I was diagnose of genital herpes in 2018 and i have been searching and asking questions to see if i could get something to cure the disease because i did not believe what the doctors say that no cure is found yet. I came across a comment on Youtube and the person testify how she was cured from herpes and hpv after using Dr Uromi herbal medicine. I quickly contact Dr Uromi and explain my problem to him and he prepare the herbs and send it to me through UPS and gave me instructions on how to use it and tell me to go for checkup after usage which i did after two weeks of taken the herbal medicine and my result was NEGATIVE. I waited another month and retested the result was still NEGATIVE and my doctor told me that am completely free from herpes. Am so happy and grateful to Dr Uromi for what he has done for me and i will continue to share this for people out there to know that there is cure for herpes. You can contact Dr Uromi on email and WhatsApp to get the cure from him.

So does the checkout clerk at Walmart<br /><br /><i>Somerby's insistence that the death rate and not the total deaths be reported is just a choice.</i><br /><br />I sure hope you’re good at numbers, ‘cause you’re an utter failure at words. Where does TDH “insist” that the death rate be reported to the exclusion of death totals? Hint: he doesn’t.<br /><br /><i>All the graph manipulation in Kevin Drum's toolbox won't erase the FACT that 90,000 people have died in the USA, including a great many preventable deaths, deaths that shouldn't have happened.</i><br /><br />Yeah, as opposed to all those great many preventable deaths that should have happened. Look, you’ve got yourself all worked up for a fight for which you have no opponent.<br /><br /><i>Further, each of the people contributing to that total deserves to be acknowledged.

Slow clap from me.<br /><br /><i>Now you can pretend that this is about statistics and that statistical best practice is to use the rate instead of total deaths. That isn't true. It depends on your motives for creating the graph, what you are trying to convey.</i><br /><br />I don’t have to pretend that this is about statistics. It simply is about statistics, and yes, in most cases you have to normalize your data to make sensible comparisons. And the best way to understand data never depends on motive. I’d think someone who deals with numbers for a living would understand that.<br /><br /><i>What is Somerby trying to convey by minimizing the deaths on Trump's watch? You tell me.</i><br /><br />If I’ve told you once,….<br /><br />TDH is not minimizing Trump’s death count. He’s objecting to reporters’ misleading claims.<br /><br />Let me turn this around.

Somerby's insistence that the death rate and not the total deaths be reported is just a choice. The reporter made a different choice. Which you use depends on your purposes.<br /><br />Today Kevin Drum joins in with graphs:<br /><br />"Our death total of 90,000 sounds bad, but it’s mostly because we’re a big country. If you look at COVID-19 deaths per capita, as you should, we’re about average among developed Western countries."<br /><br />This may be true, but if you are a large country, more people die even if the rate of death is the same or smaller than those less populous countries. Because more people are being affected, there is a great responsibility to address the crisis competently, because many more lives are at stake.<br /><br />All the graph manipulation in Kevin Drum's toolbox won't erase the FACT that 90,000 people have died in the USA, including a great many preventable deaths, deaths that shouldn't have happened.<br /><br />Why would someone want to minimize the appearance of all those deaths? I don't know -- perhaps because Dear Leader is running for re-election? Reporting the death rate instead of total deaths makes Trump's incompetence seem less than it is. Further, each of the people contributing to that total deserves to be acknowledged. These are real people dying, not bars on a graph.<br /><br />Now you can pretend that this is about statistics and that statistical best practice is to use the rate instead of total deaths. That isn't true. It depends on your motives for creating the graph, what you are trying to convey. What is Somerby trying to convey by minimizing the deaths on Trump's watch?
