If you don't...


...post context about the following issues when throwing out your "600,000" number, then you are trying to mislead people, IMO:

-- age of deceased
-- preexisting health of deceased
-- actual cause of death (not this bullshit classification of 80-year-old dementia/cancer patients dying "with" COVID)
-- death rates in areas requiring masks/lockdowns vs. death rates in areas that don't

If I recall correctly from our previous conversations, you work in the capital markets. (If not, my bad.) Quoting "600,000" deaths is like saying Company X reported EPS of $2.15 per share so you should buy the stock. It's a meaningless number without context. For context, you'd ask questions like the following: What was expected? What was the growth rate? What was the quality of earnings? How did competitors do? What is the forecast? What is valuation? Etc. Only after obtaining that info could you understand the $2.15 number and, more importantly, whether it's good or bad for the stock in question.

When I ask for and provide context about COVID, I'm not the one trying to misinform people -- I'm doing the opposite.
