FlyinHeadlock 459 Posted July 30, 2020 Today the news is screaming this stat over and over. Luckily for me, I took stats in college and know how to solve it. Deport 2 illegal aliens with covid every minute. That's not going to happen obviously so, plan B is make stats not so scary for dummies. 4 million are born in the USA a year. This does not include the millions of immigrants legal and illegal. The virus in not the Bubonic Plague that killed 25 million. The one death a min stat is to scare the living crap out of feeble minded people. Even if the stat was accurate (totally false) we still have a net gain of 3 million plus and counting. But, if they really want to play with stats by the min, a person is shot every 2 hrs and 13 mins in Chicago..meh. That one actually does scare the crap out of me.

tanatastic 2,061 Posted July 30, 2020 You can always report a stat in such a way that makes it look more drastic. “Enough people die from the flu every year to fill a football stadium!“ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
