    Hey MC,

    I think there's a MSM reporting problem, not a data problem.

    Today's numbers are a perfect example. All of the local news channels are reporting 6k new cases and 63 additional deaths. You might think to yourself, "boy, that number sounds high. That's a lot of people dying in a day from COVID-19. Things are spinning out of control."

    But then you look closer at the story and see this ...

    So in reality that's an extra 63 deaths added to the running total but spread over 255 days.

    That last part isn't right. The 63 deaths are from 11/10 to 11/24.

    Indiana's death numbers consistently lag. Each daily update seems to add at least a few deaths covering at least go the last 3 days.

    Our data-reporting is really... disappointing. I mean, there are all sorts of business practices that provide up-to-the-minute reporting, I'm really not sure why this can't be one of them.

    Data lags because the delay in testing. No rapid tests for the deceased.

    Just has a lady die recently who jad a laundry list of issues from Cancer to COPD. EMS have been visiting her several times a year for the past few years. We ended up taking two plastic grocery bags of prescription medication out of her house for disposal. A few days later, she is now a Covid death.

    Another Covid death was a fatal traffic accident. That is two I know locally where is was attributed to Covid. I am sure there were several more.

    Are you tired of being scared?

    You can go along.

    Or you can just say "No".
    You're out of time.

    [h=1]Vermont governor announces school leaders will ask students about being in 'multi-family gatherings' over Thanksgiving[/h]

    Vermont Gov. Phil Scott said the state's Agency of Education is directing schools to ask students if they were part of "multi-family gatherings" during the Thanksgiving holiday.
    “Unfortunately, we know some will still get together and schools have asked for help. @VTEducation will direct schools to ask students or parents if they were part of multi-family gatherings and if the answer is yes, they'll need to go remote for 14 days or 7 days and a test,” Scott said on Twitter.
    Scott also called on businesses to take a similar approach.
    “We also advise businesses to consider asking employees to quarantine if they don't adhere to gathering restrictions,” Scott said. “This isn't a way around the ban or an excuse to get together. The more we adhere to this policy, the faster we’ll lower case counts & ease up on restrictions.”


    Note: I had to look him up.
    Philip Brian Scott is an American politician serving as the 82nd Governor of Vermont since 2017. A member of the Republican Party, he was elected governor in the 2016 general election with 52 percent of the vote

    It sounds like a rope and a back bumper would do this man good.

    We REALLY NEED a Constitutional party dedicated to governing within the confines of the documented original intent. Alas, I believe it is now to late...
