6 ÷ (no whole number) = 25%
Therefore, “Residents age 20 through 29 years old represent 25 percent of all ongoing cases” is not possible, aka fake news.

  All ongoing cases means all cases for the health unit. (25% of 32)

    Thanks for clarification. Typically in English rhetoric we only reference items that have been introduced into the discussion previously, so it’s not clear as you had already defined the ongoing cases as 6 in text above.

    Where’s the “Beef”?
    I thought someone had a “Beef” with this article?
    Are they hiding?
    
    Why?
    
    lol.

      I questioned the poor delivery of statistics, and the AE admin clarified. Then the question was then taken down to avoid attracting trolls but seems the trolls can’t even resist flailing against empty air….

        Nice try at spinning what actually happened.
        Your inability to comprehend what you were reading led you to attach the AE for your misunderstanding.
        Your posts were taken down because you have a penchant for attacking the AE when no attack is even remotely justified.
        The only thing Fake here is your outrage. Try a different business model.

        No sir, the point still stands as read and described above.
        1) “the number of ongoing cases…rose to 6”
        2) Followed by reference to a fraction of “on-going cases”
        3) Followed by a new definition of on-going cases.
        Written dialectic in our language builds the case from the top. Once defined a term stands dominant until redefined. Linearly speaking the delivery is non-logical and remains so; the reader at that point cannot be left wondering: 25% of what?
        It’s not outrage, Sir, it’s a quest for rationality in this era of media misinformation and misdirection Here in these comment sections I’ve only prodded the AE for explicit misuse of medical definitions and illogical presentation of information.

        Since you feel free to accuse the AE of “Fake news”, and me of being a “Troll”, grant me the same literary license. I suspect that you are an Anti-vaxer, a Case-demic conspiracy nut, an American, a Facebook addict, and maybe a Covid-19 disinformation terrorist. All of those accusations come directly from the posts you made. I’m not even sure you are “Drake Larsen”, but rather an internet troll who has created a Disqus identity on the basis of freely available information posted to the internet of a local resident.
        Thus I think you may be a criminal guilty of identity theft.
        But that’s just me, I’m cynical.

        sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don’t.
