Not directly. That 5.8% death rate seems pretty high to me. I have noticed that on most sites, the number of recoveries doesn't seem to show up (though there is some data at the US state level, not that that helps with your question).

I was wrong! Looks like Florida! Two days now of records being broken for new infections, it seems. Screwed.

Thanks for sharing, I'll queue these up for watching

Interesting. while I don't think he's completely wrong (the mythic past one is spot on), I am reminded that when I was in middle and high school, all of my friends thought Bush was a fascist too. It's a common jeer by the left, no different than the right calling people commies. Not sure what I think of Trump in the grand scheme of things. For those who are fans of the history of the Roman republic, our recent past feels weirdly like what the Gracchi brothers presaged. A strong republic that began to see populist candidates rise up and dismantle their system. I feel this is a much more likely end result for Donny - he won't end up a dictator, but his destruction of so many norm (and blatant pandering to divisive politics) seems it could easily presage the coming of an actual dictator. That is just as worrying to me. (and yes I realize the Gracchi were mostly pushing *good* reforms, but their methods and the ultimate result seem similar to what we see now) Anyway, this video also would feel more weighty if the professor didn't seem like he cried a lot during gym class ?

I've always thought of him more as a libertarian stoner, myself. Likes guns, drugs, small government and personal choice. Do any of you listen to the podcast Hardcore History? If not, I highly recommend it. I bring this up because (apart from it being ASTOUNDINGLY GOOD!) the host has another show called "Common Sense," which is basically a current events/politics podcast. There's a back catalog of a few hundred episodes but after the last election he basically clammed up. I bring this up because the guy (Dan Carlin - who coincidentally is friends with Joe Rogan and has been on his show many times!) was kinda-sorta on the Trump side in the runup to the last election. His rationale is that the system in much of the West is fundamentally broken; too much power's been entrenched in the political class, etc etc. A lot of stuff that I think is pretty much spot-on. He also was mildly pro-Bernie for much the same reason as he liked Trump. His many criticisms of Clinton were, in my opinion, also very well thought out (and he absolutely nothing to do with the conspiracy theories and alt-right insanity that we see on twitter today). Anyway, this is a very roundabout way of saying that people like Rogan may have liked Trump before the last election simply because he represented an opportunity to do away with that "swamp" that he likes to talk about draining. It would have been an amazing thing, had Trump become an actual leader. Or even just a slightly incompetent one. Oh and Common Sense has only updated maybe two times in the last three years now because the actual reality of Donny has seen the host becoming utterly depressed over the state of politics today. Then again, anyone with eyes could have seen this coming so I can't say I really pity him that much.

Well I'll say that 110% of politics is pandering to certain demographics. That is not necessarily identity politics, which focuses on identity to the exclusion of general policy. Trump's strategy is to hit exactly the people who can swing the specific states that he needs to get over the electoral college threshold. There is nothing particularly novel about Biden committing to choosing a woman. That's not identity politics; the only difference between him choosing a woman and Trump choosing Pence is gender. There's a reason Trump chose a religious zealot - it is designed to sway the religious zealots (though I guess you can argue that Republicans have mastered the multi-identity coalition - see note below). Biden's casting a wider net because suburban women broke ranks with democrats last cycle and voted for Trump at a surprisingly high rate. Hell, I'd also argue that most far-left would think that Biden is too far removed from the world of identity politics. One of many reasons they hate him, but it is probably not a coincidence that Biden overwhelmingly crushed Sanders. Note: It's always struck me as interesting that the Republicans have managed to gather a few VERY INTENSE groups together that will consistently vote in concert. Evangelicals Gun owners Anti-regulation capitalists Each of these has their own "bugbear" - evangelicals hate gays, gun owners care only about owning guns, the capitalists care about removing regulations. There's no reason someone who wants to be able to pollute at his factory should care about gay rights or gun ownership, but it's striking how these all move in complete lockstep. The Democrats, meanwhile, are fantastic at eating their own and can't manage this nearly as well.

It's very striking that the people who think Uncle Joe has dementia are 1) Trump fans and 2) Bernie bros. I still haven't seen an actual diagnosis beyond you just not liking him. Joe Rogan is entertaining but also a colossal moron. He's truly a font of wisdom, as long as that wisdom is pseudoscience and anarcho-libertarianism. And I say that as someone with a soft spot for libertarians.

It's tough being the sexiest!

Hey, Pepito is 100% right on this!

Haha yeah he's such a huge fan of the NT that he has to come in here and vomit on us

Grim I think the race is on to determine who the next hot spot is, but my money's on Texas or California. Too many big cities/large populations. Dark horse is Florida.

What are you arguing at this point? Still basing this on your diagnosis? If YoU rEaRrAnGe BiDeN's NaMe YoU gEt DeMeNtIa!!!

I wonder if we'll ever learn how many people actually died in China from this.

Bernie stood a better chance, even though he's never been able to get more than 25% of the vote among the left-wing party. I feel like I'm on twitter now; this is ridiculous.

I think he's soft on PAOK personally

What evidence? We've been through this. The "crime" and punishment were decided upon beforehand, wam bam thank you ma'am.

So are we ACTUALLY going to have a team full of Greeks next season? I still very much doubt it!

So they overturned it, but took four months to announce findings? Lulz

Utterly insane that people think he has dementia. Is this a low-key way of making fun of someone with a stutter? #SAD! And honestly, if Trump wants to mock people for physical ailments (which we all know he does) - hopefully he can explain his own history of slurred speech, in addition to his recent water-drinking and ramp-walking escapades. For comparison, two handy videos:

That is insane. It's almost as if the WHO wants people to stop respecting them. From what I've seen, multiple scientific studies have confirmed that masks at the very least stop people who are sick from infecting new people. Is that not reason enough to use it?

Game ends 0-0. I guess that's an improvement.

Team hasn't looked bad. Lots of chances, though we definitely are lacking some rhythm. Esiti has been very good. Looks like Lamprou is getting ready to come on. -edit- I also see Ferreira is giving Matos some sort of lecture with his magnetic board. Vieirinha off?

Links if you got 'em, I guess. -edit- here's a link: http://live.harleyquinnwidget.live/freelivematch/797667013092430.html

We will, but I'd put Esiti in there. If he can throw some of that muscle around it might make all the difference here. We probably could have used him against Olympiakos as well. For me, any game where we're leading with 20 minutes to go is one where we should throw a youngster on. It's been so long since I've watched any games that I can't remember who has already played - was Tsiggaras the one who looked good all those months ago?

Eventually, others will realize that and carry the virus north as well. Hopefully you'll be able to stock up on toilet paper soon!
