The only point to all of this I can gather is that this disease in not going away. It is in fact gaining speed like some of the experts were saying. I am of the opinion that it is worse than what most conservatives think and not as bad as most liberals think. Either way more people are going to die as an effect of the paralysis this country is in right now. There is nothing we can do about that and has clearly been exacerbated by the denial and mixed messages that the governing body has given.

Some experts and models suggest that we will be seeing 3K deaths per day by the end of the year. We are averaging less than 1/3 of that currently. I hope the models are wrong

I think its hard for the government (Federal or State) not to send a mixed message. The disease, testing, treatment, etc. is constantly changing almost daily. They send the best message they can, based on the best information available. It feels like everyone (conservative/liberal) is taking it much more serious. I see very few people not wearing masks now in major retail stores and restaurants.
Just on a conference call at work, guys son's college got closed for CV19 outbreak, son tested negative at the time. They drove home 8 hours together in the car. Son felt sick soon after they got home and tested positive. Dad tested negative.

HRC was ahead of Trump in every poll right up until election night, right? The makeup if the polls were very different, but yes and she did win the popular vote by a % that was within margin of error for most national polls from right before the election (obviously these polls reflect popular vote and not EC vote).

Right, most a being good w mask wearing except DJT and everyone else at the White House....at some point, they will need to change their ways and lead by example. Maybe I am expecting too much.

Then you get the opposite story with the Pats and only Cam Newton has come down with Covid. I have to say I am amazed that no one else on the team has tested positive since that story broke on Saturday. Could still be in the incubation/undetectable period for others on/involved with the team. Still kind of amazed the league is allowing this game to happen tonight, give what has transpired over the last week at the WH.

Bob, I think you are jumping to conclusions. Do you think this country is evenly split between Dems and Reps? It is not. Most surveys in the US put the numbers at 31% of Americans are identified as Democrats, 25% as Republican, and 40% as Independent. So I think the that poll sampling is not that bad.

Yes. Where is the info on party affiliation? It is the last segment at the end. Ahhh yes, there is it. I was looking up toward the top. Not that far off from how things line up in general, but enough for people like bob to throw shade at them. So how does it stack up to other polls? projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/president-general/www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/latest_polls/president/I like how RCP organizes their site better than FiveThirtyEight, but they both have most if not all of the national polls listed. Will be interesting to see what other national polls show this week.
