Coronavirus in the United States - news and thoughts

No, I just chopped it down to dividing by how many millions. So basically, we have 4.5 deaths per million.

 

Got it. Thanks.

 

Western Europe....France, Spain , Netherlands, Italy, Switzerland etc....probably a wiki page with them listed.

 

So we aren't Western? Because we aren't in Western Europe.

 

I tell you what - average all the Western European countries as a whole with that by their total combined populations and compare them to the US results and get back with me.

 

Quite the shift in goalposts from us being one of the lowest.

 

I avoided the fever stuff, but if the question is deaths per capita, this site actually has a columns for that.

Coronavirus Update (Live): 585,000 Cases and 26,844 Deaths from COVID-19 Virus Outbreak - Worldometer

 

Go ahead and add Canada if you want to Western Europe. You just dont like what the numbers will show.

 

Your claim: we have one of the lowest deaths to population ratios in the West.

I pointed out quite a few countries with lower rates to show it wasn't true.

That was factually inaccurate. I thought you would take your medicine when you were wrong. Oh well.

 

I think most people looking at this would say the US is doing well with regard to most countries in regards to deaths per population. Not sure why that's being debated still.

 

Tell you what list all the modern western countries in the northern hemisphere temperate zone like us and look how the US adds up - you are listing countries doing barely better than the US and avoiding the ones the US is miles ahead of which make up most of those.

Also explain why people are nearly 3 times as likely to have passed from this stuff under Democrat Governors than Republican Governors in the US based on the US population breakdown despite all their draconian lockdowns in those states.

 

You figure that moving the goalposts even more by adding more conditions on your initially wrong statement is going to make it less wrong? Still not taking your medicine I see.

 

Nope that is a 100% true comparison as those countries are in the same spot for flu season activity etc. All you can do is try and find a few places where most are doing just a little better in many cases. The rest of the countries in what I described if you add them up together are getting destroyed by the US in doing good against this stuff in the stat that matters.

 

The argument would be, the US is weeks behind many other countries. Cuomo has stated NY's peak won't come for several more weeks and hospitals are already pushing capacity. Once capacity hits, deaths will spike because there just won't be enough people, space or equipment to care for everyone who needs it. That is what is being seen in Italy, Spain etc....
I believe we will also see it in less developed countries whose resources are nowhere near ours.

 

The entirety of Europe is in the temperate zone. And I found more than a few. 12 in fact. And I could give you some more if you would like. You didn't claim that we weren't the highest (which would be true). You claimed we were one of the lowest. That is not true. Stop trying to dodge responsibility for saying something false, especially given that you are continuing to make claims without a basis and claiming that you will stand up and take the hit if they are shown to be false. Stand up and prove that you will take responsibility for making an empirically false claim or fail to do so because you can't take that you were obviously wrong.

 

Another one ...

We aren't weeks behind a lot of countries. Some we are even with. And our rate is holding up well(wish it was zero). Not everything is doom and gloom.

 

You still have a Pete's glass? Cool.

 

Just went past 100k cases in the US.
