I think the acknowledgement of fault has to play a role, though, as well. We have to be allowed to make mistakes, yes, but we also have to be humble when they happen. I haven't seen any mea culpas from Drew, but maybe he did and they're not getting airtime. I do know that threatening to sue people for copyright infringement for posting freely-available clips of yoir own words is a great way to fan the flames.

Oh yeah I hadn't seen that, that is a horrible look

Looks like some healthcare workers are saying enough is enough and the best thing they can do for patients is put their employer out of business.

Yet Doctors and Nurses are being laid off or getting pay cuts all across the country. :facepalm:

Tribalism is literally going to kill us:

Political Beliefs affect Compliance with COVID-19 Social Distancing Orders

True words man. Each of us has to do our part. I personally need to step back and admit I don't understand other people's motivations. Assuming I do cheapens their lives and breaks down our unity as a people. E Plurbus Unum.

I dunno, UT. This sounds like a disclaimer...

The term robust in statistics means accurate. It seems robust to means accuracy is dependent on controlling for other factors; but, doesn't say whether they did or didn't. If they did, how well could they have factored them in? I'm not going to read the study to find out.

It doesn't seem that political affiliation would be a major factor. IMHO, a better argument could be made for religious affiliation posing a significant tribal detriment to safety.

Keep in mind; though, that we've been using adversarial systems for many things for a long time. It may not be the best in all circumstances; but, it keeps whole herds of humanity from running off the edge of a cliff at one time.

[BOLD MINE]

You can holler all you like that it's not a thing.

It's still a thing.

The Authority is Total
 

But don't worry, they're going to "write up papers" on this.

Trump supporters don't care. he's an authoritarian dictator, but he's their authoritarian dictator.

Not to worry, this is why we have a 2nd Amendment. :rolleyes:

It was only a month ago that everybody* demanded that if he didn't manage everything** he was incompetent

We used this down time to read the Constitution, good for us!



*for various definitions of everybody
**for various definitions of everything

Cuomo addressed that today actually.
