am, as I said, a Ph.D.
Where do you think MDs get their information? It is from people like me, who understand the basic science. It is painfully obvious that Ron Paul may be a physician, but he has no expertise in anything related to epidemiology.
And, are you incapable of doing math? I linked to the tracking website where case data is compiled, you can access and calculate the numbers for yourself and you don’t believe me that the death rate is approaching 4%? Seriously? Pop out a calculator and do your own calculations! You do know how to calculate percentages, don’t you?
...
I know many phds who do not live in reality and quite frankly becomes booksmart idiots. I hope through this whole thing you are proven wrong and your 4% number is not based on reality because your premise is simply incorrect. Without having correct testing which is not President Trump’s Fault by the way it was eight years of the previous regime and President Bush before him to blame. Things are not happening the way that the Democrats and the ever so esteemed Dr Fauci, who by the way was awarded a medal by Obama and President Bush, have proclaimed. I only hope the President Trump uses this whole thing to expose the frauds at these people are. And by the way you have not brought up that the virus was purposely released and anybody who does not believe that at this point is quite frankly an idiot. I look forward to you starting a thread in the future after you have been proven wrong. That would be the apology tour.
Oh wait, doctor Ron Paul has no credibility in epidemiology? Really? He was a congress man for christ sake. Damn good one too. “Dr. No”, they called him. Voices of wisdom when mitt Romney was running for president. They tanked him like Bernie. Yes I said they.
I work with some PHDs that are, simply put, dolts! They are so convinced they are right all the time about everything (the PHD gives them a penchant for confirmation bias).
That said, there are some that are amazing.
I’d like to see raw data and an intelligent discussion of the stats that includes topics of uncertainty (confidence interval), testing rate, potential for false positives and false negatives when testing, skewness, kurtosis, sample size, population from which the sample is taken, etc...
Right now the stats on this are just simple numbers based on oversimplified principles and this is much more complex than simple division.
