One of these graphs is Georgia’s ChinCOVID daily PCR-confirmed cases, by date of onset. Another is the state’s daily PCR tests administered, by date of collection. Both are as of 8/17/2021; so the past two weeks are considered preliminary data subject to change.* Guess which is which, in comments. Try not to cheat by looking at files names.

A.

B.

Now let’s consider a graph I will identify. This is daily percentage of PCR-positive tests administered (i.e.- percent positive out of all administered for each day).

Look at those surges.

Why, it’s almost as if we aren’t seeing so much a surge in viral spread, as we are seeing a surge in testing detecting what’s already widespread.

* Just two weeks of “preliminary” data, my ass. Yesterday’s reported daily cases included one back on July 6, 2020; since the CDC reports “new daily cases” by date of report to DPH, they list that case for August 17, 2021. Remember that when you see their inflated cases numbers and surges.

Parents Of Man Killed By Kyle Rittenhouse File Federal Suit Against Police
The parents of a man gunned down by teen shooter Kyle Rittenhouse during a Kenosha, Wis., protest over the police shooting of a Black man are suing city and county law enforcement agencies for letting armed citizens “mete out punishment as they saw fit.”

They’ve got a point. If the cops had just arrested their son when he was attacking Kyle, he’d probably still be alive. Oh. Wait.

John Huber and Karen Bloom maintain their son is a hero who sacrificed his life to protect others, the Tribune reported. Authorities say Huber was trying to disarm Rittenhouse shortly after the teen fatally shot Rosenbaum, the news outlet reported.

Your son was part of a gang that chased Kyle down the street, attacked him, knocked him to the ground, and hit him in the head with a skateboard. Your son aimed a gun at Kyle. Kyle refrained from shooting when your son lowered his pistol. Your son then raised his gun again.

…that Kel-Tec KSG-12. Wasn’t sure that was possible. But S&W managed it; the M&P 12.

… Dimocrat.

Photo ID and vaccine passport required by Mayor de Blasio to move freely in New York City
New Yorkers will now have to show photo IDs in order to engage in public life. Along with proof of vaccination, the mayor said “Whatever works, all you have to do is show that proof and have ID as well.”

“And it’s easy, all you have to do is show proof of vaccination — that could be a CDC paper card, that could be an Excelsior Pass, an NYC COVID Safe app, whatever works,” de Blasio said. “All you got to do is show that proof and have ID as well, and it’s straightforward.”

American Taliban
Five-hundred twelve bills, nearly every one is anti-rights. It’s time to call victim-disarming gun-grabbers exactly what they are.

Must see video; it’s only 19 seconds.

“highly educated and experienced scientists”

But all too true, if you think about it.

Afghanistan finally liberated from a regime that imposes mandatory face coverings, destroys statues, and promotes the genital mutilation of children

If anyone is offended, I’d be happy to do a longish post about my — complicated — thoughts about the invasion and the brave folks who deployed.

In prep for that, does anyone remember the original official reason for invading? (I subscribe to this theory, particularly since shortly after the “liberation” plans to do it were announced… to no avail.)
