    Seems like you’re not comprehending the news. One of the states where daily cases of covid are rising fastest is Arizona....predicted high in Phoenix is 109 F. It’s not fizzling out any more than the idiotic statements fromTrump are. The negative exponential growth is absurd, the 20,000 Americans testing positive every single day are not impressed.

    2020 taught me just how many people are shit at maths.

    Do you even know what exponential means?


    Was supposed to be Millions getting infected per day by now, and you are calling a hundred in Arizona "rising fast"

    First of all the number of new cases in Arizona per day is a power of 10 greater than 100. I have an extensive background in math and experience in Interpreting statistics and can smell a bald faced attempt to obscure numbers at 20 paces. Negative exponential growth is a classic example since the growth is most certainly not negative in the way most people would expect. If you are in an automobile going 100 mph and step the accelerator and increase your rate of speed, your speed may not be increasing exponentially “negative exponential increase” but a sustained additional increase will put you in deep shit in a short time.

    See, you just told me you don't know what exponential means.

    Acceleration in a car is a quadratic function, not exponential, acceleration = distance/time/time, ms^-2

    Anyone that finished high school and wasn't stoned half the time knows that

    Exponential growth function looks something like this:

    And yes r can be negative, then its a decay function


    Now, Arizona

    ADHS - Data Dashboard

    New Covid cases per day
    1st June: 1159
    2nd June: 1217
    3rd June: 1116
    4th June : 1150
    5th June: 1014
    6 th June: 615
    7th June: 526
    8th June: 930

    So, it's actually going down: negative growth

    2020 has taught me that you still don't know how to spell math, and do you know what the term relative means?

    Maths is the correct way, short for mathematics, math is retarded, short for mathematic

    2020 has taught me how many people are shit at mathematic

    See, retarded, no one talks like that

    BINGO, Tishomingo !!! Bravo, friend! I want to see someone argue with God over this fact. I'm sure someone will try to twist God's statement or rationalize somehow.

    I look at our country and wonder - based on Jesus' statement - how we can survive with the sort of division we have today in the U.S.

    The coronavirus vaccine will be provided free of charge to Americans who can't afford it, the Trump administration announced Tuesday.

    yes, and testing was available to everyone who wanted it, Trump said. The vaccine hasn't been invented and tested yet.

    Yep …………… if you want to see numbers go to zero ………. just stop testing. Problem solved!

    Where did that pic of the ostrich with it's head in the sand go ………………………..

    Are you shittin' me?????????? Does this sound sensible to ANYONE?????? !!!!!!!!! I have no doubt that the Rump faithful and a few TROLLS will try their best to rationalize some half-assed defense to justify Rump's idea to stop testing.

    10 - 9 - 8 - 7 - 6 - 5 - 4 - 3 - …………………………...

    Trump's Tulsa rally sure is getting "rave reviews"....(not).

    An excerpt from a recent CNN article regarding Pence and Trump:

    ..."This weekend, Trump will take the stage at what's shaping up to be a superspreading event in Tulsa, Oklahoma, where tens of thousands of people are expected to gather in a confined venue, exchanging infected droplets.

    The President likely knows some will get sick. That's why when you register to attend you have to sign a waiver assuming the risks of Covid-19 infection and agreeing, "not to hold Donald J. Trump for President, Inc." liable. The city is all but begging him to stay away, but Trump wants to revive his campaign never mind that cases there are increasing."

    Now, I get that enclosed areas act as incubators for diseases such as COVID-19. But you cannot tell me that tens of thousands of rioters aren't spreading something, too, given the fact not all are wearing masks and are breathing next to each other.

    I'm definitely not suggesting Trump's rally should carry forth as planned, but I'm calling bullshit if anyone thinks that you cannot catch something with an infection radius of 13 feet and the ability to travel on shoes regardless if outside or in. (Source: WebMD and the CDC). Point I'm making is that this rally has been blown much further out of proportion than the rallies (riots, call them what you will) in terms of COVID-19, and if we're attempting to view this whole COVID-19 thing fairly, it's time that more people see things from all angles instead of whichever angle the media deems fitting for their narrative.
