        Isn't his math wrong though? .03 of 3.3m is 99k deaths.

        Replying to @StefanTurk @gorskon

        No, it should be 0.003 × 3.3 million = 9,999 deaths. 0.003 = 0.3% (I have no idea where he got the 0.3% or the 1% from)

        Not sure where that 1% came from. It's not like the disease is just going to vanish after infecting 3.3 million people.

        David, is anyone credible commenting on this "mild strain, severe strain" stuff? Hard to tell if interpretations are good. https://nypost.com/2020/04/21/coronavirus-has-mutated-into-at-least-30-different-strains-study/ …

        This was essentially the plan, don’t test and we would never know, except to many us died too fast.

        I'm not a statistician, but 10K is far, far closer to our observed number than the models being presented to our politicians at the time.
