I liked the guy in the X-Files that told Moulder that. Deep Throat?

EDIT: Just thinking. After Decades of Drinking Tropicana and Simply Orange OJ, I find out that whole Marketing BS to have mislead me. Can't blame the Chinese for that one.

The announcement comes as scientists in China say the pangolin, a type of scaly anteater, could be a possible host for the coronavirus that has killed over 636 people and infected nearly 31,400 globally, according to a report by Reuters on Friday.

Reuters reported the genome sequence of the coronavirus strain taken from pangolins in the study was 99 percent identical to infected people, according to China痴 official Xinhua news agency.

Mammals like the pangolin are commonly found in Chinese markets similar to the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market -- where 41 of the first cases reportedly originated.

He took the percentage of deaths of the flu and subtracted that from the percentage of deaths for the coronavirus.

95/100k = .00095, or .095%
300/100k = .003, or .3%

.3 - .095 = .205 ~ .2% difference.

Of course, that is completely incorrect in what he was trying to state, just showing how he calculated it.

In reality, a person is 316% more likely to die from coronavirus than the USA flu: .3/.095.

I'm a math nerd...

Yes but this is also misleading. 300% sounds terrible until you realize it is the difference between 0.1% and 0.3%.

How many people live in China? If 0.1% get infected, it's a massive amount of people. If you triple that amount with 0.3%, it's an overwhelming problem that might be beyond their ability to control it. What if it's actually higher then what they are telling us?

Labels and stickers don't mean much as I try to get a good product. Some are fooled by the lipstick on the pig.

Poor John McCain sure was!

No matter how much truth in them, some people would just rip them up.
