If this were Logan's Run, you'd have been selected for Carousel.

The point was that the odds are she wasn't good at her job, was displaying obsolete data, and failed to follow best practices resulting in an incorrect dashboard that needs a lot of maintenance and repair. Is @1LuvCane right? Do I need to explain it better?

Sure, this dashboard was probably done in a tool like Qlik or Tableau. There are several ways they can be populated with data. The best way is to pull straight from the database. That's also the least likely. Data gets revised and it's better to not have to explain why the numbers for X day have...

It's also a gross misrepresentation that aims to make a likely benign action into some political conspiracy. The Covid forum goes into this at length.

We've had pandemics that were variants of influenza. That's not exactly novel. If this is just another like we've already had, then why the extraordinary measures. We know there's a possibility that plenty of things can happen, but don't see it as an imminent threat. How are we planning for the...

Here's a crazy thought. Maybe nobody took the concept of this type of pandemic as a serious possibility that could happen in our lifetimes. Maybe because we knew so little about how it spreads and how contagious it was we weren't prepared because we didn't know. Maybe China and the WHO failed...

I'm more curious why people think this is the problem it is because of something we did wrong all the while the rest of the world was doing the same.

It was, then it was ventilators, then back to testing, now it's a vaccine.

South Korea had a scare with SARS so they planned ahead to make sure theyd be prepared. In addition to rapidly developing a test (without ******** it up and having to start over), they use EHR data in a way that would violate HIPAA here, and track people via their cell phones. Then, when a...

I've been polite and respectful this whole conversation. You've gotten more upset with each post and your responses reflect that. I've also never claimed to be a rugged individualist or admire any president, but since you're fond of strawmen... If you really want to push the one size fits all...

I must have mistaken your meaning when you said this: Testing does take man-hours and does have a cost associated with it, I don't know why you'd think otherwise. It's not like hospitals or labs have dozens of extra people and equipment sitting around waiting for something to do. I've never...

If they have to play without fans, I'll donate, but just as long as they play.

You were the one that said people travel and the virus doesn't respect borders. The NJ governor is opening the Jersey Shore for Memorial Day. That's not being done in Dade or Broward. Please do go on about how FL or GA are causing problems for NY. When you say we're not doing enough testing and...

Who exactly are you going to test? If you look at NY, they've already tested 64,713 per million. That would put them in the top 10 countries in the world both in total tests and per capita. Testing otherwise healthy people is a waste of time and resources and would need to be done daily to be...

It's sad, but I know. An engineer friend of mine used to have a job where one of his responsibilities was to set up assembly lines in China. The biggest problems he had were all related to quality control. But if enough checks and balances were in place, they never had an issue. It wasn't for...

Gotcha. The only test in question that I'm familiar with is the Abbott one and I'd bet they're working to improve it. I wouldn't trust the Chinese tests at all.

You have to know it's not that simple. The simple number of people along with the logistics of administering and processing tests is completely different here than a smaller, less populated country. Not to mention that a person who is negative one day might get it the next. A national plan...
