Huh, no friendly warning that he shouldn't post political in the virus thread. Huh.
What is political about that? I mean obviously the doctors were using politics to justify their action. But the post just presented a factual account of what happened.
But you must agree, his post was off topic and political. The very thing you seem very concerned with. But you didn't tell him, "hey bud watch it that's against the rules". Sad.
What did it have to do with the Corona virus?
It was on topic, because previous posts had mentioned things happening in Florida. And again, there was nothing political about it at all. The original post told about crazy people in Florida. I simply provided another example of such crazy people.
It had nothing to do with the virus, it was about two people clearly hating trump.
Everyone? Do they have a good plan in place to protect everyone?
Random samples do reduce sampling bias, but that's it. Let's say you had figures for the entire population of the US; there are plenty of studies that have just that these days. Would you prefer a random sample to that? Not likely, though you might check the population figures against a randomized study or two just to be on the safe side. Or let's say you did an internet poll (Civiqs does these; I get pestered regularly) that ends up with 30 - 40K respondents, properly weighted for representativeness. Results from those usually don't vary from what you find with random samples. It's the old "quantity has it's own quality" business. Here's Angus Deaton on the subject:
Yes we are to maintain safe distances and sterilize areas regularly. Common areas are to be closed to gatherings. Look, I work in a building with about 400 people and have about 45 people in one room alone (big room, divided up in cubicles. The walkways are only 3 feet wide, you have to literally turn sideways when two people walk past each other. Worst part, we are a software development group not some manufacturing org that HAS to be in person and hands on.
