Figure out the story you want to tell and then select the examples to support it while ignoring anything that doesn't.

This is our media.

This CNN article did just that. It talked about states opening early and cited Texas and Florida as rapidly rising cases, but didn't mention Georgia.

@longhorn320 would be happy to know, though, that the paragraph immediately following that talked about a potential spike due to the protests that could show up in the numbers in the coming weeks.
longhorn320 isnt happy at all talking about possible future effects is fine except the future is now

he will only be happy when MSM starts mentioning the protests as the cause of spikes which they will never do


nope opening up early will be listed as the main reason for spikes with little or no attention paid to the protesting

currently we have a huge portion of Seattle actually taken over by the protesters who are extorting local businesses for money

when Seattle sees a spike in the coming weeks in positive cases it will be said to be because they opened early

@longhorn320 I edited your post and took out the specifically political portion referring to specific political leaders.  Please keep this thread clear of that stuff.

Thank you for your support

Lol. Love you longhorn- this post immediately think of Bob Dole who always spoke in the 3rd party.  “ Bob Dole is for lower taxes”.

its impossible to have a discussion about MSM not mentioning the protests as a current cause without mentioning motive

you can censor me all you want but I do not support

One could say just the bolded part, and it would be super accurate.

Exactly, it's not a discussion. The MSM is an abstraction to complain about. I suppose the discussion can be concurrent complaints. But it's usually not much of substance.

Yeah, that steadily decreasing hospitalization data is a really positive trend in Georgia.  I'm happy to see that.

In Texas ours has been increasing, largely driven by the Houston metro.

But yesterday, we saw a pretty big increase here in Austin.  Hospitalizations, which had actually been decreasing for the previous week from 97 on 6/2 to 91 on 6/9, jumped up from 91 to 104 yesterday.  There's still plenty of room in the hospitals and ICUs in the metro area, but that's the largest single-day jump we've seen since the early weeks of this thing.  Definitely worthy of keeping an eye on it, and hopefully it's just a brief spike and not a trend.

the current hospitalizations count for Houston and Dallas areas are aprox 690 each 

both areas have had increases over the last 10 weeks

so its not just Houston but Dallas as well

Making deliberate, inflammatory posts, isn't going to help anything and it sure as shit isn't going to change anyone's mind.

I'll say the same thing to you that I say to the people whose views are opposite yours-- don't do it.  I'll continue to delete overtly political posts.  If you want to inflame others and argue politics, there are plenty of other places to do that, including an entire forum at the bottom of this site's front page.  Do it there.  Or, as long as badgerfan allows it, do it on the 2020 shitshow thread.

This one is for respectful and intelligent exchange of ideas on the Coronas.  And maybe some beer talk, as well.  badgerfan doesn't have any desire to read a flame war, and neither do I.

Thank you for your support.

Houston was increasing over a week before Dallas, in the most recent trends.  But Dallas had an uptick a couple of days ago, and Austin did yesterday.  No idea whether or not those are outliers, or the beginning of a trend.
