I typed it wrong.

0.1 x 10,000,000 = 1,000,000 dead.

Don’t get why so many here hate facts.

Is that 0.1 percent? In that case it’s...

0.001 x 10,000,000 = 10,000

I obviously don’t hate facts — I pointed out an error in your hypothetical. It was a typo; I don’t have an issue with that.

That said, it is still incorrect, because the multiplicand should be 0.1 percent, not 0.1. Ten million times 0.1 percent is 10,000, not 1 million — now off by two orders of magnitude.
