Coronavirus Information...who do you trust?

I need to find forums with dumber people so I can feel more capable.    Sad

Don't worry. Some of these folks will make you feel like Einstein. Ninja

In all seriousness, don't feel bad. We have lots of conversations with these sorts of things where something that is second nature to one person is a blind spot for another. The important thing to keep in mind is that we need to work on being kind to others in those instances rather than stoking flames, which is what usually happens.

100% is 1.0
50% is 0.5
10% is 0.1
.02% is 0.0002

If you want to find what 25% of something is you would multiply it by 0.25.

Thanks for answering this one, Phil. I tend to not be on my computer at home as much as possible, so I just saw this.
