You're going to have to dumb it down a lot more than that for kidpoo to understand it...Heh. Even ask most people in science or research medicine "what does a p value of less than 0.05 actually mean?" and you'll get technically incorrect responses a ton.
I realize you're not actually asking but instead venting, but my take on it would be that p = 0.05 implies that the results observed could be expected to be seen even if the null hypothesis is true 1/20 times, and via historical accident we've all decided that's an acceptable risk of saying some non-null hypothesis is true even if it's actually not.
Clear as mud, no?

Is it the Time Cube model?!White House officials have been relying on other models to make decisions on reopening, including the IHME model and a “cubic model” prepared by the Council of Economic Advisers, led by Trump adviser Kevin Hassett.
People with knowledge of the “cubic model” say it currently shows deaths dropping precipitously in May — and essentially going to zero by May 15.
Seems a lot more like they are ignoring all modelsWhite House officials have been relying on other models to make decisions on reopening
well, not ALL if you remember.......Seems a lot more like they are ignoring all models
I don't know about you, but I 100% believe that a model developed by a council of economic advisors, none of whom went to medical school or have any formal training, and which contradicts every single other model available, is a totally accurate forecast of the trajectory this disease will take.
If you tell a lie enough times you can believe it yourself, and then deny ever saying it when emphatically proven wrong.Reality is just what you want to believe is true, right?
Maybe the colors should be flipped.Reality is just what you want to believe is true, right?

So bets that the second wave during the fall of 2020 is substantially larger than the current one?
I don't think we're going to have to wait until the fall...So bets that the second wave during the fall of 2020 is substantially larger than the current one?

That kid has been told by his mother that he is a super genius since he was a toddler. He gets good grades but seems like a regular dipshit teenager to me. What is true is the fact that he believes he is a super genius and is smarter than everyone else. Eventually life is going to smack him around real good. He applied to Stanford, Harvard and even Cambridge thinking he was a shoe in for a full ride. He might be starting to get the point as he has been rejected by all of them but I am sure he just assumes the admissions people are just too stupid to select him.
I've already had people ask. It's easy money, but personally just don't want to jump on that Covid fidget spinner train.Has @kazlx kazhed in on the craze of small companies cranking out specialty door opening devices that can punch your pin on a touch screen? I’ve seen one with a bottle opener on it. Genius. Touch all the dirty things with this device, then use it to crack a beer. I mean studies show copper can make the virus non infectious after 4 hours, so what could go wrong?
Since covfefe is a phenomenon that didn't exist until this year, like covid discovered in 2019, this will be covfefe 2020.This rushed reopening is the stupidest thing I could ever imagine.
Covfefe19.
And because I just copyrighted that term to start selling death shrouds in september/october
You’re a monster.World-wide reported deaths around a quarter million, 0.03% of the number of us busy fucking up the planet.
