Remember when all the media and even some posters here speculated Trump could die of the virus?

Now he's campaigning literally every day.

Coronavirus testing: What is a false positive?
https://www.bbc.com/news/54270373

The false positive rate usually refers to the number of people who are not infected but get positive results, as a proportion of all the people tested who really don't have the virus. We do not know what the precise rate is though.

Dr Paul Birrell, a statistician at the Medical Research Council's Biostatistics Unit at the University of Cambridge, says: "The false positive rate is not well understood and could potentially vary according to where and why the test is being taken. A figure of 0.5% for the false positive rate is often assumed."

....Figures for late September from Public Health England show that 7% of community tests were positive. That means of every 1,000 people tested, 70 were positive. Even with a false positive rate of 0.8%, seven of those would be false positives, but 63 would be true positives - the vast majority.

Additionally, personal examinations are used for conformation.

i hear what you are saying, the media is overdoing the corona.. no doubt, Trump would have a better shot at this thing if didn't go out and campaign at all.. you can't blame Trump though because all those rallies worked the last time around. yesterday the rallies happened to work in Arizona and he hasn't gone down in Florida either. (i hope he wins Florida in a big way)

Oh, look.......

Covid conspiracy theorists please take note:

A Democratic Governor discussing plans for Covid vaccine distribution
BEFORE NOV 3RD!!!!

https://mynews4.com/news/local/gov-s...e-vaccine-plan

Of course, we are still waiting on the vaccine - that is understandable.
Yet, Nevada Governor Steve Sisolak is putting forward plans to be prepared.

You know why?
He actually cares about all people in his state.
Which is more than can be said for most of his Republican counterparts.

Yeah, he probably didn't toss recent COVID patients into nursing homes early on in the epidemic either...like that caring governor in NY.

Hey....according to your "wisdom", wouldn't a Dem governor be expected
to hold off on an announcement like this for at least another week?

Sort of puts a hole in your "Dem Covid Conspiracy".
Shame to burst your bubble.

But they did save Javits Center and the hospital ship for when things got really bad, and had 30K respirators available to let others use

CORONAVIRUS IS NOW SPREADING LIKE WILD FIRE

Coincidentally, days before the election...in case there were any lingering "uncucked" out there...can we throw in a stock market crash before the end of the week as well? That would be pretty cool...

Fer god's sake they're all doing that. The "distribution plans" for the vaccine, should it ever arrive, will be like a huge nightmare, because allocations will be questioned, protested, etc.

Of course he's saying there's a plan. But you can't have a plan until you know distribution schedules and allocation.

Just saying you have a plan means you are jockeying, just like every governor in the U.S. will be doing, for their state.

You ain't seen nothing yet. Just wait. Wait til there are riots in the street because "your" demographic wasn't chosen to receive the vaccine first....you! Go to the back of the line! Yes, you!


Oh, by the way, every year I've been LECTURED how I must receive the senior double dose seasonal flu vaccine, not the regular one. I didn't even want it the first time, but they all leaned on me. Heavily.

GUess what? Fast forward to this year. Apparently, I'm being lied to. Because the vaccine for seniors doesn't apppear to be immediately available, like it's backordered or there's none or not enough. So instead of telling me this (the truth) it is now being suggested to me that I just get the regular flu shot, because it works just fine.

So it won't be toilet paper, now its the senior version of the flu shot. Look Idon't care, I'll take whatever is available. Just don't lie to me.
I've went to 2 pharmacies and 2 PCP offices.......no double dose.

Is that just Arkansas, or is this happening to anyone else? I have a feeling it's not everywhere. I guess I could call my state HD or something.......how easy is it to get where you are?

Not really that much more than it has been all along.

They've come out with some data on masks now that some places have been able to have trials on having them and not having them.

I guess that takes a while to do because beforehand it was just conjecture

I imagine that if more places do the mask ordinances, and their numbers are lowered, and esp. if lowered appreciably, then it will show that masks may be the way to go.

BTW what is this cuck word? Never hear it used so I googled it.

I found a lot of articles, mostly that it originated on the 4chan and 8chan forums and is also used on the alt-right fringe boards and the alt-right movement.

Are you in that category or what? I'm sort of surprised to see you start using it a lot? I know this is more or less a republican forum but i kinda didn't expect to encounter what the google search showed

I didn't read to far, as each entry seemed a little scarier than the next.

I googled: "where did cuck word come from" and this is what it returned:

https://www.google.com/search?q=wher...hrome&ie=UTF-8

CUCK is the perfect word to describe the average anti-Trumper voting for Biden.

I have coopted the word for my own devices. My definition of the word does not necessarily match any other found online. Sorry to disappoint.

But I like your attempt to throw in alt-right (surprised you didn't use white supremacist)...that in and of itself is a form of cucking...congrats!

Don't forget a self-destructive inept sorry ass incumbent POTUS who's embarrassing record is on display while pathetically moaning about "they are all out to get me", scaring seniors and women, (and little children)

A well thought out 4 dimensional chess master plan, by an unprecedented
"POLITICAL GENIUS"
