If your concern is misinformation, you could follow the moderator suggestion and start a new thread in QZ about your opinion of the validity and importance of this piece of information on the pandemic.

Conversation was not shut down, just asked to be moved elsewhere.

The mod didn’t post that the information was wrong, although he did disagree, He posted that what **Trom** posted didn’t refute the argument and was asking for further discussion be taken to another thread from [here](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/coronavirus-covid-19-2019-ncov-thread-breaking-news/847758/5959)

> [Global case fatality rates](https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/mortality) from Johns Hopkins. The information you posted does not refute that. If you wish to discuss the fatality rate, take it to another thread. Do not debate it here. Colibri QZ Moderator
