    The self-own here is epic. Just redo his math and you’ll see what I mean and why I screenshot the Tweet, in case he deletes it...😂 https://twitter.com/SimsYStuart/status/1350255979162718209 …pic.twitter.com/r25ieMP4iy

        It gets even better when @crabb_vicki does the math correctly for him and more hilarity ensues. 😂😂😂pic.twitter.com/CyHGSbSYJ5

        And... he finally realizes his error. I’ll give him credit for being gracious about it. I won’t give him credit for continuing to be dismissive of the corrected death toll.https://twitter.com/SimsYStuart/status/1350264477678247937 …

        Ok, I just checked my own math. I was incorrect (that’s what I get for trying to cook dinner and play with my kids while doing calculations). 389,000/328 million is 118 out of every 100,000. Good catch. 😍

        It’s rather like a factor of 100 doesn’t matter to him because this isn’t about a rational consideration of death tolls.

        Besides his math being wrong, why do the denialists always insist on using the entire US population in the denominator rather than deaths/cases. May as well just do deaths/grains-of-sand if you're really going to water it down.

        Oh that’s classic. Right up there with the trump guy who proudly proclaimed they weren’t stupid and that trump is a genius, that’s what the j stands for.
