this website is actual dogshit There's no point in posting anything unless you're in niche subreddits. Debating any point on anything just gets you banned. Twitter on the other hand has been great.

Oh ok. Well they're visible to me and do not break the rules. They basically mirror what has been said here minus the insults. I'm very familiar with how to post without breaking posted rules. I didn't and was banned anyways, obviously for undermining a certain narrative mods have on that sub, thus why I posted here.

Right, I literally didn't ad hominem the person in the original thread that you refuse to read for some reason. I explained myself in the most basic terms, as if speaking to a 10 year old. I'm obviously not hiding my contempt for the same person in this thread, because the person is legitimately obnoxious trash and there are no real consequences.

I didn't, and the rules are not even remotely applied fairly across reddit.

r/PoliticalHumor is a propaganda sub. Simple as.

Indeed, the survivability rate is extremely high in many ways.

>Why stop at the same number as documented cases? Because we don't know what those numbers are. We do know the documented numbers. Using those numbers I can easily arrive at 99% survival rate. You then going >BUT IT COULD BE 99.9% SURVIVABLE STOP SPREADING MISINFO could quite possibly be the dumbest backpedal ever on reddit.

> It might be 99.6%. How would it be 99.6% (a case fatality rate of .4%)? How? Oh because... >the true number of infections is **much larger** than just the documented cases So, I just stopped at *equal* to the number of documented cases. X + X = 2X 2*X=1.8 X = 1.8/2 X = 0.9 A case fatality rate of 0.9 is a 99% survivability rate. >the true number of infections is **much larger** than just the documented cases >the true number of infections is **much larger** than just the documented cases I readily admit it may not be 99% on the button, but I can easily claim *it's at least* 99% based on the information provided, which is what I did. >Me: If the true number of infections is much larger than the DOCUMENTED cases which already have a survival rate of 98.2%, then I'm going to have no problem saying 99% survival rate. If anything I was being conservative and favoring a worse survivability rate than the AP implies exists. cc u/sliplover

You're dumb as a fucking brick. >If the survivability rate of COVID is 98% according to the AP, and there are X number of documented cases, but also there are at least the same number of undocumented cases that were survived. What is the absolute minimum survivability rate? It doesn't matter what X is. 34.3 million. 43.4 million. 100 million. The answer is still 99%. You're too dumb to understand why. >What you say the article says and what the article actually says are two different things and that is misinformation I'm directly quoting the article. The articles says not to say any one persons chances are 99%. I'm not doing that. An 80 year old does not have a 99% survivability rate. I never claimed that, nor will I ever. >THE FACTS: As of July 23, there were more than 34.3 million known cases of COVID-19 in the United States and 610,370 deaths, according to data from Johns Hopkins University. That means the case fatality ratio -- or the portion of known cases that result in death in the country -- is 1.8%. In other words, on average, 98.2% of known COVID-19 patients in the U.S. survive. Because the true number of infections is much larger than just the documented cases, the actual survival rate of all COVID-19 infections is even higher than 98.2%. If the case fatality rate for COVID according to the AP is 1.8%, and there are X number of documented cases, but also AP says there are *at least* the same number of undocumented cases that were survived. What is the absolute maximum case fatality rate? Basic first semester algebra: 2*X=1.8 X = 1.8/2 X = 0.9 Answer. 0.9% case fatality rate. In other words, 99% survivability rate. I'm not misrepresenting anything, you're just a dunce.

There's no reason to ban someone over linking to the AP. Only some fringe political shithead would so that, and I guarantee they're not right wing on that sub. Don't be mad that your ideology has failed and you now require walled gardens to keep it going. LOL an ideology so bad it has to be kept alive by tenured pedophiles and students too dumb for STEM.
