That's the thing that he either does not understand or does but refuses to admit it.  Even if you take these numbers at face value (which I do not for all the reasons I've cited) they are being misused and misunderstood by the likes of Goofy.  And I have explained it to him over and over.  It is explained very well in the May 2020 CDC document.  When he critiqued my response by saying it was old data and I pointed out what his tables showed at the time the CDC put their best estimate mortality rate at less than 0.4% he simply ignored that and went back to his original argument.  I don't know of any way to reach him because of his TDS.  He is incapable of logical thought and lacks even rudimentary critical thinking skills or he would have given up a while ago.  And I am quite sure he was cheered on by other leftists that I have on ignore.  Maybe you have reached him but I am not optimistic.

It's the same thing with the masks.  They think of everything in ideological terms.  I don't like masks because I am a conservative.  In reality nothing could be further from the truth.  I don't like masks because based on the studies I have read they don't protect people the way they are being touted by the media and the government.  That is anti-science and I am just not inclined to roll over and do what they tell me to do just because......I need proof and to date no one has provided it although there is plenty of data and studies that contend that masks don't work. 

But when you view every aspect of life through the lens of ideology it makes you do and say really dumb things.....like driving around in your car all by yourself wearing a truple mask....or continuing to misrepresent the relevance of the number of positive cases and deaths attributed to the virus in some database.
