@Ben19662217@HarveyWall15@YesToEmpathy@ABDanielleSmith Thank you for admitting you are cherry picking data to suit your sample size bias. Whether you realize it or not, know that I appreciate the (inadvertent?) honesty.
I am deeply impressed with the fallacy on which you’ve built your position.
@Ben19662217@HarveyWall15@YesToEmpathy@ABDanielleSmith Using a single week historical piece of data during a multi year pandemic is not an appropriate predictor, as it ignores all other data in favour of a simplification.
@Ben19662217@HarveyWall15@YesToEmpathy@ABDanielleSmith “Its actually impossible to calculate it, but my graph shows the number I’m arguing about” do you read these before you hit tweet?
Also, even if you use CFR, which you shouldn’t, you’re still wrong.

@Ben19662217@HarveyWall15@YesToEmpathy@ABDanielleSmith I’m bored waiting for you to understand that statistics is not a single source data science, so instead here’s some actual stats. I don’t even have to do fantasy math to show we should still be taking COVID seriously

@Ben19662217@HarveyWall15@YesToEmpathy@ABDanielleSmith That’s not how that works, unless you somehow have the data to weigh the averages (you don’t, or at least haven’t shown it).
Also, still a weekly average, not an actual representation of overall, but a cool trending indicator.
Also also, where’s that country with 99.997%?
@Ben19662217@HarveyWall15@YesToEmpathy@ABDanielleSmith While that weekly data IS important, it’s not relevant to your point. Either you include all recorded COVID cases, or it’s not a survival rate - it’s an AVERAGED death rate.
You do understand how that’s different, right?
@Ben19662217@HarveyWall15@YesToEmpathy@ABDanielleSmith It sure is! Now your turn to prove you can read.
Does your chart say “weekly”?
Because in order for your “survival rate” claim to hold water, it must be cumulative - aka all available data.
Otherwise, you’re just cherry picking.
@Ben19662217@HarveyWall15@YesToEmpathy@ABDanielleSmith If I need more counselling, (note the spelling), then you need more education Mr “my numbers based on feelings are as a valid as real stats”
Can’t even interpret your own graphs, it’s very sad.
@Ben19662217@HarveyWall15@YesToEmpathy@ABDanielleSmith I haven’t made any inane claims over made up percentages. That was you, champ. We’ve just been asking you to back it up, to which you perpetually respond with nonsense “math”
Burden of proof, my man.
@BobCoutts7 @UCPCaucus No, that part is easy. It’s flashy, in your face, and, of course, geared towards people that love being told what they want to hear - facts be damned.
@FreeCDN_Citizen @Wayupnorth8@andrew_leach@ABDanielleSmith To try to egg Ottawa into a fight.
Smith knows this bill is hot garbage, but her base is easily duped by repeating the same line. So when it gets killed by the lt-gov, or the Supreme Court, then she gets to scream about fed interference.
And her base will reward her with votes
