You're done because we both know the math is correct, my argument is sound, and you don't like that. I see it often in these types of debates. It's easier to walk away from a losing position than to defend it. I'm not sure what you think I changed but the math is fairly straight forward. Nashville metro is 2 million people. There were 80 cases confirmed traced to bars and restaurants. They were keeping bars and restaurants closed because they were "hotspots". When you take 80 and divide by 2,000,000 you get .00004 or .004%. Therefore, the government was keeping bars and restaurants shut down because .004% of the infections came from bars and restaurants. They restricted indoor recreation for 2 million because of 80 cases.

  Actually your argument is not sound as the person you are replying to already pointed out in a previous response to you that you seem to have missed. You actually contradicted yourself. Note: "There were 80 cases confirmed traced to bars and restaurants." "[80] of the infections came from bars and restaurants." Those two statements are not the same as each other - the first, from the authorities, is true, the second, from you, is almost certainly not true unless every single infection from a bar or restaurant was actually traced.

  Please, please don't use "you stopped responding, so I'm right". It is one of the most infuriating (and also pretty insulting) things you could have said. People stop responding because they have better things to do with their time, and/or because they know an interaction is bad for them or for the other person (e.g. is enraging them), and/or because they took a while to work out that they were arguing with someone who cannot change their mind, and/or even because they can't face being wrong. There are dozens of reasons for refusing to engage in a pointless and enraging discussion.
