IKR? That argument doesn’t work in the way that Stuart thinks it does...

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.

Props for checking your math and for admitting it. That's rare in life and maybe even more rare on twitter. Will you now re-examine your conclusions based on that math? Math is easy to check. Changing your opinion is a lot harder. It's rare in life and even more rare on Twitter.

No. The error wasn’t relevant to my point. I just tried to do too many things at once last night and miskeyed a number. The mortality statistic remains 0.1%. But the response to a simple math error by this bunch is far more interesting to me. Like 3rd grade bullies. Funny

The response was based on your dismissive lecturing to “check your math” when corrected and your arrogance acting as though you know more than physicians and epidemiologists. THAT’S why your self-own as a result of your math error was so hilarious.

You sure read slot of subtext into tweets Doc. Says much more about you than it does me. When I typed,”check your math”, I was cooking my dinner over a outdoor fire pit and playing with my kids. My request for her to “check your math” was sincere and said with good intentions.
