Yes Paul, I’m apparently too cognitively deficient to understand basic statistics. You guys are funny. Let me help you out here. Here’s the math. Ready? 389,000/328 million is the mortality rate. That is 1 out of every 100,000 (as epidemiologists like to phrase it).

Your calculation is incorrect (389,000/328,000,000)*100,000 = ~120 deaths per 100,000. This estimate is likely low due to lag time in reporting. /1

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.

I make errors too. Mortality is not the only outcome of interest. It's generally the easiest to measure.

But 118 out of every 100,000 still equals 0.1% mortality rate. Respectfully, please explain to me how this justifies mass hysteria and mandatory mask mandates for young healthy people?

All murders are 5.8 per 100,00 Dude suicide is 14 per 100,000 is suicide a problem? All strokes are 37 per 100,000 All accidents that kill are 48 per 100,000 COVID-19 killed more than all four combined already and the rate **way** more recently.

Do you think we should have any public policies to improve the rates of mortality for: * Homicide * Suicide * Stroke * Accidents ??

As well, last week, an average of 3300 people died daily of COVID-19. That's more than died of the top ten causes of death combined in the past week. Your perspective on the numbers is way. Way. Way. Way. Off
