AFAIK the US isn't faring particularly worse than most European countries. Especially if you remove New York, the perception of the US as having had uniquely bad outcomes seem pretty unfounded. And if you focus on individual states, states like California responded very early and have absurdly low cases per capita.
- starpilot 6y agoYes. Seoul is South Korea, but NYC is not the USA. A full lockdown for super dense areas, but looser everywhere else.

- gumby 6y agoWith which data? This article reaches the opposite conclusion.
- ralusek 6y agoIt's not even necessary to remove New York. Without removing New York at all: US Tests Per Million is 42k. Netherlands: 17k Sweden: 20k France: 21k Finland: 28k Switzerland: 41k Germany: 42k UK: 43k Italy: 52k So the US isn't uniquely low, it's actually above average. The US Deaths Per MIllion is 287 Finland: 55 Germany: 99 Switzerland: 219 Netherlands: 336 Sweden: 380 France: 431 UK: 526 Italy: 535 Below average in that regard, too.
