Again, we're engineers. We're numerate. We're the type of people that have an innate sense when numbers just "sound wrong". 

She's a lawyer-turned-judge. 100,000 might not sound all that alarming to her because it's a number both so large in a real sense and so small in relation to a 330M population nation that she simply cannot fathom what that number actually means. 

Numbers are confusing and scary to most people.

and yet she is in a position of control over our lives which is kinda scary

when I think of the Supreme Court I dont think in terms of party affiliation until now

we need to investigate what other stupid things they believe

I'm sure Badge would agree with me that if we had a lot more engineers, and far fewer lawyers, in Congress, that the country would be a better place.

Your "they" is CDC Goddess Walensky. Take it up with her, not the reporter. She is the one who said 96.5 percent.

100,000 is NOT double 3,500. 100,000/3,500 = 28.5.
Quote from: OrangeAfroMan on January 10, 2022, 01:40:24 PM

96.5% more of something is almost double.  If you have a cookie and I give you 100% more cookie, you have 2.  That's all.  I didn't read the numbers, but now that I see them, that's still not right.  96.5% more of something isn't 3500 out of 100,000.  You could only say 96.5% more if you continued with percents. 
Quote from: Cincydawg on January 09, 2022, 02:52:03 PM

Because it's not anywhere near "double"?????

It's a much larger miss than "double", as noted.  What should they have said?  She claimed 100,000 and the actual figure is closer to 3,500?

Quote from: betarhoalphadelta on January 10, 2022, 02:47:53 PM

Okay, but y'all are fighting about the (96.5%) math, that it doesn't (as far as I can tell) directly quote Walensky saying 96.5% anywhere, and is no longer in the headline or the text of the article.


  • 3,500 is 3.5% of 100,000.
  • 100,000 is not 96.5% higher than 3,500. It's 28,571% higher than 3,500.
  • A number that is 96.5% higher than 3,500 would be 6,878.
Oh now you all show your cards.Just where in the hell were all you slappies for important matters? Like when I was placing wagers,crunching numbers,factoring %s,calculating stats,historical data,searching handicapping formulas,and a host of other variables to dissect any match up,predict an out come of a game and scrape up a decent profit margin.Thanks for nothing

Omicron now represents over 95% of new virus cases
