      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.

          Especially when somebody calculated recently that for every death there are 99 people with long-term sequelae, 2 of whom are unable to return to work.

          Thank you, and thanks to @crabb_vicki, you are the real heroes. Keep holding up that candle! I would feel utterly alone in this world if it wasn't for people like you.

          The way he tries to dismiss it by blaming it on him being a responsible, caring, busy parent instead, combined with the overall shitty tone of the entire conversation in his part, and misplaced use of emoji is just... wow.

          His aggressive ignorance is infuriating. That smug "check your math" made me want to punch my phone.

          And the “let me help you”. And the blaming his kids. Lots of punch worthy bits here. 🥊

          He was gracious about it, but dismissive. It's not about the mortality rate. It's not about COVID being the 3rd leading cause of death. It's not that these deaths/illnesses surging the healthcare system. It's not about the economic consequences of an unfettered pandemic.
