Unfortunately the misleading claims of those two doctors in Bakersfield keep making the rounds, so I want to very briefly address the problem with what they are saying.

I won't get into their possible motives, past political activity, etc.

What they did was simple: they looked at the fraction of patients who tested positive for #COVID19 at the clinics they own. They found 340 out of 5213 tests were postive, about 6.6%

Then they assume the same fraction of the whole population are infected.

From there, they scale up to the state level and claim 12% incidence statewide. The news story says it is using the same calculation, but it can't be—how did they get from 6.6% to 12%? Perhaps they estimating infected *ever* versus infected *currently*. It's not clear.

Using that 12% infected figure, and a known 1400 deaths in California, they assume 1400 out of 4.7 million have died. That gives them an infection fatality rate of 0.03%. That is, they think that if 10,000 are infected, 3 will die on average.

The problem with this approach is that during a pandemic, the people who come into an urgent care clinic are not a random sample of the population.

A large fraction of them are coming in precisely because they suspect that they have the disease.

This generates sampling bias.

Estimating that fraction infected from patients at an urgent care facility is a bit like estimating the average height of Americans from the players on an NBA court.

It's not a random sample, and it gives a highly biased estimate.

Moreover the estimate does not pass even a basic plausibility check.

In New York City, 12,067 people are known to have died from the virus, out of a population of 8.4 million.

This is a rate of 0.14% of all people. Not just infected people. All people.

its funny how musk, who is making bank on scamming retards with tesla, is calling out other people for scamming.
i respect musk's ability, i can't lie

Normies don't care about this, I mentioned it in a comment on a local news site and got accused of being a conspiracy theorist and got told to drink bleach.

You can shoot actual facts into a normie's baby and they will still refuse to believe them if in so doing suits their need to have politicians in control of everyone.

retarded fucking 'elon is never wrong' manchild

>>Musk: I'm building a brain to PC neural network
His entire reasoning behind this is to give man the ability to interface with it and at least marginally keep up, so we're not completely left in the dust. Musk believes AI is inevitable and we can only mitigate whatever disasters lie in wait.

Fuck that safaggot

Very based

Does nobody know how to tent? Are we short on Visqueen?

Someone send elon some dancing nurses gif.
