“If you were to replace “Coronavirus” with “Ricin”, and inject 100 people with a dose which would kill 100% in a week, then every day double the number of people you give the injection, using the deaths/cases method, after one week you would have a fatality/injection ratio of 0.78% (100/12,700), for a 100% fatal toxin.”

Well, OK then. If the coronavirus had a 100% fatal death rate, we would be screwed. Got it..


So you have no idea what you read there? That *complete* failure pretty much tosses the rest of your analysis in the trash.

What it is an example of, is the commonly used bad methodology misrepresenting a 100% fatality rate as less than 1%.

Literacy, good. Obtuseness, bad.

Oh no, you compared COVID-19 to RICIN and a 100% death rate. You are funny man.
