PhineasC Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 I just refuse to buy the (clearly politically slanted) notion that a biker rally is somehow fundamentally a much stronger vector for COVID spread than a packed rally/protest or the schools (especially colleges). I haven't looked closely at the study in question, but, scientifically speaking, it doesn't seem possible to be able to draw these kinds of conclusions this quickly given where most states are with their data.

Out the window I guess judging on the scientists who retweeted the story We know how it often goes if the people gathering are not liberals, 80% of the media reporting is scare mongering catering to a demographic and I been leaning liberal 35 years of my life but I can still call a spade a spade . 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I didn’t read the study trying to make that point or reference a comparison to any other type of gathering. I don’t agree with its numbers but even just mentioning a possible study of Sturgis, people seem to assume the authors have said it was worse than other things? University spread seems like it may be similar... certain schools are getting decimated and sent home where it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe these guys also had a similar study that said protests are not a significant vector of spread. They have been taking fire on Twitter over perceived bias between the two studies. Usual stuff these days. LOL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just didn’t see any comparison at all to anything else in that study, just a vacuum look at Sturgis. But these days I guess nothing is truly in a vacuum. I’ll have to read up on their past work, I’m sure Twitter is highly entertaining on this too, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreaves Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 I haven’t been paying much attention to MLB but I thought the Yankees were supposed to be pretty much a lock to be the AL rep in the WS. What the hell is going on there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good timing with that big announcement NDQ, SP fell to 50 day M.A and are bouncing this am. Maintaining a risk on stock atmosphere is key to sustaining insane tech bubble valuations, looks to me that no large stimulus in future (which was priced in) is the biggest culprit in ending the concentrated frenzied buying atmosphere that sustained NDQ thru (AAPL/FB/MSFT/AMZN/GOOG) I would anticipate High volatility unless that is passed or even a piece meal bill.

Think a lot of folks are diving back into older/previously collecting data sets. All political tweeters know their audience is looking for confirmation bias , not to do research on a tweets validity. It’s got to the point I would be skeptical of any tweet from any media outlet because any political media is in a mindset of war right now (politically) , and in addition vast majority of media (mainstream and “alternative”) have a clear bias for ratings which requires emotion (often knee jerk) thru their friends ( fear and division) and they cater to (if not MOLD) their audiences beliefs !, and their corona coverage is a case study in milking the fear button. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
