It’s not “rubbish” or “garbage numbers”, it’s MATH. More importantly, it’s THE # the WHO is using. I’m not making up the number.

Per https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ the # dead so far globally is 3,569. # confirmed infected is 105,956.

3,569 / 105,956 = 3.3673%, or ~3.4%.

It’s not helpful to claim things are “garbage numbers” when the independent, objective data says otherwise.

Math doesn’t require lying with statistics

You’re not making up the number, your misrepresenting what it means and grossly misapplying it to create wildly hallucinatory estimates

>”Per https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ the # dead so far globally is 3,569. # confirmed infected is 105,956.”

Right... Confirmed infected. Just simple math right?
Huge numbers of infected people are not counted as “confirmed cases”, rendering your death estimate as... garbage.

>”It’s not helpful to claim things are “garbage numbers” when the independent, objective data says otherwise.”

When you misapply statistics, it renders your conclusions garbage
