We know what happens when groups of one hundred people who get confirmed covid. We lose 1.6 percent of them.(n=0.016)

That is a separate issue from the prevalence of the disease across the entire population. This includes people who will never get the disease,those who got the disease and never knew it, those who got the disease and recovered, and those who died from it. The overall fatality rate for the entire population is 0.0031=N or 0.031 percent. That is why I oppose the politicians who have distorted the facts and have turned our nation upside down over it. The Swedes had the right idea in how to handle it.

Now, what all that has to do with slamming me over global warming I have no idea. I oppose the politicians who are pushing that fake narrative as well. You can take your insinuations to the living God and ask him if you think you have accused me truthfully!

The amusing thing is that you place so much faith in statistics based on data that is basically garbage. There are incentives for doctors and hospitals to call every death a Covid death. Count the money... How do I know this from personal experience? My brother-in-law died very early in the “pandemic”. At that point in time tests were not available to confirm Covid except for celebrities, politicians, and health care workers. But just before he stopped breathing, he had a cough.

His is death was labeled “presumptive Covid” and he was counted in our state as a Covid death along with others who had been stabbed, shot, or had been in motorcycle crashes. His death was less of an overreach than most of those, but he did have an inoperable cancerous brain tumor and was in hospice care. The doctors and hospital got more money for calling his demise a Covid death instead of a death from brain cancer. They may have been slightly ahead of their time, but the same game has now been played over and over and over again.

Have you ever heard the term “garbage in, garbage out”? The reason I assumed that you are also a global warming believer is that the same errors in reasoning are present in your reasoning that we find in groups of global warming believers. And we know what happens when groups of one hundred people who react a certain way when exposed to propaganda are exposed to similar propaganda intended to manipulate them in another area. We lose 99.6 percent of them. (n=99.60)

Given this fact, I believe that our almighty God might cut me some slack if you are actually one of the .4 percent, N=0.04 percent who believe all the statistical garbage associated with Covid but not the same type of statistical garbage associated with "global warming".

I would point out also that the situation with Covid is dynamic. This means that it is changing all of the time and it varies greatly from one locale to the other. The fatality rate from the original CCP/Fauci gain of function form of Covid has little relationship to the fatality rate of the current prevalent strains.

You cannot apply a constant to a dynamic situation and expect it to have any accurate predictive value. You seem to be a reasonable, intelligent person, but you have a belief system that is being led astray by logical fallacies.
