Sure he can...he'll simply be presented with even more accurate and meaningful facts. You can go back to your bunker lunch with Taos...

Explain how my post about Taos six weeks ago has anything to do with the facts I presented to 1926...that's right, you can't.

I don't have to? I told 26 to be careful, bc people just posting facts get accused of being happy that people are dying. I figured that was clearly a comment about how you all gang up on Taos for posting factual bad news. I guess I should've known you couldn't connect those obvious dots.

Update ..O deaths in my county due to CoVid..the Governor overreacted. Should of shut down NE Illinois a week earlier and left the rest of state open. We have yet to reach the statistical levels he used to shut the state down.

That's a false dichotomy. While I think that it's likely a very accurate depiction of events that (some) efforts reduced the spread, the same curves could have resulted with different efforts being taken. Again, I don't think that ANYONE is suggesting that nothing needed to be done, but many are critical of the WHAT was done.
Did you, by chance, open the WSJ link that I posted? Or even read the very small snip of text that I pasted? Social distancing has been shown, across multiple studies, to be effective. Shelter in place yields a very small incremental boost. The key driver in slowing the spread is reducing people in confined areas with little ventilation; a far cry from the shelter in place tactics that were used. Admittedly, the same false dichotomy argument can be made for my assertion. Either way, get grandma out of the nursing home.
That said, there's no denying that the efforts that were put in place did not work anywhere near as well for those who, from the beginning, we knew to be most at risk. 40% of deaths, give or take, have been in assisted care facilities (high risk population) and that doesn't even account for cases / deaths in penitentiaries (confined areas). So, here we are... efforts that kinda / sorta worked, but not really for those who were most likely to be impacted... yet we impacted everyone by shutting down the world economies and created non-trivial problems for those who would have never been impacted.

OK, perhaps that’s the case. I’m sure over the course of this someone somewhere here said ‘do nothing.’
Frankly, I may have passed that over as hyperbole and didn’t take it literally.

Wrong glass, Sir.
Texas reported a record for COVID hospitalizations on Monday with 2,326 admitted.
And even discounting rises in new cases as merely a function of increased testing is misleading since we're nowhere near universal testing, and testing is still being driven to a degree by people showing up to get tested because they have symptoms or were in direct contact with somebody who did test positive.

I looked at the stats for India, and at first nothing seemed drastic. Their number of cases is about 1/6 of ours, and death toll is about 1/10 of ours, while having four times the population. The numbers of daily cases has gone down 10% over the past week, since their all-time high of 12,375 on Jun 10th. So, things didn't look bad at all.
Then I noticed the huge fucking death spike on Jun 16th, which showed 2,006 deaths for that day when the previous one-day high was 395 (over a 500% increase). As you suggested about a possible reporting lag, worldometers had this to say about the tally for Jun 16th:
And that's only for the state of Maharashtra, so depending upon any lag in other states, most if not all of the huge one-day jump is due to past deaths being tallied for that day.
