Anecdotal illustrations are useless in a statistical discussion.
My brother is an actuary. His grim business is crunching numbers for pension plans on how long pensioners are likely to live.
Put 5000 people your age into an auditorium and ask him how many will be alive in ten years, and he can give you a really accurate prediction.
Ask him how long any one individual will live and he’s clueless.
Well, that’s nice. Here’s to your brother’s future success.
How many policies will he urge issued for people over 40 who turn out to be infected with the ChiCom Virus?
Ask him and let us know.
