"However I will admit to getting a decimal place wrong in my last post."

Which is the same as mixing up CFR and IFR. Nice try but you screwed up again due to an imperfect understanding on an issue you pontificate on.

"Well that's a riot because you were totally toweled over that discussion."

Well here's the post where I pointed out your error...

And here's the post where I reinforced the point as you tried to muddy the waters and hide the error - yet another error. Thereafter you skedaddled.....

And here's the post where I noted you'd returned after your sabbatical and forecast that you'd try to pretend the error never happened in the hope that we'd all forget the truth. The more things change indeed.

Dear mhaze,

Did you even read those posts?

This was the quote from WHO: “Globally, about 3.4% of reported COVID-19 cases have died.”

You clambered: “WHO was giving a fatality rate of 3.4%. It was this number, which is now shown to be completely wrong,”

So there is absolutely nothing to suggest I confused a single thing. You were the one claiming WHO meant one thing when they said something entirely different and then you banged on about dramatically decreasing fatality projections. It went something like this:

“Virtually every day brings new reductions in projections of the severity of the virus..."By Wednesday, the projection dropped the estimated total deaths to 60,415, revised down from 81,766 deaths, which was revised from down 93,531, a revised number itself.”
...
“So just like a normal flu season.”

The US toll is fast approaching 600,000 deaths. Every number you put up as a projection has been blown out of the water.

How on earth do you continue to stuff this up so thoroughly?

You know all in all we haven't done too badly;
Some states have obviously fared better than others
- Mistakes have been made.

Let's take a step back and think about things though.
Have a look at our leaders, Dan, Gladys, Anna, Scomo

What if we just had them run a regular backyard barbeque
And it was their job to take care of things

Dan on the BBQ, you think he wouldn't burn the snags, half cook the rissoles n burn crap out of the onions or something?
How about Gladys in the kitchen trying to prepare salads and nibblies,
- She'd probably need Anna's help to stay on top of it, she'd be frazzled;

And Scomo would probably be wandering around not even sure what he was supposed to be doing.

He'd probably need others to tell him what to do next -
"Scomo, why don't you set up some tables and chairs?"
"Umm... Okay, glad to help"

Yes mistakes have been made, and mistakes continue to be made.
- But things could be a whole lot worse.

We haven't done too badly, all things considered.
- Or maybe that's just the way I see it from up here in QLD

OK SR tell yourself whatever you need to convince yourself that you didn't mightily misunderstand the issue. But we both know that a year ago you got the numbers wrong by 1000% because you didn't understand the difference between CFR and IFR. Got them so wrong that even you, a past-master at hiding or obfuscating errors (due to practice), couldn't hide the error and instead just slunk away for a few weeks.

Then, just this week, showing you've learned nothing, made the exact same error again.

You know it...I know it. And its this lack of understanding about these fundamental issues that means you can't really follow the rest of the topic.
