And so; how much less corrupt is the new “democratic” govt of #SouthAfrica. Like;as far as I know, no major hospital has been built in 30yrs. Infr projects are ignored. There’s no mgmnt of anything needing mgmnt. Kids have dark ages pit toilets. And ATROCIOUS teachers/curriculums

Jails haven’t been built; or nowhere near what’s needed; that’s for sure❗️And illegal immigrants reign free in the untaxable underbelly they don’t care about. And it’s not coz they’re stupid. It’s a system to hide corruption in. And to keep voters where they were!
ie: Unable to think critically; without enough information/education. #ThoughtControl And we ALL, the victims of the other side of the SAME placeholder blame game racism card. Still. Like in #Apartheid. Actually.
And then it’s “Afrikaners” who are a problem. Well; Mandela wanted a new start for everyone; his message was the vision of a rainbow nation. 1995 was an euphoric year filled with hope❗️And then as soon as he was out the way, BEE etc started; and the campaign
to blame whites for the STATE NOT DOING ENOUGH. Like if you’re a whizz kid you’ll be hired. Duh. Who doesn’t LOVE a whiz kid. I was never able to resist them. Across the colour spectrum. Folks weren’t not hiring blacks because of racism. It was coz of the lack of
qualifications/know how etc. then Indians, *better education*, became targets of you’re no longer black, as they were starting businesses/getting the jobs. From humble beginnings too; but BETTER education. And now; 27yrs later; the white minority feel threatened constantly,
& *guilty* for their “ancestors” and young black kids are now “fighting the apartheid” they know not much of. Coz of propaganda. Just like the #apartheid police state. You can’t have this policy/that law/restrict this and that to mask that you actually get NOTHING WORTHWHILE DONE
Just jump in and do the bloody work to raise up your people ALREADY, #Tsotsis: and reconciliation/true Ubuntu will rise up with that❗️How can it not❓It’s all about OBLITERATING POVERTY & IGNORANCE. NOT TENDERPRENEURS “fake”BEE scams benefitting politicians wives’ shelf companies
and the mega corporates buying them a beer at the #SaxonwoldShebeen❗️Like; did you read about the city council who are understaffed but they can’t find ANY skills. Like; how ridiculous❗️ #EducationTrumpsItAll

Like; HELLO: why are you fighting #Apartheid when it ended 27yrs ago❓

Which metric is a better predictor of the severity of the fall surge in US states?

1) Margin of Democrat victory in Nov 2020 election
or
2) % infected through Sep 1, 2020

Can you guess which plot is which?


The left plot is based on the % infected through Sep 1, 2020. You can see that there is very little correlation with the % infected since Sep 1.

However, there is a *strong* correlation when using the margin of Biden's victory (right).

Infections % from
https://t.co/WcXlfxv3Ah.


This is the strongest single variable I've seen in being able to explain the severity of this most recent wave in each state.

Not past infections / existing immunity, population density, racial makeup, latitude / weather / humidity, etc.

But political lean.

One can argue that states that lean Democrat are more likely to implement restrictions/mandates.

This is valid, so we test this by using the Government Stringency Index made by @UniofOxford.

We also see a correlation, but it's weaker (R^2=0.36 vs 0.50).

To avoid look-ahead bias/confounding variables, here is the same analysis but using 2016 margin of victory as the predictor. Similar results.

This basically says that 2016 election results is a better predictor of the severity of the fall wave than intervention levels in 2020!
