t look too carefully at what you might have done wrong.
"
 
Because it riles the snowflakes.

Snowflakes? Heh. ;)

Anyway, I've never been riled even once. That said, Cup should take a page out of his book with me and simply place Mags on ignore. I'm pretty sure it would be a great solution for him.

This is the same on the flip side as well. The good thing is all of these University studies are replicating the tests 10 times for margin of error. The findings are public because it’s a university, but none of the study isn’t final until they do all waves of sampling.

But i don't have you on ignore. I just pay little attention to what you post.
 
If you just want to ignore Cuomo’s policy of telling hospitals to send infected seniors back to their long term treatment centers just say so.
:blazerwookie:

I'm not ignoring anything. I am however somewhat "entertained" by watching someone assume what they think my position may or may not be.
 
True, if it isn't bullshit. There's enough bullshit in this forum to fertilizee the United States.

And it provides a rich garden ripe for arguing. When the people you are arguing with don't believe in what they are arguing, it is boring.

My comment of “Thanks Cuomo” was actually a dig on those that blame everything on Trump. Your actual initial response blaming Trump actually validated my dig.

I’ll make sure to be less subtle the next time I post
