    I did, and came up with 4.7%. Then I saw a presentation on television that put the U.S. death rate at 5.7%. I like my calculator's precisiin better.

    You made a claim that the death rate is less than 0.1%. It's on you to prove it. If you can't, please stop blabbing nonsense, trying to justify the crap coming from Trump's little cake hole.

    Thanks, but I really wanted @AFM to answer imself. He's one of the many here who make claims but never back them up, and I find that annoying.

    Promoting unproven cures is absolutely not a President duty and responsibility

    13 times, Trump stepped out of his Realty business to promote "game changers", and all failed. Luckily for him, the tax payers and multiple third parties ended up paying his tab.

    Today, he's doing the exact same thing; He steps out of his presidential duties and responsibilities, and promotes unproven cures/game changers. In other words, he hasn't changed!

    Last, all Trump's wounds/malaises were self-inflicted, and we have a very unwise President primarily due to his narcissism, well, "you reap what you sow". In addition, several prominent Republicans are now telling him/wish he would; "JUST BE A PRESIDENT!"

    Mortality is the number of deaths divided by the number of infections. That is ~ 0.1%.

    I have answered and backed that answer up many times. Had you done your homework you would have known that.

    I think it is only a matter of time that Biden himself will be irrelevant. Even some Dems are starting to walk away from him. Bernie Dems I would assume.

    Kinda bizarre to say "Trump is a moron", then offer up Joe Biden for President.

    It actually makes an incredible amount of sense because Biden is objectively smarter.

    And because Trump is a "****ing moron."

    Here's my test Basic. Tell me a single subject on which you have heard trump discuss at length, in one speech that was not scripted, upon which you left thinking, "That man has studied the subject immensely and has a very knowledgeable and nuanced opinion."

    That has quite honestly, never happened for me in terms of Trump and, more importantly, no one has ever provided me a single example to support their own willingness to believe it has happened.

    Go ahead. Give it a try. Find me a single speech and let me know where I can find it.

    You see those slightly darker panes of glass to his left and right? Those are teleprompters. So, no, that will not count.

    That's not mortality, it's the mortality rate.

    Again, show me your math. Give me a link to proof of your claim.

    No, you have not. Not even once. Another user provided your proof while you provided nothing. You're an empty poster with zero credibility.

    Carefully read the list of Corona virus threads. The information you think is contained there in.

    That's a really cheap cop-out to send him on some ridiculous goose chase through the list of Corona virus threads. He has asked for your math, so show it.

    And while you are it, make sure you include the data that suggests the number of deaths is anywhere from 60% to upwards of 10x higher.
    Global coronavirus death toll could be 60% higher than reported
    To know the real number of coronavirus cases in the US, China, or Italy, researchers say multiply by 10

    The election of 2016 says he was smart enough to become President. He's been smart enough to out wit, out play, and out smart all of you who have been trying to take him down. Hell! he should send a tape into Jeff and maybe he can be selected for the next season of Survivor.

    Did a Secretary of State who worked for the Joe Biden administration call Biden a ****ing moron?

    Nah. That was Trump.
