  • Two reasons there's so much happening in response to COVID-19 are the transmission and mortality rates. Both are notably higher than the flu. This matters because of how those two factors relate to each other.

    Your wife was my favorite author, and her death last year shook me more than my grandmother's death two months earlier. God bless you as you raise your kids and thank you for sharing this. I've had a kiddo on a ventilator with RSV, and I don't want to repeat that experience.

    This is exactly why people should stay off of Social Media. Fear and Panic is created, by people who don't have the mental capacity to look beyond a specific moment in time. #socialmediadistancing

    The terminally ill, immune disorders and elderly and those with low immune systems are the ones dying from this virus.
    This video means nothing if you forget to take care to boost your immune system and wash your hands.
    I do care and have the utmost compassion for y'all that's why I'm bringing awareness. ❤️

    This math seriously underestimates the real numbers. You need to take this down and do it again. You have to do it by adding each group together as well as by multiplying. You have to add up the people at each level of multiplication. Great job but it's better to fix it than to give people the idea that it's not as bad as it is.

      Exactly! The right conclusions are drawn here, but when presenting examples, the math needs to be correct as that's not always the case.

      Right! And I'm not math teacher, so I am having trouble explaining how to calculate it correctly even though I know how the math id wrong. Can anyone reading this help to better explain the mistake than I can? Is there a math teacher in the house? 😂😊

      The equation for covid would be more like 1+ (1x3) + (total of last parentheses x3) +..... I can only think of how you would calculate it in Excel. 😂

    Inventive math. He said 1 tenth of %1? Do it yourself on your own phone. 1/10 or One divided by Ten. I get 0.1. Watch his math skills take a leap from bad to good at minute 1.01 compared to minute 2.23

      To get ten percent of something, you multiply by 0.1.
      To get one percent of something, you multiply by 0.01
      To get one tenth of a percent of something, you multiply by 0.001.

    • @wiredforstereo

      You're leaving out the percent. 0.1 X 0.01 = 0.1% = 0.001

      0.1% converted to a decimal for multiplying is 0.001. (You take away the percent sign and move the decimal 2 spaces to the left). Source for refreshing: www.thebalance.com/convert-percentages-and-decimals-315231
