Interesting data on death counts in the US and a number of other countries, incl developed.
Compared to the OP graphed countries, how does the US compare?

Whoo hoo, high score! We're number one! No more masks on airplanes or in restaurants!Interesting data on death counts in the US and a number of other countries, incl developed.

Belgium is a tinesy bit pinker...Am I color blind or are the UK and Belgium really difficult to tell apart?
What do you think you're proving?

BA.2, where are you? Dominant strain hasn't shown signs of starting a surge | CNN
The Omicron subvariant caused as many as 3 in 4 cases of Covid-19 in the United States last week, according to the latest genomic surveillance from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention; so far, there are no signs of a looming surge in the US.www.cnn.com
Is I think what you were going for?

Your implication is that more cases are indicative of the worst. I'm saying that a higher rate of death is a worse than a higher rate of cases. Which do you think is worse? Or, please clarify yourself.
Ok, you were arguing the opposite. Just offering another view. thanks for the reply.Sorry, what now?
That would be like arguing Ebola is worse than Covid...Your implication is that more cases are indicative of the worst. I'm saying that a higher rate of death is a worse than a higher rate of cases. Which do you think is worse? Or, please clarify yourself.
A surge in cases and yet Biden feels the need to lift Title 42....Interesting data on death counts in the US and a number of other countries, incl developed.

Death counts just show how out of shape and sick Americans are. No exercise, no sun, eating fast foods, grossly overweight.Interesting data on death counts in the US and a number of other countries, incl developed.

Along with free Biden phones. To track them, of course. I guess phones are cheaper than ankle bracelets?A surge in cases and yet Biden feels the need to lift Title 42....

Case rates mean little in relation to how many die. Lots of people never go in and lots are misdiagnosed with the lousy testing. Some areas test more.Very interesting. Every single country you show in your graph has a higher case rate than the presumably less healthy US ("No exercise, no sun, eating fast foods, grossly overweight."), but not a single one has a higher death rate. How do you explain that?
OP-fail.
A lower case rate, despite having a higher death rate, weighs in favor of individual choice.
That would be like arguing Ebola is worse than Covid...
I mean, Eboka kills a vastly higher rate of people, but Covid has disrupted the planet in a way Ebola never has imagined and killed vastly more people... so which is "worse"

PS. This is not my OP.
So that, IYO, that a lower case-rate "weighs in favor of individual choice" is therefore better despite having a higher death rate?
All I'm saying is that case rates don't matter as much as death rates do in this comparison. In the graph shown, we are best in case rates. Worst, with the add'l info I gave, among the same countries in death rates. As a country, which would you rather be?
Thx for the correction.
I guess if people are so dumb they prefer to risk serious injury and death over a life-saving vaccine, more power to them.All other things being equal, I'd rather be the country in which people get to decide what risks they will take with their own health, rather than having that dictated to them by the government.
