Sorry, but your math is off. 7,180/635,000=0.011=1.1%

I read the article. The idiocy on display with the following final statement reinforces that it's from last year and, even though the fundamental argument is correct, discredits the totality of the piece and its author with said idiocy:

"But remember, whatever that true rate is, the total deaths will be lower if we can keep more people from being infected."

I know. Thanks, Dad! :)

Still. WHY have I been locked up for a YEAR when this ‘flu’ has a 98.9% survival rate?

Use your mathematical powers to ‘splain THAT to me, could ya? ;)

LIBERATE WISCONSIN! LIBERATE AMERICA!
