No place in the world is handling this as poorly as we have. Well.. maybe Brazil?

  What about Iran?
  • quicklime 6y ago
    The US has higher case and death counts than Iran, both in absolute terms as well as per-capita. The US also looks to be on a worse trajectory.

      Yeah, based on the self reported numbers out of Iran, which you can trust about as much as you can their state news agency on any number of topics. Let’s not forget they were simultaneously denying the virus’ prevalence while their political leaders were dropping like flies and they were digging mass graves that could be seen from space.

        With the White House issuing orders for hospitals to report directly to them instead of the CDC, I'm not sure how long we'll be able to trust the US numbers.

    Iran managed to get over a first wave, but they had to re-open prematurely because their economy is in the toilet partially due to economic sanctions.

      The same thing is experienced in Turkey without economic sanctions...
