Thanks for all of your work on this so called “PANDEMIC.” another way of saying thanks for the number-crunchers, like you. Many of us are challenged in that area. But I have a question for you, Dis. With the data compiled, and the information we have about the actual infection rate, and the death rate, is there a way to crunch the numbers so that we can know what the actual number of cases is? If we know the death rate is .001 ( as an example), can we show that only 10,000 people are infected?

I ask because I think we all know (suspect) that we’re being lied to by CDC and others. Inquiring minds want to know.

I think after this is over, historians of the epidemic will try and sort out the truth, especially about deaths.

It is always possible to take assumptions and work backwards as you suggested ... sort of reverse-engineer what the "Real" numbers must have been; but, personally, I think there is too much garbage in all the "Independent" variables to do this meaningfully at this time.

A perfect example of creating HAVOC with bad modeling practices would be the entire Global Warming HOAX. Yikes! That one should give all modelers a bad name.

Anyway, I just don't think we can start with bad data on cases, mix it with bad data on deaths, and somehow coax some good data out of the resulting witches brew.

Copying our visiting statistician, Doodlebob, to see if he would care to take a swing at it.
