Star Commenter - Sep 2025
Why do you think you're right?
As of 23 Sept, the CDC lists 1,514 confirmed cases. https://www.cdc.gov/measles/data-research/index.html
Why might you be wrong?
The CDC is increasingly hard to trust due to its current leadership so it is possible statistics could be revised downward. It is also possible that updated statistics will include more than expected confirmed cases. (https://www.theatlantic.com/health/2025/09/cdc-alternative-health-advice/684245/)
Why do you think you're right?
As of 29 Sept, the number of cases was at 71 so it seems likely that there will be between 70 and 79 cases (https://euvsdisinfo.eu/disinformation-cases/?disinfo_language[]=German&date=01.10.2024%20-%2029.09.2025).
Why might you be wrong?
If you remove any particular types of cases (e.g., for being anti-Kremlin), the number of cases could go down. Or if Russia decides to ramp up its info campaigns there could be more cases than anticipated.
Why do you think you're right?
Even late into Sept, this is a tricky forecast because there are major storms forming off the east coast of the US so it seems likely that a hurricane of some strength will hit the continental US soon. However, so far, major storms have been less prevalent than in previous years, and have not made landfall in the continental US at a strength of 3 or more. (https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/hurricane-humberto-grows-category-5-bring-life-threatening-surf-east-c-rcna234132; https://usafacts.org/answers/how-active-is-the-latest-hurricane-season/country/united-states/)
Why might you be wrong?
At least two major hurricanes are occurring now and they are close to the US so it's possible landfall will be possible by 30 Sept (https://www.cnn.com/2025/09/29/weather/hurricane-forecast-imelda-humberto-track-climate-hnk)
Why do you think you're right?
While all three face precarious economic circumstances, the countries have not defaulted yet. Trump has also offered to support the Argentinian government in the near-term (https://www.politico.com/news/2025/09/25/trump-argentina-milei-bessent-republicans-bailout-00581449).
Why might you be wrong?
All three countries face dire economic situations. (e.g., https://www.state.gov/reports/2025-investment-climate-statements/bolivia; https://www.ainvest.com/news/assessing-impact-political-instability-ecuador-debt-market-2509/)
Why do you think you're right?
It's possible perceived threat will be higher than previously expected due to Russia sending drones over NATO countries, thereby increasing the perceived threat to NATO countries. (https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c75qeqr5905o)
Why might you be wrong?
Public opinion could remain relatively unchanged due to either assumptions that Russia is only focused on Ukraine and relatively weak (e.g., https://www.cnn.com/2025/09/25/world/russia-export-fuel-ban-ukranian-drones-intl)
Why do you think you're right?
At this time, this number of casualties has not occurred.
Why might you be wrong?
Last minute confrontation could occur however that seems unlikely.
