WaPo Fact Checker Glenn Kessler's attempted COVID19 math dunk on Donald Trump isn't the brilliant own he thinks it is

Good news, everyone! WaPo Fact Checker Glenn Kessler’s hot streak from yesterday has continued into today.

Let’s set the stage:

someone needs to learn what "per capita" means. https://t.co/SCUchasCev

US now has more cases 20 days after the 100th case than any other country —including China and Italy. https://t.co/ZEDxEGwLmm

Ahem:

Didn't you *just* get done mocking Trump for not going by per capita when discussing tests? https://t.co/CFOxCtKDfN

Well, yeah. But …

Forget it, he's mathing

Heh.

Couldn’t even make it a whole hour, Glenn?

He's a fact-checker, not a math-understanderer

Guess we should go easy on him.

Hilariously, there are people arguing in my mentions that per capita matters in testing but not in number of cases.

Because if the US and Iceland both have 100k cases, that's the exact same things.

Pro tip: Don’t be like Glenn.

Self-awareness, not even once
