CBS News reports that 99% of the United States still has high COVID-19 transmission rates despite falling case numbers. The hosts criticize the mathematical impossibility of the "99%" figure regarding 50 states and mock the "up-talking" speech patterns of modern news anchors.
The CDC released a viral infection heat map using red and orange color-coding to denote substantial or high COVID-19 transmission across two-thirds of U.S. counties. Critics argue the map's metrics are contradictory because they combine actual case numbers with a county's ability to perform sufficient testing. This lack of transparency in the underlying data suggests the map may be used for political signaling rather than purely clinical guidance.
NASA New Horizons Pluto Data, Transmission Speed Skepticism
Calculations regarding the New Horizons mission to Pluto suggest that transmitting 64 gigabytes of data at the reported slow speeds would take nearly a decade, rather than the 16 months claimed by NASA. This discrepancy leads to skepticism about the mission's technical transparency and funding motives.
