What is with all these people claiming to be in the US, but clearly in a European time zone? It isn't even 7 am in California, how is that halfway through the day? The government day jobs that compile these results won't even get to work for another 2 hours on the west coast.
Except, I'm not being pessimistic, which is why I want you to provide evidence of my "doomsday preaching."
You haven't shown a single quote, you've simply elected to make shit up.
Apparently, you don't know what it is... thanks for admitting it. Your agenda is clear, you keep calling everyone doomsday preachers, do you want all the quotes of you doing it? Very well, I expect all your quotes of me being pessimistic. I'll hold my breath:
Yep, there you are, trying to muddy the waters by building straw men, and shitpost your way out of it.
Now, where's your evidence?
This is site has sadly been invested by bad faith posters for quite some time, claiming to be one or the other. I find most of them rather transparent after reading or even responding to their posts shortly, but some people really devote far too much time to it.
On the other hand forum moderators are rather understaffed so that's also a reason why these keep coming here, that and a very outdated forum software wise.
So this is a US only thread huh? Not my fucking fault for your stupid assumption that I was referring to merely US cases.
Anyway, the increase in new cases for US was only 1k-2k in the last three days. In the days prior it was constantly 3-4k increase in new cases. So there is still a slowdown like it or not.

Yes but the rate in increase daily is slowing down so things are improving slowly. I'm not saying it will vanish overnight
How is this evidence that I have an ulterior motive? They are my protests against your mockery towards my outlook. You said I had an ulterior motive for trying to back up my claim of stabilization. Where is it? And thank you for the quotations, some of the posts above already explains why I've said you are a doommonger. Look for it. Or ignore it like you always do. Now what is my so-called ulterior motive for a simple expression of optimism? Where is your evidence? Still waiting on it.
It's literally your quotes of your agenda, and you still have yet to produce anything... how sad.
Evidence provided, you are welcome... again.
Alas, you have yet to provide any evidence, so your baseless claims are noted. It's a shame you cannot provide any evidence of my doomsday preaching and alleged slander.

I gave a chart of declining growth factor numbers,you call it "bad faith". Those are not fake numbers. And I'm not saying the disease will vanish overnight.But a even little optimism is disallowed. What do you want then? Everyone to drown in sorrow and sob in bed every moment? Do you work for the papers or some politicians who benefit from a bleak outlook? Or just a miserly, miserable pathetic individual who cannot stand a little optimism from the others.? Because I cannot believe anyone can be so petty and dense.

The evidence is right within the quotes you provided. You can ctrl f "doomsday" and "preaching" within this page and find my explanation. Or you can continue to turn a blind eye. Now explain your accusation that I have an ulterior motive. Evidence please.

I'm going to just go ahead and leave this here:

Nope, I want to see my quotes, those are your comments. If your argument is that your quotes show that what I said is doomsaying, then I have some bad news for you. That's like me saying you are a rapist, and trying to argue that's evidence of you admitting you are a rapist.
Wait, china is lying about the numbers? Color me shocked!
Considering that there's some studies that say that as much as 50% of the infected are completely asymptomatic, you can double the number of reported cases from the start.

IIRC they closed all the facilites for now so the Small Pilgrimages are not allowed. But yeah I have a hard time seeing them cancelling this years Hadj, especially with the current oil price war ongoing.
But then, maybe most countries will still have their borders still locked by then...

No it's people who want to make bullshit stories up that make it disgusting. It's people who demand they get a test when they get the sniffles and are told no you don't need it then go on social media and blow it out of proportion that are disgusting. It's people who aren't actually from here and lie their asses off that are disgusting. So many workplaces are covering the costs of everything if you get diagnosed, so many are giving both full time and part time employees hours and hours of paid sick leave if they need it...even to take care of a loved one or take care of children. My relative was thought to have it a couple weeks ago. He went to the hospital (after being told to do so by a doctor over the phone) got the best of care, got tested, x-rays and cat scans of lungs, breathing treatments and sent home with tons of medication. Thank god he only had pneumonia...but the care he was given was outstanding. The cost....nothing...zero...zilch...zip. Quit bashing the US and our health care and spreading lies. It's not perfect, could use improvement....but so could all of yours and if you say otherwise I call bullshit.
What is wrong with me saying the virus is slowing down? It is totally consistent with my claims all along. And I have figures to back them up with.
Again. Ctrl F "doomsday" and "preaching" in this page, you will find my repeated explanation of why I think you are a pessimistic doommonger. Because you ridicule my outlook and ignore all the positive examples that I've provided. And again, you used a 500 decline example to illustrate against my 7k decline example, that is proof of your pessism and deliberate attempt to shoot down my optimism for the sake of it. That's why I termed you as a doommonger. Which means you are overly pessismistic. And hence I called you a doommonger. Because of your pessimism, And hence I termed you a doommonger. Because you are overly pessimistic etc etc etc..
Now you still haven't explained your claim that I have an ulterior motive. Please explain and provide evidence I have an ulterior motive.
