    Maybe with such small numbers, 1 extra case makes for a wild swing? Did they pick the smallest, ugliest sample size over 1 or 2 days to make their point and frighten people?.
    No. The cases have dropped 8 days in a row and 13 of the last 14, and dropped sharply. These are health dept data! NBC is outright lying. Disgusting.

    I’m sure they didn’t just pluck 64% out of the air. I wonder if they chose just Fulton County, or how they came up with that. It’s either sloppy reporting.........or something much worse. Unless the state is playing games with the numbers. I don’t trust Gov Kemp either. My little pipe dream is to catch one side, the other or both at playing fast and loose with the numbers to make thier point. But it will never happen......

    The Governor is a moron but manipulating health department data would be a serious criminal act, and I don’t think it is realistic possible. As to the 64%, no - data are what the data are. Unless they cherry picked the one day of the last 14 the cases didn’t drop and compared it to a day the cases were low during lockdown... and that would still be lying.

    People play (and lie) with numbers all the time. In this case, I just ask that they “show their work”. That would expose them.

    Dewine delays his announcement on daycares saying it has to be supported by science. Science says that Ohio has had ZERO deaths between the ages of 0 and 19 and two deaths between the ages of 20 and 29.

    People going back to work need care for their kids. People need to get back to work. My stance on all this stuff keeps swaying as new info comes in, but it’s so hard to know who and what to trust. What a mess we are!

    I don’t think his decision is being based on children dying, nor ever has it been. Not saying I think they should keep daycares closed but that it is more about disease transmission and their roles.

    I emailed and requested the source and data for this claim. If I hear back (not holding my breath) I’ll let you know what they say.

    A recent study shows that the herd immunity level is a lot lower than originally believed when accounting for how this thing actually spreads. Caveat: this is mathematically estimated, and we know how that has been working... https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1....06.20093336v1

    Is anyone else skeptical that all of these kids are asymptomatic petrie dishes that are getting everyone else sick? All of the studies say they “think” this is the case, but there has been no proof because kids aren’t getting tested. They all say most kids get this and spread it to others.

    Why the hell then wouldn’t they be giving antibody tests to a random sampling of kids to confirm that most have had this? Things just aren’t adding up with all of this. Every study says something different. I believe we’ve been misled in more ways than one.

    This is the reason they won’t open schools but I’ve yet to see one study confirming it to be true and scientifically proven.
