It’s an outlier even on a percentage change basis. One of only a handful of states losing over 0.5% of residents since the pandemic started. The “bottom five” for percentage change is, in order… DC, NY, Illinois, Hawaii, California.

I’m not making a values argument either way. It just seems apparent that people are tired of restrictions, and those people seem more likely to vote. The result in Virginia was shocking and should have been a wake up call to Democrats.

I disagree. I think the endgame is clear in the US. Most states have dropped all restrictions and those that haven’t will suffer economically and politically until they drop their restrictions. The only question is how much economic and po

It would be refreshing to see this level of scrutiny applied to bad news.

People come up with endless excuses to remain hysterical. There will never be enough evidence to show omicron is less severe. There is always some excuse as to why some data should be discarded or is not applicable. But when it comes to bad

Anecdotal, obviously, but I haven’t seen any new testing sites in Manhattan. The vans and tents have been there for months. The only change I’ve noticed is the lines. I walk past two tent sites on my way to the gym every single day. Been th

Perhaps so. I’m just on the lookout for good news, and it seems the good news is always wrapped up in caution tape. Maybe I’m just bitter.

Interesting. Thanks for the link. Do you happen to know of equivalent data for NYC? I’m apparently not adept at finding this information.

Seems the evidence bar for bad news is quite low, but the bar for good news is unbelievably high. Is there a good source for variant circulation? As a layperson how can I find what percentage of cases in a given area are from omicron vs del

I have no evidence to support this, but my assumption would be that if ESPN were offered separately they would need to charge substantially more to break even. My thesis for this is that most people aren’t sports fans, but they pay for spor
