Come on Snowflake. Biden barely squeaks out a win. The question is whether does he make it past a year or will Kamala toe have to step in.

"Barely." Same EC margin Trump won by (which he called "a landslide") and more than twice the popular vote HRC had. Bigger margins in the swing states that Trump won last round too. Barely lol.

Hey - good news for Trump - only 178,324 people were diagnosed with covid yesterday and only 1,324 died from covid.

Trump is on pace to kill 400,000 Americans. Why, since the beginning of the month you can barely get to any news on TV, Radio, or newspapers with their effort to tells us everything Trump and his administration is doing to battle covid. Pence seems to be working around the clock. Wait a sec. They have literally said nothing; to busy doing?

Cuomo, Murphy and Lamont killed more old people than Father Time. The “news” has become a propaganda arm for the far left, and Biden is lining up his B Team for his cabinet. Obama flunkies, that were the second string in a bad administration. Quite a cracking squad he’s putting together.

Fixed it for you.

well in CT, forget about deaths... Lamont is killing business by the 1000's

Anyone remember when a substitute teacher in CT only needed an Associates Degree?

The Legislature changed it to 4 year degrees .

Staffing issues?

You actually need a Master's degree to be a sub in some towns. Ridiculous.

Yes, and this is what happens when a particular party has run the state for decades, gets contributions from the unions, and then does their bidding to pass Legislation to enrich them.

The “deep state “ is not an imagination. It exists in Government at every level, and as in CT , the policies, regulations and Legislative actions are so deeply entrenched it may never be able to be changed.

Would there be any “ staffing problems” if there was a larger pool to draw from?

Distance learning, sitting in front of screens does absolutely nothing for children. Zero.
Keeping children way from school , sports and activities is detrimental to the mental and physical health of children. Period.

It is amazing that the party that promotes “ Social Justice’ does their very best to promote injustice to the most needy and vulnerable. And innocent.

Come on Snowflake. You're a little math challenged.

2016:
Trump won by 78,000 votes in swing states that would have flipped the results.

2020:
Biden "won" by 43,000 votes in swing states that would have flipped the results.

Less than half the thin margin that Trump won in 2016. Yes Biden barely "won".

Come on Snowflake. MSM has your panties in a bunch. There will not be 400,000 people dead from COVID, those estimates are way off and don't consider the therapeutics that have been recently approved and the vaccines that on the way.

And as I've been saying all along, the actual case count is extremely inaccurate. There are a lot more people that were infected yesterday than 178,324, probably 3x to 5x that number.

Here is the most accurate modeler of COVID. He recently pulled together a site that shows a more accurate picture of infections. CT has more that 5X the number of infections than have tested positive.

Total infected in CT is more than 500K (not the 100k that have tested positive):

This model above is the correct and most accurate way to look at the spread of this virus.

Thank you Trump for the vaccines, therapeutics and DOW 30,000!!

No model can be deemed "correct" until after the fact. Modeling is only as good as the data and assumptions you put into it. More than one model has the US hitting 400K by February. They assume cases to continue spiking because people don't change their behaviors and states don't enact mask mandates and keep bars and restaurants open. But, if we do those things then cases and deaths slow down by February (but will still be in the low to mid 300s).

Trevor Bedform, a genomic epidemiologist at the Fred Hutchsinson Cancer Research Center, found there have been no improvements in the death rates since August. Since then, the death rate among those diagnosed with covid-19 has averaged 1.8 percent, he told The Atlantic.

“This rate is a major improvement, down more than tenfold from the earliest days of the pandemic, when deaths were high and the extreme limits on coronavirus testing held down the number of diagnosed cases,” The Atlantic's Alexis C. Madrigal and Whet Moser write.

“But in this new phase of the pandemic, when testing is more widely available and a much higher proportion of cases are diagnosed to begin with, it is also terrible, terrible news.”

The antibody treatments from Eli Lilly and Regeneron are the most promising treatments so far. But they’re in short supply and difficult to administer, so they’re not going to be a magic bullet for saving the nation from a massive death toll this winter.

“They’re very expensive and difficult to ramp up and produce at scale,” Dowdy said. “Do I really think these will move the needle on case fatality on a national level? Probably not.”

Come on Snowflake. Do you care that your references have been wrong over and over again, yet you still use them? Use your brain, do a little math. By the inauguration just about ever senior >75 with comorbidities will be vaccinated. There are not that many, probably 10-15 million in that population segment while about 20-30 million would have been vaccinated by then. Between now and then, the therapeutics, that were just approved will protect the most vulnerable as a bridge to the vaccine which will start being administered by December 12th (only 3 weeks away). In a couple weeks we will start seeing the mortality rate to start dropping.

Yes and this modeler has been the most accurate based on a comparison of previous predictions versus actual results.
