    he's going to have a hard time getting on the ballot in most/any states.. already deadlines have passed. you need to get signatures to get on the ballot in most states. some have fees which isn't an issue.. but CA and FL you need almost 200,000 signatures and the deadline for that is like a week or two or three from now.

    There really should be no "interpretation" of science.  It's just that we don't have a complete dataset and as such we have to extrapolate.  That's where biases can skew extrapolations and it's why the peer-review process for publication is so important.  This situation is moving so quickly that we don't have time for that process and thus you get everybody giving their opinion based on a small view of the whole picture.

    Yea I guess I'm referring to ideological, political and economic choice as to whether to accept science.

    Recently went to doc and was surprised to hear her covid and anti-vax views. Homeopathy books should have been a tell.

    Personally everything I've read suggests the fears of vaccination are nonsense science and views of covid being some conspiracy theory are very much intertwined with this.

    Opinions? Evidence? Data?

    Tbh, the number of confirmed cases at itself is quite meaningless. It depends on the number of tests done. And the percentage of positives from those tests. And then there's the obvious: look at the per capita to assess whether the highest count also means the highest per capita.

    There's not much to conclude from this graph, if you ask me.

    Adjust parameters yourself for satisfaction: https://ig.ft.com/coronavirus-chart/?areas=usa&areas=gbr&areasRegional=usny&areasRegional=usnj&cumulative=0&logScale=1&perMillion=0&values=deaths

    How are cops going to fix bad neighbourhoods though? How did they even become bad if cops were there?

    Could it be that it has other underlying problems than lack of policing?

    Systemic problems of inequality / race completely entwined with police issues. Same thing.

    He clearly doesn't know what the phrase means. And no, it isn't a phrase rooted in slavery:

    It doesn't refer to people, it refers to their skills and knowledge, etc.
