it isn't horrible, it isn't amazing. It's just what it is. So is selling balloons at a fair and being IT midlevel manager. I made way money elsewhere and I wouldn't go back unless I had to. YMMV

PS We just need to bump up the ATP age to like 35, so that people have a chance to experience other jobs in life before coming over here. Would weed out both sore a-holes and bushy tailed ificouldidflyforfrees.

The media does get it. That’s why that part of their numbers game is left out of the “reporting”. All media has a bias, but the reality is negative media serves a purpose, even if it is to continue to just keep the “value” of media hyped up.

I'm not, I bailed for an ACMI. Really sweated it, wondering if I was doing the right thing giving up flow. But after this I wouldn't be flowing anyway.

There is great truth in having more experience in life than just flying students in a traffic pattern.

If you are who I think you are, you didn't really like it here to begin with and ACMI was more in line with what you wanted to do anyways, which is great - when people are doing what they want to be doing they are happier.

This is incorrect. Deaths are not decreasing. We haven't developed a vaccine nor are we suddenly much much better at treatment. Let me introduce you to Simpson's paradox. The problem is with the way the data has been grouped together and incorrectly weighted. If you throw in New York and other areas that have already seen their outbreak and are currently in decline, it will skew the data.

Deaths lag infections, this is a fact. There are new hotspots in Florida, Texas, California and others. You need to take a look at the breakdown per county, or at the very least per state to get a better idea of what is going on. You'll see that cases are dramatically increasing in these areas, and in a few weeks deaths will be as well.

This is a serious illness, and it's time to stop denying it. The sooner people do what is necessary (wearing masks, social distancing, quarantine.) the sooner this will be over and we can return to normal life. It's time to take this seriously and stop denying it for dumbass political reasons.

Every positive test is counted as a new case. I personally know two people who have gone back to retest multiple times after 2 weeks who keep testing positive, between them 17 positives tests counted as new cases.

work won’t allow them back until they test negative.

So yes, data is definitely skewed.

Or thinking this is the apocalypse for dumbass political reasons (i,e. looks bad for Trump). You don't think the NYT, CNN, or NBC doesn't skew data? It works both ways brother.

Retests are counted towards total tests administered not positive cases. Get your facts straight. People keep coming up with these bogus reasons to doubt this virus. Do some research, it's not that hard. And no, Fox news is not a reputable source.
