Show your work. I believe the lower bound with 95% confidence interval to be around a third. Upper bound, 2/3.
No, I didn't. Neither did most of my compatriots.
Vladimir Putin appointed him, with the complicity of a brainwashed 28% of the electorate and a little help from MBS.

It was regarding whether America’s renowned stubbornness would have eventually fucked the US over even with an early closure.

Maybe so. IMHO a competent, well intended leader could have harnessed that same stubbornness to unify the populace in taking action to suppress the virus' spread. Water under the bridge at this point - the Divider in Chief will have his way until and unless we get rid of him.

Congrats on Russia’s low Covid-19 death toll relative to total number of cases. Deaths from political expediency are peaking though.

Covid Death rate has been increasing steadily in Russia.

Yeah, a respectable third place in New Cases yesterday, and sixth in daily deaths. But still, a paltry 31 deaths per million citizens leaves a lot of room for "improvement".

Doesn't make ME feel better at all. The fact that the US democracy is that vulnerable to a malevolent foreign dictator shouldn't make anyone "feel better" (except of course those under the thrall of said dictator, barbos).

I don't really understand where are you going with this Russia COVID-19 statistics.

Hmmm, now why was this thread abandoned?
Could it be because Wisconsin 7-day average new cases has declined sharply over the past week?

I would not call that a decline, let alone sharp decline. Looks like "no change" to me
Well, it's now Woke to have large gatherings and ignore social distancing. So gotta memory-hole this thread.

Yes, that's the graph I saw. And it's too early to see the increase due to riots.
Something's wrong with that data--look how extreme the day-to-day swings are from the middle of May on. Better than the local data here of clearly increasing cases, though.

As you prefer, Trausti. Behave as you wish, and take no learning from the evidence. Good luck with that. You may well need it.
If the reveling in the immediate wake of the WI SC ruling had continued, so would the resulting upward trend.
BTW I stopped spending time updating spreadsheets because the available data is so obviously incomplete as to be virtually meaningless except in comparison to itself, and is being manipulated for various reasons the most obvious and prevalent of which is to make Trump look good. That will stop if Trump is forced out of office because it will suddenly become more propitious for Republican Governors to show big numbers = big need for funding, and the downside risk of being tweeted against will be gone.
Just think of how rosy the data would look now if WI had been blessed with another Republican Governor!

The drops are virtually all on weekends, when there’s probably just a delay in reporting.
That's part of it but not all off it. It would look more regular if it was simply a weekend effect.
