The Indian Variant

yes Moz...he got 120, that's where the whole thing started.

He's just too chicken to admit his gaffe. 

...did you use a calculator though?

If so, did it beep?

I have already marked this thread as another victory to me. 
All answers have been provided, just read this thread from start to finish.

70+50% = 120% increase. (not 250%). The calculators confirm that this is a little more than double the transmissibility rate. 
There is no need to thank me, but I will be available next week to sign autographs for all my fans. 

Signing out, from yours truly, and Dolph Lungersin (sic)

Haha signing out?

Don't you mean falling off?

Hahahaha please mark this thread it’s a classic. Hint the 50% refers to an increase off the UK variant, not the Wuhan variant. You can’t apply the 50% to the Wuhan variant which is what you are doing.

Noone has won this thread. The base statistics are numbers plucked from nowhere. It's a fact that numbers have been padded by non-Covid cases. We don't know how transmittable the virus is; we will likely never know. 

Aug, if you looked through this thread you'll have seen the level of simpleton we're dealing with.

Here, he made a clear, really dumb and provable error...yet still declared himself "the winner".

Arguing anything even remotely abstract or nuanced with these types is entirely pointless. You'll just get second-hand CNN and BBC talking points chucked at you IE "zi science".

"I see what you mean now...

This thread has turned into a Viking funeral. 

Not in the respectful sense. Just, there's a dead/defeated corpse floating down river to a volley of flaming arrows. 

We all thought it would be his poor calculations of blood alcohol levels(remember that gem?) that would do him in. Ultimately, nobody could have guessed he'd run headlong off of a cliff shouting "I win," as he did so.

Haha thanks, Moz.

It is actually what I pictured as poor postmortem Sharkie managed to draw further fire from Draad.

Perhaps he sees the funny side now, from somewhere in Valhalla.

What a legendary thread...I was looking for something else and came across this...made me LMAO...again!

Good riddance to covid!

The only thing I can remember about covid is the fact that it is a virus developed in the Wuhan Laboratory and not much worse than annual deaths as a result of complications then used as a scare tactic by Governments to  subdue people to do their bidding.    The fact is this type of overreach by Governments in the life of people is always the idol of lefties - whose brain functioning ceased as a result of brainwashing.    

The vaccines did not stop infection of people and it did not stop vaccinated people from spreading the disease.
