Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Here are some of the problems that I caught in the book based on my own understanding and research. (Since I read the book in the Kindle app for windows, the references are in the % format.) I recommend you not to buy the book and not to waste your time reading it. 28% progress into the book The book denies the impact of lockdowns on the spread of coronavirus. In some parts of the book, the author highlights why the early prediction of scientists changed over time. Well, you should think one more time. Lockdown happened, and then the curve flattened, and then fewer people needed to go to the hospital, and then the early predictions changed. Makes sense? How difficult is this to understand? There is a relationship between these two: Lockdown & Number of new cases 30% The highlight about German research institute > searched it on the internet > couldn’t find 64% progression to the book The numbers are wrong. A simple calculator shows that the 60 percent is false (Talking about the carrier) 66% I am glad that he didn’t deny the fact that the fatality rate of COVID is worse than the flue 71% It seems that the author doesn't know the meaning of the median. Example, let’s say we have 7 dead people due to COVID and these are their age: 20, 21, 23, 80, 81, 82, 84 In this example, the median is 80, but does it mean that only older people die of COVID? of course not, what about the people on age 20, 21, 23? (in my example) 76% The author did not provide any reference for the numbers about Italy and the United Kingdom 80% The author provides his own opinion of the explanation of the “Case” and concludes. I was hoping to see references 91% “The website uses the higher figure” How do you say it without any references? 100% Wrong content in my idea. Let’s say that a prediction says that in June, for example, 100 people will die from COVID. Another study from last year says that in June 2019, 60 people died. Can you conclude that let’s not do anything about COVID because 60% of people die anyway? Of course not. The truth is that the real number of dead people would be somewhere between 100-160, depending on how many of the 60 dead people also get coronavirus. ********************************************************************************** Update 6/6 to answer some of the new comments: Question 1: So you are saying that Amazon should censorship the book? Answer 1: I am not against Censorship. Let's make an example. Imagine someone makes a website on the internet and mentions in his/her websites that based on his/her research, drinking bleach is the cure for coronavirus. Obviously that is a wrong statement. But if you allow this to be online on the internet and someone takes the person's advice and drink bleach and dies, would you still say that it is a good idea to have his/her website running? This imaginary website spreads the wrong information and leads people to death! Question 2: The author used mean and not median because if he had used mean the extreme numbers would have skewed the result Answer 2: With numbers such as age, there are not extreme Outliers numbers. We don't have someone with the age of 1000. So obviously, there won't be any extreme numbers to skew the results Question 3: Re-check your math, you calculated a wrong number for median Answer 3: Please note, there is a difference between mean and median Question 4: There are places that didn't lockdown and they had the same "curve flattening" that you attribute to the lockdowns. Answer4: Can you name some of those places that you are talking about? ************************************************************************************ Update 6/17 1- The main question that is still not answered: 76% The author did not provide any reference for the numbers about Italy and the United Kingdom. This is a big deal for me. 2- For those of you who still don't believe in lockdown, please read the article from BBC that was published on June 8 (just google it) Coronavirus: Lockdowns in Europe saved millions of lives 3- "What's with all the percentages in your review? And I accidentally thanked you for your feedback. I do not, in reality, thank you because most of it I can not even understand" Answer: If you have the kindle for windows, it won't give you page number because you could change the font size and spacing of the ebook you're reading. You could view the reading progress on Kindle instead. The percentages are the progress in the windows app.
