Coulter Mocked For Coronavirus ‘Less Dangerous Than Flu’ Tweet: ‘Ann Doesn’t Understand Math. Don’t Be Like Ann.’

Conservative author and pundit Ann Coulter was slammed for a tweet Tuesday afternoon claiming the seasonal flu is more deadly compared to the coronavirus for people under 60, while attaching a chart that contradicted her claim.

The chart, which is from a story put out by Business Insider, compares the CDC’s flu death rate to South Korea’s Disease Control and Prevention coronavirus’ death rates by age group, which concludes the death rate for the coronavirus is much higher compared to the death rate for the flu in both the groups, under and over-60.

Users on Twitter proceeded to rip the pundit and told her to read the chart again.

Read the fucking chart

Anti- Trump pundit Rick Wilson mocked Coulter’s tweet stating, “Math. How do it work?”

Part of my research is about the ways in which political ideology shapes how people process data.

This, where Coulter presents data that show the exact opposite of what she claims, is the most amazing thing I’ve ever seen. https://t.co/i9mfUjyiF1

We’ll never settle the “stupid or lying” question about the right’s propagandists. But as Ann Coulter demonstrates here, you should never underestimate the degree to which they are just super super dumb. https://t.co/2snpLWrwBK

Amazingly, it turns out that Ann Coulter is also bad at math.

Fund science education. Insist on science literacy. Elect scientists (or people who listen and learn from them).

To bolster my argument, I present the wretched alternative: an exercise in comprehension failure, by @AnnCoulter. https://t.co/VRoCBhrYB0
