What do countries with the most COVID cases have in common? Right wing "leadership."

[Rod1]

Mexico is severely underreporting and the government even accepts it.

 

[JoeyJoeJoeJr]

Actually the USA has done a very bad job. We are number 12 (cases per capita) and going to pass both the 11 and 10 spot by tomorrow or the next couple of days. It isn't simply about where we are now but where we are going. Most of those countries' curves are going down while USA has not really shown that to happen yet. We've been plateauing for a long time.

I just don't understand why people here can't admit USA did a bad job in handling this. We objectively handled this worse than most other countries and all the numbers are proof of that.

USA should strive to be better than places like Brazil for christ sake

You also have to consider that different countries use different criteria to account for covid deaths.

The US considers any person who dies with covid as dying from covid. Even if they are asymptomatic and die from heart disease, they are listed as dying from covid. Other countries would record that death as heart disease. The same metrics are not being used across the board.

 

[cincymma79]

i would use deaths per capita, as cases per capita is going to be determined by who can afford to test non-critical civilians.

Shh
No need to state the incredibly painfully obvious truth

 

[Strategery]

Large dense populations who kiss and hug and think they are superior.

 

[Bald1]

Crowded cities have a higher rate. Who would have thought? Do you even have critical thinking ability?

True. Yet take a look at Tokyo. Nothing about this thing has answers for those wanting to simplify things for ideology's sake.

 

[Cuauhtemoc]

Putin probably isn't an idiot he just doesn't give a shit if his people die.

I don't think Russia is doing badly, they just tested a lot of people. They have only 3 thousand deaths with over 200,000 cases. A better example would be Belarus where the guy claims Coronavirus doesn't even exist.
Classifying countries by case is simply unfair at that point, look at Nigeria. They're being ravaged by the Coronavirus but they aren't testing people.

 

[Ultra O’Dia]

Nicely worded.
Why are us Canadian Sherdoggers so damned levelheaded?

What the Chinese tourism to Japan like?

Whatever it is i'm sure their leaders were not telling them to go hug a chinese or to go to their restaurants as a world pandemic was hitting.

 

[PainIsLIfe]

They're all headed by far right wing morons. Not a coincidence.

For the dumb Muricans reading this, the last two morons are Boris Johnson from the UK (what dumb Muricans call England) and Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil.

If we could just get rid of those "right wing" govts in NY, NJ, Mass., and Cook County IL, Cali, and New Orleans the US numbers wouldn't be so high.

It's a byproduct of living in the best country on the planet? Lol.

We do have a couple of Canuck loons on here though to be fair.

Fair enough, yet...

Have you ever been to a major Euro city? They're crawling with Chinese tourists. I'm not even talking about London, Rome or Paris. Even Prague and Budapest have their fair share and aren't doing that bad, nor do they have what we'd call "leftist" governments.

There are just too many variables here to use any gotchas like the TS, that magnificent moron, wants.

 

[PainIsLIfe]

Ya, if libz didn't have TDS, then the US, UK, Brazil, and Russia wouldn't be suffering far more preventable deaths than comparable countries.

The US wouldn't because democrats wouldn't have yelled about racism over stopping flights from hot zones, wouldn't have told millions to come celebrate the lunar new year in NYC, or encourage the populous to visit China Town in Cali.

 

[Seano]

Covid deaths per capita. Colored by party of governor.

Perhaps. But countries with limited exposure got less cases. Countries with high populations got more total cases. Culture plays a role too. Italians live with grandparents more often for instance.

Good news is getting it outside is hard to do and getting it from surfaces has been downgraded by the CDC too

Fair enough, again. It seems pretty clear to me that viral load is the biggest factor in the spread of this thing after all.

Viral load would be a good porn title

We'll also be revising deaths soon. This has been done with the flu in the past too so not new by any stretch.

 

[Not A Real Fan]

I got dubs for stating the fact leftist nations in europe have higher deaths per capita then right wing ones.

I get the feeling you went on a Islamophoic, racist, and/or immigrant hating rant as part of your statement.

He's an immigrant.
Islam sucks as bad as you do.

Like most leftist feelings, those are the feelings of brain dead idiots. Case in point.

 

[Not A Real Fan]

Cade in point.

Case.
