Calculating someone’s odds of dying from something isn’t bound by their population... It sounds like they multiplied several probabilities together, I wouldn’t mind seeing how it was arrived at
I think they have a point, they are just making it poorly.
If only 1 in 19 million die of COVID, that means there would only be 2 COVID deaths for that age group in all of California. The number is clearly higher than that, so this statistic is bullshit
No they don't they are dumb. They would have said that the numbers don't match reality if that were the case. Not argue that a 1 in 50 billion chance isn't a real stat because there aren't 50 billion people.
And then their reply to me based on that stat is "Sorry if you don't know how to simplfy fractions." like how is that even your take away? Sorry the person your defending is just a dumb fuck.
So your odds of dying from covid are orders of magnitude LOWER than dying from the flu? Look, I believe the response to covid has been entirely irrational and downright malicious, but the numbers you guys are spreading here are obviously nonsense. I don't think you understood the point of the person you replied to.

What do you mean? Women have a 1 in 7 chance of getting breast cancer
That means 1 in every 7 women, statistically, will end up diagnosed with it
I'm just going to say it, you're dumb as shit.
That also means 2 in 14,
It also means 20 billion in 140 billion, or 10 billion in 70 billion even though there aren't that many people.....
Did you just sleep through math?

If you don't know how to simplify fractions, I can't help you.
Oh, you're not just dumb, you're stupid.
