He’s either making shite up or using a source like Gateway Pundit or his uncle on Facebook.

In Arkansas, two weeks ago they predicted by today's date that there would be 3,000 confirmed cases in the state. Our number today was around the 830 mark. That tells me nothing about when we might peak but it does tell me predictions aren't facts yet the media believes them to be.

Yep - drama drama drama. The extremist blowhard democrats are really blowing shite out of their asses now! They can’t help it - it’s in their nature...

Oh, love talking to bots after a few drinks.... Keep the Obama blaming in the repertoire - that really hits home and makes you sound smart (knowing who the president was 4 years ago and such). Plus, the chicken little, Is extremely creative and I assume, really makes sense to those who follow chicken little.

What we have been doing as far as social distancing is sufficient to have caused a 90% reduction in estimated deaths?

That is a massive drop.


There was some error with their Alabama numbers before today. . .

Alabama projections were like 5 times higher, or worse, than similar neighboring states before today if I recall correctly.

If those projections are accurate, then that would be a massive massive win for the entire state of Louisiana.

At the same time, I will believe it when I see it. The state is already at almost 500 deaths. That would be a monumental decline in growth to only have 300 more deaths in 4 months.

The libs will soon call this a "massive overreaction" by Trump that "permanently damaged the economy" and demand impeachment for the next 4 3/4 years.

Alabama too. It projected Alabama to have 9K deaths last Tuesday. Now at 900 or so which is much more believable



Yeah, this damn model has been thrown out there by every hysterical sky screamer out there, and was one of the things used to bully Kay Ivey into the stay at home order. Yesterday they were predicting over 5,500 Alabama deaths by May 1. Now it is 900, and that may still be high. Unbelievable. We need to remember this shite when the scientists and modelers tell us we need to wreck our economy to prevent global warming.

Edit: As of this morning there is still an article up at al.com parroting this model to say that Alabama is going to have the highest per capita death rate in the nation. I wonder if they will report on the "revision."

Models change has new information is reported. Alabama's initial model was made prior to most social restrictions and based on extremely limited data. With new data, the model narrows.

It's like none of you have ever lived through a changing Hurricane cone of impact.

Well to use your hurricane cone of impact analogy, they have in one day gone from predicting landfall at t=New Orleans to predicting landfall at Cape May, New Jersey. Just maybe they aren't worth listening to at all.

Note: As of this morning, al.com still has an article up and prominently displayed that parrots this model and says that Alabama will be experiencing the highest per capita death rate in the nation.

The only issue I have is that even with all the precautionary steps, there is no way we would have had a 90% reduction.

People don’t do a good enough job of taking precautionary measures.

Yes, there would be a reduction, but this change is a sign that the initial number was overestimated by a lot.

That is just for Alabama though.

Was there a similar reduction of 90% with any other states?

That’s false.

Louisiana models changed for the better but were within the previous range.

It’s like a cone ten days out extended from Houston to Mobile just narrowed down to Lake Charles to Baton Rouge.

It’s just Alabama’s model because it had absolute shite data to begin with.

Louisiana’s model has been pretty solid.

Just to throw it out there for some reaction. Maybe the numbers are dropping because of what has been done so far to stop it.

The big issue is basing policy on “absolute shite data”.
