Which is why they're using statistics, not science, - glue MU - 12/16 16:34:33

They're not removing weeks from their calculations - paleojas MU - 12/16 15:19:05

Another way to say "total deaths due to COVID" is - paleojas MU - 12/16 15:33:27

The time period isn't a week. - TigerMatt STL - 12/16 17:27:02

but they are totaling only certain weeks. - tigerinhogtown STL - 12/16 15:37:25

You should keep getting fired up about it - Sal MU

- 12/16 16:03:50

you can't take weekly data and extrapolate it over 10 months - tigerinhogtown STL - 12/16 15:42:05

You really don't understand what you've been reading... - paleojas MU - 12/16 15:43:14

Or.. say I have a cell phone bill. 2019 it was $200/month - TigerMatt STL - 12/16 16:37:29

Here let me try to explain ii in terms of money. I set an - TigerMatt STL - 12/16 16:11:35

Relax, basic math is hard for some people (nm) - BigDave MU - 12/16 16:39:49

is it your claim that if they took the ave of total deaths - tigerinhogtown STL - 12/16 15:47:14

By treating those weeks as zero, they are statistically - Eggs MU - 12/16 15:24:28

Each of you is showing your ignorance of research design - paleojas MU - 12/16 15:27:00

Where do you think they get excessive death numbers from? - TigerMatt STL - 12/16 15:23:23

Yes you can.... - paleojas MU - 12/16 15:25:53

You explained it well here - Eggs MU - 12/16 15:32:25

That is what TigerMatt is arguing (nm) - Sal MU

- 12/16 15:40:35

No it's not. - paleojas MU - 12/16 15:46:12

Yes, he specifically addressed the footnote - Sal MU

- 12/16 15:54:53

Yeah.. excess deaths gets to ignore any non zero numbers - TigerMatt STL - 12/16 16:00:08

In the footnotes - Eggs MU - 12/16 15:40:13

oy... - paleojas MU - 12/16 15:45:30

That would not give an accurate count - Sal MU

- 12/16 15:21:16

Yes it would. It would not give an accurate count of TOTAL - paleojas MU - 12/16 15:23:07

Excess deaths are directly tied to observed deaths. - TigerMatt STL - 12/16 15:34:12

Wrong again. - paleojas MU - 12/16 15:38:08

Why all the F bombs? You're obviously an educated dude - Eggs MU - 12/16 15:27:19

The f bombs are out of the frustration I see daily when - paleojas MU - 12/16 15:28:36

I understand your frustration. Believe me, I'm frustrated - Eggs MU - 12/16 15:30:02
