::::::I challenge you to find a comic in the archive that can't be twisted to say it's related to COVID-19. At this point people are finding connections in the same way that people analyze "the curtain is blue".

Could someone please double check that the given uncertainty formula for "Precise number / ( Garbage – Garbage )" at the second to the bottom is correct? I'm not sure it properly accommodates the uncertainty of the numerator.

− | Are the [https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php?title=2295:_Garbage_Math&diff=191031&oldid=191030 changes from "=" to "≈"] correct? Either way, isn't the proper symbol for the relation "≅" ("approximately equal to") instead of "≈" ("almost equal to")? As is illustrated by catastrophic cancellation, an approximation may not be "almost" correct. | + | Are the [https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php?title=2295:_Garbage_Math&diff=191031&oldid=191030 changes from "=" to "≈"] correct?
