@MikeS13259672 @girlsreallyrule @arob12_ Every statistic on the charts is backed up with real numbers. All verified for accuracy. Something your spelling clearly shows you don't care about. Maybe once you start caring about accuracy, you can start to understand things.

[dangoodspeed @dangoodspeed]

@MikeS13259672 @girlsreallyrule @arob12_ That's what the charts show. COVID killed a lot. The flu kills about 25,000 Americans per year. COVID killed over a million Americans in the past few years. Almost all unvaxed. Almost all who died would have lived if they were vaccinated. That's what the hard numbers show.

@_wunderwood_ @Wardmaryb @DarkBlue420 @isaac_capt I do hope to do another update, but for some reason the updating script broke again and I just have to find the time to fix it.

[dangoodspeed @dangoodspeed]

After a six-month hiatus due to an import error and lower priorities, reports of an uptick in COVID cases inspired me to get the COVID charts up-to-date again. So all case and death data charts are now current, as always available at: https://t.co/Dyfupwg0xF

@timetobal13 @Jason @Austen It literally does lower your chances of death. The death rate of the unvaccinated is much higher than the vaccinated.

[dangoodspeed @dangoodspeed]

@timetobal13 @Jason @Austen Not sure if that story has any statistical significance. It's like saying "Most Americans who die are less than 80 years old". That doesn't mean you're less likely to die if you're over 80. And similarly, most Americans are vaccinated.

[dangoodspeed @dangoodspeed]

@dianepsych I do plan to. My script stopped working, I just have to find the time to debug it so I can keep using it for the updates.

[dangoodspeed @dangoodspeed]

Weekly COVID cases are falling, with one very notable exception- Maine. For some reason it's nearing 10x the new per-capita COVID cases compared the rest of the country. It's also leading the country in per-capita deaths. https://t.co/r3hC9EjOfk

@cornchipscotta1 So before June, the science wasn't in so no leadership could make any truly informed decisions about COVID policy and it was essentially random (other than where people travel the most) who was hit the hardest. Once it was known how to handle COVID, Republicans did much worse.

[dangoodspeed @dangoodspeed]

@cornchipscotta1 I never said that. I said the science wasn't in until June of 2020 for leaders to make science-based policies.

[dangoodspeed @dangoodspeed]

@love_r_republic @FinEssentials @MartinKulldorff @caseybmulligan @kerpen For clarification, the chart you linked to was since July 2020, which starts about the time the science was in for leaders to set policy to protect their people. The one for the vaccines started June '21 is here - https://t.co/JYG6e5HjgC

[dangoodspeed @dangoodspeed]

@lost_folk Did you even look at the other charts?

[dangoodspeed @dangoodspeed]

Just updated the partisanship colors based on the latest Cook Partisan Voting Index numbers. Every state that changed became more moderate. The CPVI groupings are 0-2, 3-7, 8-12, and 13+. You can see the new colors on the partisan charts like this one - https://t.co/pcx81okFaQ

[dangoodspeed @dangoodspeed]

@lost_folk That's the opposite of the truth. Starting the animation before the science was in that the states' leaders could use to place policy would be misleading and just skew the charts toward whatever states were sucker-punched before the science was in as far as how to react.

[dangoodspeed @dangoodspeed]

@lost_folk Nothing was removed. It's dishonest to say something was removed.

[dangoodspeed @dangoodspeed]

@_wunderwood_ Unfortunately, I'm limited in interface customization by what Flourish offers, and that feature is not included with Flourish (unless I make each state its own category which can get pretty messy).

[dangoodspeed @dangoodspeed]

@PCDawg02 @DemDifference @KimbleAllen @ClayTravis In every metric, California does better.

[dangoodspeed @dangoodspeed]

@Mikahh479 @vemcg @hitmeister1 @SilentNoMore21 Which states report anything different? This is using data that came from the states.

[dangoodspeed @dangoodspeed]

@TheJTM31 @ShawnTempesta @GWCOLEIII IN has almost twice the per-capita deaths in the past year than MA. And masks work by greatly reducing the spread of COVID. If you don't understand what "reducing" means, ask your math teacher.

[dangoodspeed @dangoodspeed]

@keith4355 @ShawnTempesta @Spencetology Wow, that's a lot of ignorant conspiracy chatter. The only months excluded were those where state leaders did not have the science to apply to laws and mandates, thus the entire reason for the partisan charts.

[dangoodspeed @dangoodspeed]

@keith4355 @ShawnTempesta @Spencetology Simple fact is Biden has been president during COVID longer than Trump, also through not one, but two killer variants far worse than the COVID we saw in 2020. And putting patients in nursing homes instead of overflowing hospitals was the right call at the time.
