It's a sad day in investing when someone has to explain the "Basic Math" of percentages.
40,000 is number of infected with MPox
8,000,000,000 (8 billion) is estimated population of planet
0.000005 = ratio of number of infected to total population (40,000 / 8 billion)
x100% converts ratio to percentage
40,000 / 8,000,000,000 x 100% = 0.0005%
It's no wonder some people suck at investing when even basic math skills are lacking.
