> What about this:

What? 1 in 5 in a city is quite far from 90%, isn't it?

If you spew the "90% might have it" bullshit claim when you were fully aware that at best you know of a city which might have 20% then it looks like you are intentionally and knowingly spreading lies and false information. Don't do that.

> Also, you picked 5%, but in your article they also say it's almost 15% in some areas. You're not spreading lies now, right?

We were making global claims about how 90% might already contracted covid19. I presented a country-wide study, which as of today is the best and most extensive one done at a country-level.

The study points out a 5% infection rate in one of the countries which so far has been hit the hardest.

Do you have a problem with that study?

Moreover, the hotspot you cherry-picked refer to specific cities and municipalities. Soria, For example, barely has a population of 90k. Madrid comes second with 11%, which is 6% higher than the national average and still lower than 90%.

So even your cherry picking doesn't deflect the fact that your claim that 90% might have it is clearly bullshit and that you are knowingly and intentionally lying and spreading false information.
