I am totally confused by the reaction to #TheHuntMovie. Image
People on the right seems to be upset by the depiction of deplorables (see their pictures below) being hunted be the 'Elite'. Image
But the deplorables are winning! I thought that this movie depicts the way the #MAGA right sees itself: It is being persecuted by the Elite (in the movie they are being hunted like deer) and they need to fight back. As a kicker the movie villain is played by *Hilary* Swank. Image
This movie could have been complete trash or it could have been a smart commentary on the United States. It might even have been able to shed some light on the current #GunControl debate (if you perceive yourself as being hunted wouldn't you want to have guns).
I would have liked to see the movie.

Good thing there is #bettygilpin in #GLOW.

Again: Good news/bad news situation in the #US.

The good news: The slope of the curve representing total number of cases is decreasing (see the red circle).

#CoronavirusUSA Image
The bad news: the curve representing deaths still has the same slope. Image
Why does one curve show the effect of #SocialDistancing while the other one does not?

This is because there is a large time lag between infection and death.

The infections that will cause future deaths have already happened. Things will get worse before they will get better. Image

Why it is important to act *fast*:

I remember the first time I encountered exponential growths. It was in this question:

(spoilers ahead)

#coronavirus #covid19 #StayAtHome Image
The answer is day 49. The lillies will cover half the lake in the last day.

That is the defining characteristic of exponential growth. Everything happens now. Image
If one changes the y-axis to a logarithmic scale this is what one gets:

A straight line. Image

Did @realDonaldTrump take a picture of a *projected* picture and tweet it out? Image
The shadow in the lower right seems to be the shadow of the person taking the picture. To get a shadow like that on a letter sized picture is not possible because the size of the head itself sets a lower limit on the size of the shadow and a head is basically letter sized.
I think that @realDonaldTrump was receiving a Powerpoint like presentation in a dimmed room with one pointlike light source behind him (one pointlike light source because the edge of the shadow is narrow).
