The U.S. currently ranks #12 out of 200 in terms of infections per capita, far higher than any western democracy--even those that have done significantly more testing per capita. Yes, it is pretty close to the worst response in the world: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries

- perl4ever 6y agoCountries with more deaths per capita than the US, in order: Belgium, UK, Spain, Italy, Sweden, France At the rate we're going, that may change eventually, but when you compare the general discussion of, say, the US vs. Sweden, it's obvious there is an absurd amount of bias, both from the US domestic media and others.
- vertex-four 6y agoMost folks I know think Sweden totally messed up for political reasons, same as the US (but for different political reasons).
- perl4ever 6y agoI think people are too judgmental. My point is just that people are biased about the facts, not that I accept the underlying belief that a lower death rate means virtue or intelligence.
