"My observation being the Spanish Flu pandemic killed estimated 20 million people world wide in a population of 2 billion estimated, world wide"
"At that rate of mortality we'd expect about 20 fatalities on the Big Island."
Actually at that rate we'd expect 1440 fatalties on the Big Island, 77 as many.
"Faulty math? That's preposterous"
If you won't even admit you're wrong on such a minor matter as dividing one number by another
and multiplying it by a third number, then discussion with you really is pointless.
Your innumeracy does explain a lot though.
Got any more insults? Compare me to a barking dog again!!
