Chuck Todd," things are getting slightly better" Katy Turr, "every state has seen rises but one"

Chuck Todd and showing to be more than f****** useless

[Iliyah]

1. MSNBC during the day are showing partnerships with female and male . .

What's up with that?

[spooky3]

5. Is it a safety net for tech problems that can't be quickly solved? Nt

[spanone]

2. todd should learn to report the news (his job)

news programs today elevate reporters to pundits without any reasoning imho

[hlthe2b]

3. Todd has always been too lazy to keep up to date, just like his mentor, Tweety Matthews.

Which is why he is intensely ill-prepared (if even minimally willing) to do follow-up with blatantly lying RWers.

[spooky3]

4. Chucky figures that, because Trump wants him fired,

and Dems criticize his work, that must mean he is doing fair and balanced work.

[Wellstone ruled]

6. Close but no Cigar.

The Toad is VP of Political Affairs and he is trying to shape MSNBC in his Image. Much like Tweety tried to do .

Only will get worse.

[uponit7771]

9. +1, he does not come across as a deep thinker

[SouthernCal_Dem]

7. Chuck Todd is as useful as tits on a bull. nt

[Hoyt]

8. Is death and/or infection rate accelerating?

[uponit7771]

10. Sans NY yes, with a multiplier to each. NY now should be extrapolated in all stats. County level

... we're all doing horrible, it's no even close.

11. Seems to me deaths per day are declining. Things aren't great but they are a "bit" better.

I’m not going out, celebrating, or thinking trump has helped even a bit, but describing things as “a bit better” seems accurate.

[uponit7771]

12. If NY is added in yes but that hides what's happening in the rest the country (link) TRMS...

... explained it the other day that NY's cases skew what's happening in the rest of the country because there were so many in NY.

The CFR in the US is 5+ stable no matter were so we count the deaths from there.

Things are getting better in tri state area, not the rest of the country IE the reason why on the county level things are horrible with relative Ro's above 1 in over 95% of the US's 3007 counties.

[Hoyt]

13. Why should I exclude NY, which accounts for over 30% of deaths. My red state,

shows deaths per day declining too, notwithstanding our ignorant governor.

I don’t have a problem saying things are a “bit better.” I would gripe if someone says we are back to November, or even early April.

[uponit7771]

15. Exclude NY because of the skew in cases, she explains it pretty good. Your red state is under ...

... testing on a county level IE the covidactnow.org link.

Not only that, your red states county levels most of their Ro's are over 1

I have a problem saying things that are not relatively true over all no matter how it's put.

Yes, NY having a declining curve is good ... that's better than 2 weeks ago but the rest of the country empirically is being lit up bad.

> 1 Ro = bad

[brush]

17. NY is on the downside of the infection/death incline. The rest of the US is...

on the incline side. That's why.

[Hoyt]

18. I suppose you will exclude each state as it goes on downside, too?

[brush]

19. No other state skews the number like NY which has at least 3 times as many...

cases/deaths than any other state—four or more times many than some of the higher states. As I said, the rest of the nation is rising and NY is declining.

[Cha]

14. Prove It, Chuckie.. don't just spew for trump.

Cause that's what you're doing if you're not dealing in reality.

[uponit7771]

16. +1, He seems to want to please more than stay credible.

[SharonClark]

20. Just saw a few segments of Todd but he seemed paricularly "off" today.

And Katy Turr was following him with corrections.
