Hello World! Before Economy Totally Disintegrates-Will Anyone Else Notice WHO Director Made Basic MATH ERROR in Causing Global Coronavirus Panic?
Gateway Pundit ^ | 3/18/20 | Jim Hoft

Before the US economy disintegrates into nothingness — Will any so-called expert out there also notice that the WHO Director caused a global coronavirus panic over a basic math error? * * * * * * * * * *

The controversial Ethiopian politician and Director General of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, claimed in a press conference in early March that the fatality rate for the coronavirus was many multiples that of the fatality rate of the common flu. This egregiously false premise has led to the greatest economic panic in world history.

Actually the error was made by Jim Hoft, not by the WHO.

The error is making us click on this useless blog.

I trust President Trump.

If the President of the United States ask me and my family to make sacrifices, we make those sacrifices. End of story.

Either you believe the President knows what he is doing or you don’t. If you don’t — go f**k yourself.

Trusting any politician that much is a mistake. This is especially ally true if they continue to trade in the lawlessness of FDR’s era rather than seek to depart from it.

Note to Jim Hoft: It isn’t the mortality rate that is so dangerous, it is the complete overwhelming of our medical system.

Get in a car accident and need to go to the ER? Sorry, it’s FULL.

Heart attack? Same.

I used to enjoy GP sometimes, not anymore.

We should all be terrified of the .000002% Wuhan flu death rate among the Chinese.

This same ridiculous GP article was posted yesterday. So I repeat:
“This article is misleading. The reason only 222k people were tested for the flu in the US is because the symptoms are almost always so mild that there is no reason to see a doctor or be tested. The estimate that 36mm people have the flu in an average year in the US seems reasonable. I had it 2 years ago. We’ve all had it. This situation is one where it is important to remember who is dealing with facts and who is full of s**t. The Gateway Pundit is an unreliable source, putting it mildly.”

Jim Holt's math, as such, makes sense, but this whole business shows how many, MANY ways there are to mis-handle statistics, even with the best of intentions.

Especially since the relevant numbers (e.g. testing) haven't been located or calculated yet.

I personally think that if it were such a high-school-sohomore-level error (same numerators, different or unknown denominators) many other people deeply into medical statistics would have caught it, essentially at a glance.

Just for example, I don't think the Israelis would take the drastic steps they have taken to control contagion, either because of a single dumb math error or out of stupid reliance of World Government "experts" nor a vindictive malice toward President Trump.

I figured this out weeks ago. Unfortunately, no one listened to me.

God is in control. And God’s plan is perfect.

God put Donald Trump in the position he is in according to His plan.

So, trusting the leader that has been placed in his position by God is not idiotic.

H1N1 had thousands of deaths and hundreds of thousands sick and it didn’t come close to overwhelming our health system.
The goalposts keep moving...

I wouldn't trust my life or fortune to the vague prospect that something might or could happen. I'd wait a bit, and see if the facts tend to bear it out.

God is always in control when the right people are in power. When the wrong people are in power, heaven knows who put them there and for what reason. I guess God and Satan go back-and-forth.

No one here should be making decisions based on information coming from the douche bags at WHO or in China.
