Places with highest daily reported cases per capita
Seven-day average of daily new reported cases per 100,000 residents
Still cheering for may adopted home of Guam. We’re number one! We’re number one!
Been examining all this elsewhere.
Critical question . . . why are there countries with similar or inferior healthcare posting far lower deaths/million population.
US is about 2700 dead/million
Taiwan is one of the most densely populated places on earth and they are tiny deaths/million.
Egypt is notoriously filthy. Also tiny deaths/million.
Israel is 1000 deaths/million
China is either lying or needs nuking
Australia 170 dead/million, equivalent healthcare, maybe simply spread out, the NYC approach, just stay out of town.
S Korea 176, reputation for hyper aggressive contact tracing and forced quarantine of contacts of cases
Thailand 319ish Dense population
Cuba 747
All these places had similar policies to the US, but fewer die. Something is being done wrong
This is an IQ TEST with the results shown in PUBLIC. Anyone who takes these numbers at face value has a LOW IQ.
Why do some want to embarrass themselves?
Before covid, the life expectancy in Egypt was around 71. So people died before covid had a chance to take them out.
I bet if you take a look at nations with the life expectancy of around 70 or less, the impact is much less.
yup, good call. But Taiwan etc
Ah, the "official" data from the 'blessed' Worldometer site each day telling its readers something. But what exactly?
Something unexpected, when one looks at the basic "data."
As of 10 February 2022 ---
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/
USA, first on 'blessed' Worldometer's "official" report of deaths, with 333,928,328 population, is among the WORST in the world with a reported 912,255 Covid deaths in two years.
This one conclusion to be made is that the US technocrats leading the pandemic response are AMONG THE WORST WORLDWIDE. By that, Fauci, Collins, Walensky, the NIH, the CDC, the FDA and the many bureaucrats doing their bidding.
Additionally, from the 'trustworthy' and utterly 'believable' wordlometers' data: ( 912,255 / 333,928,328 ) x 100 = 0.273 % US mortality rate over two years.
Over three and a half times the global mortality rate, under the pandemic leadership of Fauci, the NIH, CDC and FDA. Even so....
Methodology most simple -- deaths within a population divided by the population. In this case, Worldometers' deaths divided by worldometers' population statistics.
Given a 0.273 mortality rate over more than two years, the survivability rate for Americans and Covid is (100% - 0.273 % ) 99.727 percent nationwide.
That's what the "official" data says. Over two years and counting. If one were to make this reporting on a "yearly" basis rather than twenty-five months to date, that absolute mortality rate would be less. Hmm. Data.
Trust the site. Trust the data. Or....
Trust the site? Trust the data?
The same people who scream about vastly inflated numbers from CDC then turn around and twist Israel’s data to look even worse to somehow argue the vaccines are increasing fatalities, when in fact Israel is very highly vaccinated and has very low adjusted-for-population fatalities compared to ours.
Moreover, I don’t know anyone actually in the trenches (hospitals, etc.) treating serious or worse COVID cases who thinks their local COVID data is significantly inflated. And I know of no case where a locality or state has accused CDC of puffing up the data. I guess they are all in on the conspiracy...
Now, that said, I would not quite characterize the Russians as “dropping like flies”. But, nor would I dismiss their fatalities, either... I’ll bet if he thought he’d suffer sustained / total casualties of similar magnitude by invading Ukraine, Putin would back off in a hurry. And, he’s no softie.
Taiwan also very tight monitoring, etc., plus very high mitigation by populace.* Possible genetic predisposition and far fewer co-morbidities.
*Effectiveness of mitigation may be breaking down somewhat with Omicron, as in other Asian countries. Too soon to tell on fatalities, but, lower viral exposure levels in general may help a lot (infected, but less infected = less chance of serious case.)
Egypt hot and dry, young.
Israeli populace mitigates much better than we do. Plus is highly vaccinated, which still helps some, and helped a LOT during Delta.
Aussies much more locked down and compliant.
I do not rule out benefits of early / preventive treatments.
Etc.
Superficial similarities in policy may in fact not reflect at all the actual situation on the ground and behavior / characteristics of the population. Even at it’s height, mitigation by people in stores, etc., in the US, was iffy. Hideous, incompetent educational effort by CDC, most media, etc.
Clarification, my above post — “may still help a lot”
I grabbed only a handful of countries that suggested to me they should be much more vulnerable than they have proven to be. I could keep grabbing.
But overall it’s too obvious a question. CDC has to have staff obsessing over the question. And NHS in England.
I dismiss mitigation on Taiwan. Population density would overwhelm nearly anything that might be done.
Asia has overall been very lightly touched by the virus from day 1. Japan deaths/million are tiny. That’s another density issue. I don’t care if everyone is in a mask, when you have police pushing people to pack them into trains, you are going to get infections . . . but it just hasn’t happened.
What you are missing though, is that up until now, Taiwan never had enough cases (and does / did have very tight monitoring) to where virion levels, say, in a bunch of those trains, would get away from them. Sure, a few outbreaks occurred, but, they caught them and squelched them.
I suspect that in the case of moderately high infectivity and moderate population mobility, high population density may actually make tracking & containment easier.
Omicron may of course blow that up.
HERE, obviously we never had a chance at containment.
One thing is interesting though. At least prior to Omicron, high population density even in countries with poor tracking (etc.) has not been a consistently noteworthy COVID accelerant. Hmmm......
Someone at CDC has to be assigned to this. Surprised there has been no report.
They were right next door to the CCP so they knew what was up in China when the Wuhan flu was going on. Plus it was easy for Taiwan to control their borders and they were able to shut down their international flights really quick.
President Trump did shut down all flights from China. But that was too late. And it didn't matter if flights were still coming in elsewhere (especially Europe where they were still flying in from China).
