Jurassic Park
Schindler's List
The Lost World
Amistad
Saving Private Ryan
AI: Artificial Intelligence
Minority Report

2/
The Adventures of Tintin
War Horse
Lincoln
Bridge of Spies
The BFG
The Post
Ready Player One
West Side Story

My choice: Either Raiders or Jurassic Park; both are quintessential Spielberg.
3/3
To be honest, I had completely forgotten about War Horse.

War of the Worlds is kind of strange because it was a huge blockbuster action/sci-fi film starring Tom Cruise which did massive box office business...and yet everyone seemed to forget about it almost immediately.

📣 I guess Donald Trump finally got wind of these graphs.

WEEKLY UPDATE: County-level #COVID19 case/death rates by partisan lean & vaccination rate:

Meanwhile, here's the latest on the vaccination front: acasignups.net/21/12/20/weekl…

⚠️ STATS GEEKS: A month ago I noted that the R^2 had leveled off for the past couple of months & said it'd be interesting to see what happened after Thanksgiving, when the first batch of 5-11 yr olds started getting their 2nd doses.

Sure enough, look what's happened since then: Image

Seeing how I’ve been tracking it all along including the first wave, that’s fine.
Here’s my weekly update from June *2020*, when COVID deaths were still far higher in the blue counties. Not sure why @LeePrevost thinks I won’t continue doing so going forward regardless of how things play out during the Omicron wave.

Unvaxxed base doesn’t believe they’re dying at a far higher rate.

AGAIN: GOP leadership *knows* they are but *doesn’t care* as long as the total death toll keeps Biden’s approval down.

GOP heads know they can afford the cannon fodder in deep red districts and still win.
In TX-13, Ronny Jackson (himself supposedly a doctor) won nearly 80% of the vote last year.

Redistricting notwithstanding, 50,000 GOP voters in his district could die and he’d still easily win re-election next year.
It MIGHT make a difference in a handful of swing districts, but not likely. It could also have some impact at the state level for Senate/Governor in a few states I suppose.

Oof.

When I run my weekly county-level vaxx rate updates, I use CDC data for most states but *state* health dept. data for about a dozen of them (which of course takes longer).

Sounds like I might have to move to state health dept. data for...more states.
It occurs to me that part of the problem may be some people LYING about not having been vaccinated at all in order to get their booster shot before they were eligible (remember, there were a couple of months when you had to be 65+ or 50+ in order to be eligible).
So some people < 65 or < 50 who already had 2 shots might have claimed that this would be their 1st shot instead of their 3rd in order to get it.

Result: It gets counted as a 1st shot instead of a 3rd.

📣📣 THREAD: Last week I posted the *county-level* COVID vaccination rates of all 50 states by partisan lean.

TODAY, I'm posting the county-level COVID *death rates* of all 50 states by partisan lean.

Note: These don't include a small # whose county of residence is unknown. 1/
--I'm posting the vaxx graphs side by side with the death rate graphs for easy comparison.

--Death rates for all counties are since 6/30/21, since a) that's roughly when the Delta wave started in the U.S. and b) every American 12+ had ample ability to get vaxxed by that point.
ALABAMA: Not much of a pattern in death rates...but also not much of one in vaxx rates (basically, vaxx rates are low across the board):
