Its not bullshit just because you can't refute it. Sorry, GWB. I know this is hard on you. I'm heading out for lunch, but when I get back I'll see if I can't figure this out. Try not to get spittle on your computer screen in your tantrums, ok?
You can not stop a Covidiot from being a Covidiot nor worth the time & energy debating with a Covidiot. Best to let it go (as in ignore it and move on) because they will do what they do involving their misinformation / disinformation of Covid-19. wrbtrader
Note that these are death totals -- so if no new deaths occurred on 1/21, 1/22. and 1/23 in the country then the death total will remain at 386. Same for cases -- they are a running total.
It is also interesting the first mask mandate in Collier County ran from July 21st to September 3rd. The chart shows that cases started rising quickly in the county after the mask mandate ended in September. This supports the case that masks work. After the cases started rising in the fall the country implemented a second mask mandate which expires on April 13, 2021.
Obviously you still don't understand the different between R0 and R despite it being explained to you multiple times complete with links to scientific references and papers.
Resident of Sweden who is critical of government COVID policy has to flee Sweden after the government controlled public radio launches a campaign against him. A radio campaign described by other Swedish reporters as "among the most unpleasant and anti-democratic things I have seen from the public [broadcaster]." Limerick man flees Sweden over criticism of his Covid-19 campaign Keith Begg set up an online group critical of Swedish policy but he suffered a backlash https://www.irishtimes.com/news/wor...-criticism-of-his-covid-19-campaign-1.4493317 A Limerick man has fled his adopted home of Sweden, fearing for his safety, after national public radio suggested an online group he moderated, which was critical of Sweden’s Covid-19 strategy, was a national security threat. Keith Begg set up a private Facebook group with the aim of “exposing the failed Swedish Covid-19 strategy”. But a recent national Swedish radio report portrayed his online activities as “attempting to influence Swedish interests abroad”, triggering a wave of abuse and threats. After nearly eight years in the country, the 46-year-old dual citizen of Sweden and Ireland decided to return to Limerick. “I received a letter in my postbox referring to me as a traitor, I got hate speech . . . calling me a dirty foreigner,” he says. “It was getting so vitriolic, I was worried about a brick through the window and the safety of myself, my husband and our two cats.” Unlike its European neighbours, Sweden declined to impose hard lockdowns and only recently has adopted additional measures such as face masks on public transport. The country of 10 million has 12,713 registered deaths from Covid-19, nearly five times higher than the combined death toll of its Nordic neighbours. Alarmed by what he saw as uncritical coverage of the government, Begg set up Media Watchdogs of Sweden (Mewas) as an NGO in April 2020.* He says the closed Facebook group covered in the radio report, with about 200 members from many countries and professions, arose because members were tired of being attacked in other forums for expressing views that dissented from the Swedish mainstream. Public radio In recent weeks a journalist with Swedish public radio (SR) joined the chat undercover. Listeners were told, in a 20-minute report, that members of a “secret” group thought Swedes were being “brainwashed” by “perpetrator” public health officials who should be put on trial. As well as “unpleasant” language, SR noted group members had contacted EU embassies to “influence governments in Europe to have quarantine rules for Swedes travelling abroad and to keep the borders closed to Sweden”. Begg, a long-time advocate in human rights and environmental issues, insists he did nothing beyond normal campaigning work. He wrote to other EU embassies, urging their governments to study Swedish infection data closely. He wrote to MEPs, accusing Sweden of violating citizens’ human rights for denying healthcare or basing treatment decisions on age or underlying conditions. He has also challenged what he calls skewed reports by Swedish authorities on how keeping open its schools has had no negative public health effects. The responding rhetoric from some public health officials, experts and media was, he says, “incredibly troubling, like something from an authoritarian state”. “We have been portrayed as a clandestine group, and I’ve been called a terrorist, when we are just ordinary citizens who advocate in their spare time,” he said. When a group of scientists critical of the Swedish strategy published opinion pieces in the national press, they too were criticised in public forums and many are now unwilling to comment on the pandemic. Wider criticisms The SR report on Begg’s group has been criticised from many quarters. Lisa Bjurwald, a leading investigative journalist in Sweden, described the radio report as “among the most unpleasant and anti-democratic things I have seen from the public [broadcaster] during the entire pandemic”. Swedish radio did not respond to requests for comment. Prof Andrej Kokkonen, political scientist at the University of Gothenburg, suggests the attacks reflect a growing dilemma among Swedish politicians – government and opposition – to justify their support for the original strategy as Sweden pivots towards tighter restrictions. “I was quite shocked by the broadcast because, what they described as problematic are, for me, just normal attempts to affect public debate,” said Prof Kokkonen. “This is just the normal way a democracy works.” Begg says he is “exhausted but relieved” to be back in Ireland where, with its clear rules and restrictions, he feels safer. He has no plans to return to Sweden which, in the middle of a pandemic, he says is more concerned with its public image abroad than public health at home. “Sweden has put itself on such a pedestal of exceptionalist arrogance,” he said. “There’s a very narrow corridor of opinion and, if you fall outside of that, you’re a troublemaker or radical. I’m expecting them next to suggest I’m aligned with the IRA.”
Swedish Prime Minister Sees High Risk of New Wave of Covid Infections https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-02-24/swedish-pm-sees-high-risk-of-new-wave-of-covid-infections Sweden’s prime minister, Stefan Lofven, said there’s now a “high risk” of a new spike in coronavirus infections, potentially warranting the country’s first lockdown since the pandemic started almost a year ago. “We are seeing an increase in cases again, we need to take new measures,” Lofven said at a press briefing in Stockholm on Wednesday. “If the situation gets worse, the government is prepared to enforce a possible lockdown in parts of Sweden. Hopefully that will not be needed.” Sweden has had to acknowledge that its earlier laissez-faire response to the pandemic resulted in a much higher death rate than seen among its Nordic neighbors, prompting the government to reverse course. Last month, Sweden enacted a law that allows it to impose lockdowns, and authorities have progressively tightened requirements this year. Meanwhile, Sweden’s infection rate has continued to rise. In Stockholm, the number of new coronavirus cases jumped 27% last week. Lofven said the development called for a number of stricter measures, including... Limits on the number of people allowed into shops and gyms Restaurants across the country won’t be allowed to stay open past 8:30 p.m., starting March 1 Schools may need to be closed if the infection rate continues to rise
Right. so saying there is no 386 on a chart that shows daily counts isn't going to make sense, right? I wonder if he did a total Florida death count (assuming this is deaths, as cases don't seem to match and the death count for Florida does). I've put out a request to the author to better understand what data he used. If he responds and clarifies, I'll put it out here. If he does not, or does not respond satisfactorily about the reconciliation, I'll let you know that as well. In the interim, I'll see if I can't figure out what he was using.
I disagree. The first one did expire as you stated, but the second one was put in place October 22nd. So this does not support the case that masks mandates work. This isn't about the effectiveness of masks. It is about the effectiveness of mandating their usage. That is an important distinction. For the record, I believe that masks work. I do not believe that mask mandates work - not in the US and not with Americans.
