Texas has had 4,140,000 cases of COVID-19 resulting in 68,075 deaths.

So far.

For comparison 2,996 people died in the September 11 attacks of 2001, which resulted in significant losses of freedom, a lot more substantial than putting on a mask when you go out.

(You still have to put on pants when you go out. No one seems to be complaining about that).

you simply DO NOT understand the art form known as “statistics”, nor do you understand how easily they are manipulated to make them say whatever you want them to say.

statistics are not data. these are completely different forms of expression. one is unarguable fact, the other is a vehicle of personal politics.

also, if you honestly believe that the average american had more freedoms compromised because of 9/11 than this 20 odd month shit show, i’d really like to move to where you live……which i’m assuming is texas lol. maybe florida.

I have a degree in mathematics and my job often involves statistical analysis.

So assume I can understand the jargon: What specifically is a better statistical analysis of the data?

Hmm. Which do you claim is which? Are you suggesting raw data is "unarguable fact" independent of how it is collected? Or that it is a vehicle of personal politics because it can be biased by the methods of collection?

I'm pretty sure that's accountancy. Different faculty. I did mathematics in the science faculty. Accountancy is usually taught in the business faculty.
