Incorrect. You read the tables wrong. 82 years??? Either way, it is bizarre to think you are going to die of COVID when it mostly kills 80+ year olds. I'm done arguing anyway. You guys win. It doesn't matter what either one of us think because the countries are opening up. You can't hide from viruses forever.

Perhaps you didn't understand what I said (it doesn't seem like you can even write a complete sentence). You can do any math you want, but if your numerator is unknown your result is unknown. No one has any idea how many people have contracted COVID. No one. Even the CDC. They admit it. I hate to break it to you, but the number of Americans who have had COVID is way over 8 million as reported by your website (according to the CDC). worldometers is just a website. I hope you guys realize that. Just a guy who puts in numbers based on the best information he can get. It doesn't mean it is accurate.

People die because Jesus wants them to come to heaven with Him so they can party. He just really happens to like 80 year olds. They party the best. Or something. Either way we are all going to die of COVID because people attended Trump rallies without a mask. Including you Europeans. Somehow.

I am basing it off the CDC numbers. In June they thought that 10x more Americans had it than was reported (20 million). Read the link. This was from JUNE. This is not my numbers. If you guys want to ignore the CDC that is your problem. If the rate is 10x more than reported it would currently be 180 million. Either way, it certainly isn't 8 million which is the official number.

Incorrect. We have no idea how many people "get it". Therefore your numerator is unknown and your division doesn't get a result. Even the CDC said they thought 10x more people contracted it than was reported. I mean, do you guys really think that 2-3% of people die of COVID? Really? The CDC literally said in June that 20 million Americans probably already contracted COVID. Why do you guys not follow the science?

I'm sure masks do help, but people think they are magic. People stop social distancing when they wear them. In a restaurant you have to wear one when you stand up, but at the table you can take it off. Totally insane, but no one wants to admit you can't hide from a virus forever. It is just theater. And yes, I wear a mask so don't bitch at me about Trump or whatever.
