you speak of funny... the funny is you trying to parse/wordsmith/craft something... anything... to counter a waldo point - you going so far as to imagine the waldo touts a gotcha! It ain't happening here, but keep on trying!
given your expressed 'tightness' with, as you say, "Dr Henry's statisticians and analysts and data crunchers", perhaps you could bring notice to the apparent unreleased methodology that arrived at the 30% interaction figure. Other than mentioning a reliance upon Google's COVID-19 Community Mobility Reports, the waldo's crack research team hasn't found any released details as to how the 30% figure has been arrived at. Wait, let me check with the team again for an update.............. nope, the team hasn't found any new info to help interested parties better understand and gain confidence in that 30% figure. Like you member kimmy, those who blindly and so willingly accept what's easily spoon-fed to them... and so easily digested, clearly have no curiosity or interest in such things!
note: the waldo provided 2 (of 5) category snapshot examples of the Reports data - strictly informative transfer. Most certainly the waldo didn't intend to bring forward yet another member kimmy wigOut moment where she rails on about "sciency looking"!
... the level of buy-in for the social distancing measures demonstrates a high level of public trust. The notion that the public won't trust their assessment seems unfounded.
certainly as I said, those like you member kimmy, those who blindly and so willingly accept what's easily spoon-fed to them... and so easily digested, they'll probably be the, uhhh... first responders to your bar opening! In any case, you should probably try a few googlies (or more closely read the 'Back To Work' thread, to recognize polls show the public overwhelmingly don't want the restrictions/shutdowns to end, any time soon!
And given the stated 50% mobility figure, the 30% contacts estimate is probably very conservative, given the kind of activities that are closed and the social distancing measures in place for things that remain open.
again, you haven't a clue as to how that 30% figure was arrived at - you're blindly accepting it without even asking for/wanting transparency in how it was arrived at. You have absolutely no basis to speak of it being, as you have, "
very conservative - probably"!
I've done university level science, math, and statistics. I'm very comfortable with graphs and all other sciency-looking things. And unlike some I'm well-equipped to assess whether they're supporting the claims that the waldo purports them to.
sure, sure - uhhh, why so defensive?
The way you're so taken aback by, as you're repeatedly saying, "sciency looking" stuff... and the way you absolutely failed in your recent "trend analysis", clearly shows you're better suited for the rigors of the mighty POC Squirrel!
