One possible explanation of the decline in flu positive tests. Definitely beyond my scope so not sure what to make of it.

Amazing....there’s misinformation about the bill.

Looking back a year ago at how not to play president. Maybe if he had tried to be a leader and face grave challenges head-on instead of trying to hide the seriousness he'd still be in the White House. But he doesn't have those abilities.
And yet the Qult still supports him. Baffling how people can support such incompetence even if one agrees with his policies which are....well, ummm???

I wonder how many of the Qult in attendance at this rally now look back at this as the beginning of the end of the Trump presidency. Probably zero. It easier to caste blame at fake enemies and drum up conspiracy theories than it is to self reflect and fix strategic blunders going forward.

Yep...Zero.
Anyone in the Qult went because they love and are devoted to Trump.
Anyone who has had the wake up call isn’t there.
Interesting quick read. York isn’t Never Trump but he also isn’t a Trump supporter. He puts things into perspective quite nicely when comparing the US Covid Outcomes to European Nations.

This is an especially important point that most people on here don’t acknowledge when comparing death totals across countries.
When Silver wrote that Europe's handling of the pandemic has been "worse than the US's on balance," the leftist writer Josh Marshall responded, "That seems a bit overstated. Only Italy has a higher per capita death toll out of major EU states. US death toll is almost twice that of Germany."
But that's not the only way to compare performance, Silver responded. "The per-capita death toll so far is reasonably similar between the major non-Germany EU countries and the US, especially given ambiguities in how deaths are counted," he wrote. "And our vaccine rollout is hugely better than theirs."

Math question. How do they get 15%? In 2019, the population was 328 million. So, 75 million would be 22.8%.
For it to be 15%, the population would need to be 500 million.
