DFA1970 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 It's really hard to stay positive. Italy as of overnight had almost 1,000 deaths in over 24 hrs. Nature is (sarcasm) saying you f'd us up...now it's time to go to your room. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaders in their field - especially when that field is research, are often wrong. Whicgh is why we do research in the first place. But that doesn’t mean they should be discounted.

Part of taking things seriously is to be serious about how statistics are used. So the people who know the most about the subject aren’t using statistics correctly? Seriously? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stopped reading the Atlantic piece after that moron tried to make a case for US tracking only 8 days behind Italy based solely on case count - as if both nations have the same number of people in the same amount of space, with the same cultural and hygenic behaviors, the same infrastructure, and the same timing and degree of response. Ummmm. You just used his premise as your response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(There is more in my post-secondary education and experience, but none of that was required for this issue. And besides, this is a discussion group, not an exercise in pulling rank on each other. Opinions are welcome, and they can stand on their own merits.) Do you have an opinion of your own on this? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keystone3ply Posted March 22, 2020 Share Posted March 22, 2020 How about that compressed DCI Tour 2020 starting in St. Louis July 12th, 2020. I'll take it along with just the regional & big shows. Was the "drop dead" date April 15th? COVID-19 be ######. Just reeling in the thread. Carry on my wayward son... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
