Covid-19 cardiological study that BIG10 used for cancellation is fraught with errors

To be fair, the study that shut down the entire world was off by millions so shutting down the Big 10 isn't that big of a deal really.

They don't care about that.

any study that only looks at 100 people has the possibility of being a statistical anomaly

Jesus... That's not what the study was based on, dummy. It said the study found that "19 out of 100 blah blah".. Ya know, as in a way to represent percentage.

I can't believe this is the evidence the Big 10 and Pac 12 used to cancel the season.

Your pathetic and uneducated assumption above is how fake news is spread.

Only had a 100 people total, the average age was 50, and most had at least moderate symptoms.

There were 1457 participants in the JAMA study

coincidence? I think not.

I believe in the words of the all mighty Fauci..."a study based on just 100 test subjects with no placebo is only anecdotal evidence....oh wait this is evidence to show the virus is bad.....OK never mind i retract that anecdotal part, shut it all down"

did i say that right?

Huh?

The study only had 100 people total

His point is no matter what the results are is worthless basically with that little sample size

I think you guys are missing the boat a little bit here. The guy critiquing the study is not so much focused on the overall sample size, but that the researcher appeared to oversample the amount of "unhealthy" people relative the total German population. He used blood pressure as his metric to state that the study had about 50% of people with high blood pressure whereas statistically you would only expect to find 19% of such people relative to the entire German population. Thus there was sampling bias not reflective of the population at large.
