      Thank you, I am aware of how PTS may present - what does that have to do with slowing infectious disease?

      What do you assess as the mortality rate in the USA for Covid in 2020? More or less than 1%? Data collection was initially a big mess (resulting in mass hysteria), but some of these statistics have since been updated (state by state).

      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?

      Do you agree that 400,000 people dead from a contagious disease is a really bad thing?

      Replying to @TinFoilAwards @1EEX303 and

      That’s how you do a threat assessment? Is it a “bad thing”? A 0.1% mortality rate doesn’t justify a mask mandate.

      Nice hypocrisy you got there. You did your threat assessment by saying "hmm, 0.1% kinda looks small." 400,000 people dead and counting absolutely justifies a mask mandate, you monster. Your mathematical gymnastics does nothing to change that.

      Secondly, that 0.1% rate is with mitigation. Had it not been for those who, unlike you, act responsibly, that number would have been several times what it is. We would easily have more than a million dead by now.

      Oddly enough, he hasn't blocked me yet. I am, however, getting bored with his schtick. It doesn't change, nor does it even evolve.

          You still haven’t answered the question Doc. It’s not a trick question.
