They have an impressive presentation. Hard to argue with their logic. We are doing it backwards. Long, but worth watching. (I searched and didn't see it posted here.)

They come loaded with facts. Media tries to argue with them and they pretty much shut the media down with stats and facts. (It's about an hour, so you will have to have time to watch it.)

This is extremely informative, but those who want to keep everything locked down are doing it for a specific agenda.

Good argument for a great big beautiful coast to coast wall across the southern border ==> would surely save one life.

Everyone should watch this video.

Just finished. It's brilliant.

It's worth taking 50 minutes from your day. Well worth it.

i don't think they have an ideological agenda, maybe i am naive.

i think that these politicians simply lack the courage to stand up to the pressure, and to take the heat that will come if they re-open, even if strong data is on their side. can you imagine the pressure coming from aarp and other senior lobbies to protect these vulnerable populations? they have incredible political clout. and governors and mayors simply lack the courage to do what's right if it's tough or unpopular.

my two cents. worth exactly that

I want to point out a couple ways that extrapolating the tests data might be attacked.

1. Maybe someone knowledgeable about collecting unbiased probability data can chime in about when it is okay as to NOT introduce any bias when extrapolating data. Because, I would think that first people to want to be tested might be people who think they may have had the virus already, rather than the people who don't believe they had it. This MAY (or may not) reveal a different result when you extrapolate early tests from much larger actual samples and from people who are not thrilled about taking the test.

2. The tests (methods/results) themselves could be attacked as not being valid, which is something that may be planned already. I am not sure how much consensus has been reached been reached by both parties about this to avoid the BS that could come from attacking individual test methods/results later.

Nice find.. Bakersfield & Kern County in general have been based for a long time with all of the oil & agriculture workers through the years.

2016 election results. Only Red county on that immediate central/southern CA transition area.
