Mindmeld, > But if you knew anything about math, you'd realize that as long as you use the same denominator across comparison groups, the comparison difference will be the same.

The denominator isn't the same. I already demonstrated it.

> You aren't thinking clearly on this one, Ten. Why don't you just admit that you were wrong and that it is true that H1N1 has a higher death rate than regular flu?

Because the data isn't available yet. And the number of flu cases this year is not significantly higher, nor is the death rate higher. 41% is only the result of your fuzzy math.

Sorry, but when it comes to stupid math tricks, I have to be a hardass ...
