Have you not paid attention. The government is going to just change the rules on how we count Covid 19 deaths. Now everyone who goes to the hospital will not automatically be a Covid case and the death numbers and the case numbers will miraculously drop.
I actually agree. I was not speaking as a "technical epidemiological surge" but an ongoing increase in patients. Most patients I care for in ICU have been Covid for months. I wish people would have just given it a rest over the holidays.
Well, it's nice to know the new chant is "We're below average but only a little bit worse than most!! USA!! USA!! USA!!!"
Fascinating grading curve you have there. If you throw out the huge country with competent leadership that did very well, we compare kind of middling to who's left on a cherry picked list that also conveniently excludes other countries that did a lot better than us!!! USA! USA!!False. Here is a link to the NY Times. Go educate yourself on the deaths per 100,000 in the US and countries in Europe and get back to me when you know wtf you are talking about.
Coronavirus World Map: Tracking the Global Outbreak
The virus has infected and killed millions of people around the world. See detailed maps and charts for each country.www.nytimes.com
The combined populations of the UK, Germany, France, Italy and Spain roughly equals that of the US. If you total up their Covid deaths you get 327,000. That is less than ours but that is only because the biggest country on the list, Germany, has done so much better than virtually anyone else. You will also notice that there are about as many Eastern European countries doing worse than us than are doing better.
Oh so thats what you are trying to say. Gosh but thats funny stuff. Im not sure what you think he has to do with me, but when you have to explain your jokes, youve lost your audience. Perhaps you should skip the lame attempts at humor and focus a bit more on making sense.
Does everything have to be spelled out for you liberals? It seems so. Here you go: The fact that we are in essentially the same boat as Europe dispels the idiotic and hackish notion that the Covid deaths in the US are all Trumps fault Did that sink in yet or do I need to explain it again?
I didnt throw out Germany, nor did I cherry pick. Why dont you go back and re-read from the start of the conversation rather than jumping in at the end and making a fool of yourself.
Im not frustrated. Ive dealt with mindless leftists here for years. The fact is, when you compare the US to Europe there is no significant difference.
You are projecting your perpetual anger onto me. When you liberals get suckered, you really get suckered and there is no amount of rational argument that will penetrate your skulls. See the 3 year collusion hoax as a perfect example. Hell, most of you guys still havent figured it out.
It has no traction with the left, but then again there are people on the left so out of touch with reality that they think of themselves as anti-fascist when they are the true fascists. So yeah, there are just some people you cant reach. Is that frustrating? Not really. More sad than anything else.
Europe's a big place with lots of countries, and some of them did far better than we did, and few did worse. So you are taking a lot of liberties with "essentially the same boat." Furthermore, if very large and population dense Germany is the bar for a competently-run response, we sucked.
OK, fine, I'll go with your standards that effectively say only 70,000 deaths or so are because of our inadequate response. Unless Germany is what a competent response looks like, then it's over 200k deaths. Sounds about right.
