[QUOTE="Crwth, post: 76037361, member: 347742"] Where do people keep coming up with this stuff - stuff that I've never said but they nevertheless assume I did? :scratch: Pfft. And I was the one accused of being paranoid. :doh: (but I do like the word "eschewed" :thumbsup:) First, let's take care of that little detail. I'll see if I can explain it... again. [URL='https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/']LINK (For those who doubt the numbers)[/URL] [ATTACH=full]301069[/ATTACH] Now, the population of the United States is ([URL='https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/us-population/']another LINK[/URL]): [ATTACH=full]301068[/ATTACH] Ok - next. You divide the number of Coronavirus Cases into the United States Population: 34,418,592 / 332,906,223 = 0.094, or, [B]9.4%[/B] Now, not to complicate things, I was using round numbers all the way around so I just rounded up to 10% for the sake of illustration (plus it looks like more for those who'd like it to be so), so let's just stick with that - 10%. Ok, so here's the crux move: [B]If 10% DID contract the disease... then how many did NOT contract the disease?[/B] :musicnotes: We'll let the readers do the math. You trust absolutely correctly. And it's fairly certain that if I drive my car 2 hours a day 5 days a week forever, it'd be only a matter of time before I'd get into a car wreck and die. And of course, if I drive it 8 hours a day 7 days a week, the odds increase I'd die even sooner. I get it. I'm sorry...what was your point again? :scratch: [/QUOTE]
