Oh, I see what you are doing now, and that is not the proper way to calculate a death rate.

For example: 10 out of 977 would be annualized at 0.028 per 1000. (The United States’s annualized death rate is 8 per 1000.)

Regardless, there is a simple way to test if you actually believe the fear mongering that you are peddling.

Let’s agree on a specific date. How about July 1, 2020? If this hasn’t boiled out of control by then, then would you agree never to post on the forum again? For the control, let’s use the Spanish Flu. Thesis: “If the Corona Virus is not as bad as the Spanish Flu, would you agree to leave?”

Are you willing to take that bet? I am willing to bet that none of those peddling the doom would take that bet. You won’t do it either. Why?

Because you don’t believe what you are selling.
