“Do not lose time on daily trivialities. Do not dwell on petty detail. For all of these things melt away and drift apart within the obscure traffic of time. Live well and live broadly. You are alive and living now. Now is the envy of all of the dead.” ~ Emily3, World of Tomorrow
Words to live by.
I'm absolutely no expert. I just had more time on my hands than most this past summer to look at a bunch of numbers. But yes, I fully expect that the masses of people at the polling stations will have an effect regardless of the safety precautions in place--particularly because you have people like that poll worker who tested positive but still came in to work anyway. You can drive as safely as possible and still be T-boned by some random asshole.

rofl. You are one of my favorite posters on this site. You and @Noxx79 The incredible fortitude you must have to live where you do. I'm glad your neighbors far to the south of you didn't vote in fucking laura loomer, even if your close neighbors voted in nutjob Geatz. shame they edited your sig. But the sully quote, I'm sure he's somewhere around here on another account, but in some corner of his bedroom in a fetal position crying so hard right now.

Fucking hilarious.
Trump tweet..THE OBSERVERS WERE NOT ALLOWED INTO THE COUNTING ROOMS. I WON THE ELECTION, GOT 71,000,000 LEGAL VOTES. BAD THINGS HAPPENED WHICH OUR OBSERVERS WERE NOT ALLOWED TO SEE. NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE. MILLIONS OF MAIL-IN BALLOTS WERE SENT TO PEOPLE WHO NEVER ASKED FOR THEM!
Twitter should get some balls and just take down these tweets. I know they loved the traffic past 4 years and I guess milk it til the 20th.
So they say Trump will have to adhere to the rules after his Presidency.

It's no wonder Trump has to get bad spray tans what with all this shade...

I saw an article that starting yesterday Illinois changed their reporting to align to CDC recommendations to record both tested positive and presumptive positive so I'm not 100% sure how much this surge is actually a surge vs changes to reporting. We'll have to see over the next couple of days.
Just for awareness some select quotes by Rochana:
I'm planning a trip to the USA around election time and I'll probably vote for Trump, just to spite the establishment Democrats... My displeasure with the Democratic Party's establishment is indeed so great that I'd not be upset if Trump won the elections again in 2020...Until then it can all burn down to the ground for all I care.

Breccia, thanks for this awesome thread, you are my hero!
I see you changed your avatar again. SPIEGEL did another brilliant front cover just like they did 4 years ago. I'm sure you'll like it, take a look.
The numbers Benggaul uses from Worldometers already included the presumptive cases, so there's no change there. There had only been about 7500 presumptive cases since they started counting cases anyway so the change doesn't really affect the daily numbers much. If you go to the Illinois health website, it shows about 18000 cases yesterday since they added all the old presumptive cases to that day's total, but there were about 10,376 actual new ones.
