Dude, the R naught of this fakedemic in the early daze, as in feb before last, was sold as being 3.3. It never actually approached this. Ever.
You do love to play lying games.
That 3.3 figure was an estimate given based on chinese data and being fudged with mitigation built in to prevent a scare never was any research to confirm the estimate, the figure was used to make people less afraid because videos from china made people think the R0 was close to measles.
If media talked R0 today people would get a sense of direction and bolsheviks don't want that.
Go do the math again and show me your work, pick an example state other than your own if you must, you know I'm right on the math and besides that R0 of 5 was an estimate I was using for educational purposes mostly because it works easily with base 20% and fractions to understand how to slip below an R0 of 1 that 10% mitigation difference for R0 under 1 between 5 and 3.4 is really easy to understand for laymen who get basic math like percentages wrong.
One tenth of one percent of the population of the USA is 329,000. An honest assessment, one that factored in the fact that some state governments forced positive cases into nursing homes, such as the 20 year old black “boxer” who filmed himself beating and bloodying an old white man, and an honest assessment also admits that a huge amount of deaths attributed to your favorite disease had already exceeded life expectancy, a rational layman who can see the forest that the expert can’t see for the trees will logically conclude that the disease, a disease with a running death count (not seasonal as with influenza) is a hoax.
So you've double checked your math and are embarrassed now huh?
Irrelevant pilpul to distract from the fact your opinion is based on an elementary school level math error.
