re: Bama student body at 29% Covid positivity rate

Like I said a complete waste of time. You answer a question with baseless ad hominem attacks instead of facts to support your claims. I don’t distrust all media but I can tell when someone’s full of shite.

-there are 5 million people living in Alabama
-There are 115k confirmed cases in Alabama
-that’s an infection rate of 2.3%
-There are 38,000+ enrolled at Alabama, that’s .08% of the states population.
-29% would mean between 11 and 12k of those students have tested positive.
-that means 10% of all cases in the state of Alabama are at the university of Alabama

So .08% of the people living in Alabama account for 10% of the cases when the infection rate is 2.3% statewide?

Do you know how impossible that is?

Where did I say I believe the 29% infection rate of the student body?

I will say your calculation for the infection rate is kind of curious. That's what it currently is but that number can easily rise especially if you put a lot of people in enclosed spaces together
