Math doesn’t require lying with statistics

>”More importantly, it’s THE # the WHO is using. I’m not making up the number.”

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

So why does the WHO (not me) believe the CFR is 3.4% then?

BTW, we’re apparently going to have to agree to disagree on this. Neither of us are going to change the other’s mind.
