This is, of course, the dumbest antimask analogy out there. It betrays utter ignorance of virology and physics gussied up with a false sense of knowledge, so much so that I can feel neurons in my brain apoptosing whenever I see some ignoramus post this brain dead talking point.

Here, let me help. As of today, about 389,000 deaths from COVID are reported nationally. So let’s do the math. 389,000 / 328 million (US population) = 0.1% mortality rate. And that number is probably really high given flawed data collection on cause of death (comorbidity).

Now, do we agree upon 0.1% as the mortality rate by which we do a national threat assessment?

The numbers have changed, but the point still standshttps://mobile.twitter.com/TinFoilAwards/status/1310943647458828288 …

Even if you can justify the numbers (you can't) you can't justify the side effects of having covid. Depression (unrelated to the lockdowns) lung scarring, kidney damage, general internal organ damage and possibly more to come.

You know your math is wrong don’t you?

Why stop there with calculating yourself happy? How about this: if we find a billion aliens on the moon then the overall mortality rate will be even less!

Sure, it would be more reassuring if the national mortality rate was a bit higher in order to justify your neuroticism on this subject of masks, but sometimes the math doesn’t care about our feelings.

If the entire population of the U.S. had been infected then yes, but that's not the case is it? Why would you post something like this that's obviously incorrect?

There are 2 reasons. One is dishonesty.
