You've been all over the place, and you have been wrong every time. 

Do you know what a normal distribution is (think symmetric bell shaped curve)? That has not been the graph in Ohio. Ohio has been exponential. If we were normal, we would be back to the low numbers of the beginning. Other states have had different graphs. New York state has been parabolic. Do you know what a parabola is?

I am now convinced you are just trolling as you aren’t reading and are just arguing to argue.


Have a good day, I am done.

Enter the data and run a regression equation. I'll bet you a beer that it doesn't come back as a function that is a normal distribution equation.

There's going to be some serious serial autocorrelation.

I wish I wasn’t a gym teacher so I could follow along. I need smaller words at a lower level to play.

The most braggadocios thread I've ever read on OC.

Missed that one - fortunately.  Insufferable.

One of the side effects of covid is confusion, delusion and hallucinations.  Maybe Giuliani has been a long-hauler all this time?

Left trying to slow him down?

Why would the left want to "slow him down"? He's a senile idiot who's impossible to take seriously because the only thing he's remotely capable of doing is making his own side look really dumb.

Trump must have some serious shit on Rudy. To think that he was once our country's hero.

You don’t think Rudy was highly regarded after 9/11

Yes I do.  That's why I said he was once one of America's heroes.  He was fantastic during that.  It's hard to reconcile that with what he's become.

How hard is it to be a mayor after a national tragedy and look good? Only thing you have to do is not gloat that you now have the tallest building in NY.

Who woulda thunk? Oh, anyone remotely intelligent. And the Chicago Teachers Union tweets out “ The push to reopen schools is rooted in sexism, racism and misogyny”. They don’t care about the kids at all.

I'd make a poll but I'm just lazy. 

Had this convo with some friends over the weekend.  

How long do you think we'll be wearing masks for? Not including dumbfuck no mandate states.

I'm going with now through the summer. Come fall things become "more normal." Thots?

Tough question.  I think some of the more "authoritarian" governors will require masks until there are virtually no active cases in their state, heck maybe even the US or world.

In theory, the answer would be May/June when everyone would have been vaccinated.  But like 40% of people don't want to take it (which would be @ how many get the flu vaccine, I think).  No idea how many will be needed for herd immunity, but some estimates are the number might be significantly lower than 60-80% typically believed.

Anyway, put me down for the end of summer with masks.  But I think it should be more like April after flu season finishes and most people have been vaccinated.
