Maps and statistics aren’t partisan. But interesting that you’d take it personally. Pretty revealing. — Xtrix
The issue are anti-vaxxers, ignorance, and misinformation — Xtrix
I guess those with fanatical dispositions , political biases or agendas never manufacture statistics and maps. — Merkwurdichliebe
The issue is, the world is full of morons, both left and right — Merkwurdichliebe
So you're suggesting, without evidence, that vaccination rate numbers are wrong -- or that hospitalization rates/death rates are wrong, or both. — Xtrix
Am I suggesting that? By no means am I or would I. I have no issue with any statistics you provide concerning vaccination rate numbers, or hospitalization rates/death rates. Very strange mind you have, in which post of mine did you transmute that I was speaking about vaccination rate numbers, or hospitalization rates/death rates? — Merkwurdichliebe
Looking closer into the map, the cases spiking right now are among the states with high rates of unvaccinated people— mostly states run by Republicans.

Sounds like you are partisan minded. Just a cop out — Merkwurdichliebe
No, a fact. Maps and statistics aren’t partisan. — Xtrix
Really, they aren't? I guess those with fanatical dispositions , political biases or agendas never manufacture statistics and maps. We are all safe to believe all statistics and maps without nonpartisan scrutiny. Very convincing. — Merkwurdichliebe
So now you're saying that accusing me of being "partisan" was pertaining to the FACT that these rates are occurring "mostly in states run by Republicans"? — Xtrix
So here we have two sets of facts: (1) vaccination, hospitalization, and death statistics per state and (2) the political affiliation of those states governments. — Xtrix
I suppose it's "partisan minded" to link these two sets of facts? An odd thing to say, considering it's very well documented that conservatives are far more likely to refuse the vaccines than other demographics. — Xtrix
But continue gaslighting if you'd like. — Xtrix
Accussations from the one who has been trolling and gaslighting for pages. Resorting to ad hominem, typical of the defeated sophist — Merkwurdichliebe

Again, you are drawing correlations. — Merkwurdichliebe

I think there are probably multiple reasons for that, resistance to medical advice being only one of them. — frank
I don't think we'll ever have herd immunity for it the way we do with measles. — frank
That's my thought. I'm still trying to find the current level of herd immunity the experts say we're at globally, but no luck yet. — Merkwurdichliebe
A police spokesperson told the BBC that officers made the arrest after they noticed a suspicious looking vehicle travelling on a gravel road on the outskirts of the city.
"Upon seeing the police car, the vehicle did a u-turn and sped off trying to evade police," they said. "The vehicle was searched and police located the cash, alongside empty ounce bags and a large amount of takeaways."
Police photos showed at least three buckets of chicken, about 10 cups of coleslaw, a large package of fries, and four large bags containing other KFC items.
They also seized NZ$100,000 (US$70,000; £51,000) in cash.
It is unclear whether the men intended to sell the food or if they hoped to use it as a distraction if they were to be pulled over.
COVID-19 has now killed more Americans than the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic did, when roughly 675,000 people died.
By Tuesday, the number of COVID-19 deaths in the United States had passed 676,000, according to data from Johns Hopkins University.
About 1,900 Americans are now dying in the United States every day, on average — the highest level since last March. A simulation model designed by researchers at the University of Washington predicts an additional 100,000 Americans will die of COVID-19 by Jan. 1, 2022, which would bring the total death toll to 776,000, the AP reported.
