> I don't understand what's wrong with the data they presented.

They took stats from a massively self-selecting population - people seeking out COVID-19 testing at their facilities - and extrapolated to the general public.

That's inexcusably dumb.

As the bit I quoted states, that's like "estimating the average height of Americans from the players on an NBA court".
