Maybe you clever boys can correct my basic arithmetic. 8 billion people, 5.3 million deaths = 0.00066% death rate (or 0.00069% if the deaths are now at 5.54 million)

LOL so glad you fell into that trap - I had a feeling that's how you were doing your lying. The "death rate" is not measured against the global population, it's measured against the number of people who have contracted the disease. Just like you don't measure the percentage of people who die from car accidents against the global population but rather against those who drive. Talk about spouting pure bullshit just to try make a point. Anyway it's pointless engaging with you so I will resume lurking and pop my head out when bored again.

Help me out here Jimmy. 328million cases and 5.54 million deaths = 0.0169 % ?

Multiply by 100 to make it a percentage, Einstein.

(a/b)*100 gives it as a percentage

Nope. Just publically making a fool of yourself. But at least you've revealed how bad your maths/stats really is, so I can stop engaging with you as if you don't have the maths ability of a five year old.

It is just not worth the effort TT. Ignorance can be cured but stupid lasts forever, and you are dealing with the posterboy of stupid.

And you think i'm going away because my arithmetic is poor ?
The day I get convinced the government cares about its citizens or that the media doesn't lie or mislead or that the pharmaceutical complex which makes billions out of our illnesses wants to cure us, then i will relent.

I never once questioned whether or not the government is misleading us (they are) or that big pharma are corrupt (they are). I was questioning your statements that included gross - not slight, but gross - mathematical errors. Whenever anyone disputes your "facts" you deflect, just as you did here. You have an opportunity to actually educate but you squander that opportunity with 3rd grade maths and puerile argument techniques. I don't want you to go away I just want you to stop trolling, because that is all you are doing and it is dangerous (and yes, I am consciously feeding the troll in this reply).

Only ESA Admin can decide what is trolling and make that call. Should they deem it so, I will desist forthwith.

This funny lolololol
