Lies, damn lies, and... the show-me state...
« on: June 20, 2021, 12:26:25 PM »
Well, it seems that Missouri is a "Covid hotspot."
 
Because there are cases. They're up 52% - that's a big number!
 
A little further along in the story, you find that we're at 10 cases per hundred thousand population. Cases.
 
Media seems to have zero shame.

Hey, if you have two cases and another one shows up,

OMG OMG OMG THAT'S A 50% INCREASE IN ONLY ONE DAY !!

Clutch your pearls, fan your face, and fall gracefully onto the fainting couch.

Cumulative.  Is higher.

That is so strange.  I wonder how that happened.  Time for a lockdown!   :facepalm:

St. Louis County has very high population density, compared to other parts of the state. Here's how bad their stats are:

Better lock the place down.  Permanently.  It's the only way to beat the 'Rona!

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

In St. Louis City (which is NOT part of the County), we are at 530 deaths since the start of Operation Orange Man... That in the overall population is 0.166%. The vast majority of them from nursing homes, long-term care facilities, skilled nursing facilities, and hospices.
 
Yeah. Really.
