@Flick @Lady_Penelope The assumption of innumeracy is probably accurate.
During lockdowns one friend told me that one tenth of the UK had died of the kung flu (don't you care you evil bigot etc etc). So between 7 and 8 million bodies littering the streets apparently.
Another told me that over a quarter of a million people had died in India in a day of convid (look how bad it is, don't you care etc etc). I reminded her that was about the size of a small city in the UK compared to India's population of 1 and a half billion, and that more died of other diseases such as malnutrition, dysentery, cancer etc. She worked for a government body that managed statistics for the MOD.
I might forgive the first one; she wears her lack of education as a badge of honour and lives on social media for approval. The second one I'm not so sure.
