I think what's outrageous is that the deaths per capita from COVID in that one day in US is comparable to total COVID deaths per capita in some countries.
US COVID deaths per capita ~~ytd~~ yesterday: 0.0009%
SK COVID deaths per capita: 0.001%
NZ COVID deaths per capita: 0.0005%
SG COVID deaths per capita: 0.0005%
TW COVID deaths per capita: 0.00002%

- lifeformed 6y agoAre land borders the issue in America? Canada is closed, the infections came in by plane, and exploded locally.

- spuz 6y agoCould you explain these numbers a bit more? Why is it important that they are roughly the same?
- p1mrx 6y agoDoes ytd mean something other than "year to date" here?
- jhanschoo 6y agoMy bad, I mean yesterday.
- GuB-42 6y agoI think you missed the elephant in the room. China: 0.0003% Ok, you may argue that the numbers may be fake, but is there any reason to believe that the ones for the countries you cited are any better? Anyways, even if the numbers are off, there is no denying that China is doing much better than others. Side note: I think by SK you mean Sri Lanka (LK), not Solvenia. Slovenia has a global death rate of 0.02%. Relatively good for Europe, but not particularly remarkable.
- CryptoPunk 6y agoThe same could be said about many European countries. Singling out the US seems to be motivated by a desire to affirm a particular political narrative that favors mandated subordination to the state.
