As long as the credits transfer it only really matters where you finish

thats true. i know some schools have specific rules about being a full-time enrollee and having caps on out-of-school credits per semester

The main issue I have with this "cases are spiking outside New York" narrative, other than that its blatantly wrong, is people pretending our curve is so much different from every other country or that other countries aren't seeing similar different results in different cities or provinces 

Of course its not going to be a universal downward trend in absolutely every state, but the vast majority of states seem to be on the downside of the outbreak, which is good news and should be reported as such

The MoL and rams have a high degree of mutual respect, even if rams has gone further down the path of knowledge while the MoL has embraced the higher form of knowledge called smugness 

I believe that higher form is more commonly referred to as cocaine.

5/6/2020 MoL Scores:

Methodology and disclaimer: MoL score is a simple metric for measuring rate of spread of the novel coronavirus within communities.  The metric was developed by mission and TLO and has not been subjected to academic peer review.  The MoL looks at a trailing average of daily new cases and compares this to trailing active cases within the community.  These rankings do not represent the opinion of anyone other than mission and TLO and should not be taken as advice of any kind.  Please note while the numbers themselves are objective calculations, smugness and Taylor Swift lyrics may factor into our commentary and decisions on tiers.  The MoL reserves the right to make changes to this methodology at any time.  Please follow all relevant governmental and/or WHO/CDC guidance.  We will defeat this virus.

"We need love, but all we want is danger

We team up, then switch sides like a record changer

The rumors are terrible and cruel

But honey, most of them are true"

- Taylor Swift

Today the US takes another big drop while a few European countries clean up some reporting issues.

Tier 1: Outbreak under control, safe to begin relaxing social distancing measures

giphy.gif

Tier 1 countries are pretty,... pretty... pretty good

How to safely open up in Tier 1? Take a look at the MoL method for proper easing, otherwise known as the MoL public health cost benefit matrix.

Hong Kong: 0.0 (BACK TO A PERFECT SCORE!  No cases in the past 5 days)

China: 0.3 (all-time low and China back into the top-2 for the first time in a long time... tbh they might argue, they've got a lock on the top-2)

South Korea: 0.4

Israel: 0.5 (wow)

Netherlands: 0.9

Portugal: 1.1

Czech Republic: 1.1

Belgium: 1.2

Italy: 1.3 (yet another all-time low, great job)

Switzerland: 1.3

Austria: 1.4

France: 1.5

Australia: 2.1 (poor Shady)

Japan: 2.1

Germany: 2.3

Spain: 2.6 (new all-time low!)

Turkey: 2.6 

Sweden: 2.9 

Tier 2: New case growth is minimal suggesting social distancing is working, likely a few weeks away from breaking into tier 1

Tier 2 countries aren't  doing as well as Tier 1 countries, but eh, we'll give 'em a pass, why not!  Especially since Larry doesn't want to get fatwahed again.

USA: 3.1 (ALL TIME LOW AGAIN!  I think we are a bit off from Tier 1, but not that far, believe me)

UK: 3.5 

Ireland: 3.7

Philippines: 3.8

Global: 3.9 (slight up-tick driven by some reverses in Europe)

Singapore: 4.5 (#seasonality for #singapore makes MoL smug af)

Denmark: 5.6

Canada: 6.1 (would be around a 5 if not for the Quebec reporting mishap, should be at or below that level in a few days)

Iran: 8.4* (karmas a *****)

Tier 3: Countries in this group that are showing increased MoLs have the potential to go deep into the danger zones, but countries with falling MoLs may only be a couple of days from tier 2 status and may have already peaked in gross # of new cases

giphy.gif

These countries could really do a lot better if they followed common decency standards, like washing their hands or respecting wood 

Russia: 12.3 (good call by the MoL to leave Russia in this tier, tbhwy)

India: 13.9

Brazil: 19.2

Tier 4: Aggressive growth, still likely have not peaked in single day cases, and likely a week or two minimum from peak in deaths (however many of these countries are still slowing down)

source.gif

We feel very bad for the last Tier 4 country remaining on our list, the Mexico.  Its like that time Funkhauser became an orphan at 60 (RIP Funkhauser).

Mexico: 27.8 (maybe the land of Joan was trying to get as high as they could for Cindo de M and now they're headed back down tbh)

USA State Level MoLs

Now that the recent bump in testing has started to plateau, these state numbers are looking pretty damn good across the board except for Minnesota.  Again, based on state numbers, we'd already be tier 1.

MoL Deaths

US deaths ticked up today driven by New York reporting a few hundred suspect cases that had no previously been in their numbers.  Excluding this, the death average would've hit an all-time low, and we are still a solid 15% below the peak on April 24th.

The MoL would like to thank everyone for their contributions to this important work including @ET80 @acowboys62 @dtait93 @Dome @naptownskinsfan @kingseanjohn @Malfatron @Shady Slim @malagabears @daboyle250 @vikesfan89 @ramssuperbowl99 @sdrawkcab321 @Nazgul @kingseanjohn @mistakey @TwoUpTwoDown @Xenos @Nex_Gen @FinneasGage @TVScout @seriously27 @N4L and the others who love us so much

We'd even like to thank @pwny @Glen and others for their critical attitude because of the attention it brings to the great work MoL is doing 

@TLO

The message of this gif is that the MoL is signing out until tomorrow (although we reserve the right to **** on anyone who questions our authority on these matters)

Trailing 7 day new cases are at their lowest level now since April 4th 

On April 4th we were testing 119k per day and about 20% were coming back positive

Today, we are testing 245k per day and about 10% are coming back positive 

So we've double our testing and are finding lower numbers of cases than a month ago.  That is progress.  I know a lot of the drop is in New York, but most of the testing gains are outside of New York, and cases are still flat or down overall outside New York over the past week or two.

Maryland's governor is opening things up tomorrow as it pertains to outdoor activities, with stage one set to begin soon.  The interesting one is public schools not being open again until Stage 3, which is January 1st 2021.

They're talking about something similar in Ohio, which makes no sense to me.  How do you expect people to go back to work, without the schools opening?

We’re going to put the kids to work too.
