It's not only lagging behind. The US numbers are not showing that the pendemic is under control in a lot of states. Hell, some states like Florida are not under lockdown anymore but still have an increasing number of daily cases.
In contract, all EU countries managed to control the pendemic and are now fighting against local clusters.
- ars 6y ago> is under control in a lot of states. Disagree. See: https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/new-cases-50-states https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/new-cases-50-states I see no states with a "second wave". I see states that are just starting their cases (like Florida and California and Texas), and states where it's basically over (like NY).
- xienze 6y agoWe might’ve fared better if tens of thousands of people didn’t think nonstop protesting was a great idea. You can check the graphs, the spike coincides with the start of the protests. HMM. And spare me the “everyone was wearing masks” argument. That assumes several things: 1. That every single person was wearing a mask. 2. That every single person was wearing an N95 or better mask. 3. That they all wore those masks properly (I.e., none of the failing to wear it over the nose or taking it off when you’re speaking nonsense). 4. Most importantly, that masks are perfectly effective in halting the spread of the virus.
- matthewmacleod 6y agoIf the spike corresponds with the start of the protests, this is evidence that it's unrelated – because we'd expect a substantial lag.
