My apologies because I can’t find the article I read this morning on the bogus use of data to create the impression that the flu is spreading rapidly. And I really wanted to link to it so you could see what’s going on.

So I’ll just give you my cliff notes version. Suppose in week one you test 100 people and 10 test positive and then in week two you test 200 people and 20 test positive and in week three you test 300 people and 30 test positive. Now as you can see ten percent tested positive each week and you could report it that way or you could do what the fear mongering left does and just report the number of positive test without the appropriate context. Doing that would lead to a graph showing a steady increase in whu flu cases which you can use to falsely claim there is a second wave and it keeps getting worse so we have to keep you locked down.
