Ty professor for doing such enlightened comparison, based on facts and logic. :rofl:

Current fatality rate of 1.26% and tied with China, Germany, and South Korea in 2 deaths per million population. I'm willing to agree we will get worse on deaths per million population because we can neither go full-lockdown like China, nor actively trace the tens to hundreds of thousands of suspected contacts like South Korea did from early on. But our healthcare is perfectly fine.


holy shit, that is some ghot level delusion right there...

not only are you on a worse trajectory than germany and south korea (i'd ignore most of what china officially reports, those numbers are extremely unreliable) for example, you are so despite some noteworthy advantages, like having more time to prepare (over a week more compared to south korea), lower population density, and lower median age.

however, your government completely bungled the initial response, was acting like this is not a big deal on national tv (while secretly selling their stock because they knew that was a lie), not even trying professional contact tracing (funny how when it comes to collecting private data, you're probably the best at that amongst the 'free' nations, but when it comes to protecting citizens, you just can't do it), and being completely unprepared for large scale testing (which is greatly exacerbated by the fact that people are afraid of the cost of that)...


but hey, your healthcare is...



... fine

Meanwhile in free French hospitals, you're experiencing three times our death rate. Dying under free healthcare is clearly superior to living with a hospital bill, right?



I believe it's NOU.


EU politics are responsible for constant cuts in the health budget in euro countries.. look italia for instance. it has nothing to do with healthcare free or not

Do you people read? Do your own math etc? Everyone's death rate was fine until their system gets over ran. The US is on a steeper curve than Italy by far.. the numbers are starting to explode.
Get back to me on you "we are fine" blah blah in 3 weeks. Save it for then... over and over people say its not what you look at now you are already 2-3 weeks behind. What does not sink in bout this.. it's people that think like you do that have lead to the future crush of our system. EVERY single country ahead of us on this is saying the same thing.

to be fair, while i agree with a massive stay at home approach, the "other countries" already have infrastructure to make that happen more effectively. paid time off, more access to working from home already set up, less manufacturing and assembly workers, state run healthcare with better testing protocols, etc.

we should be doing all we can to combat this, at the cost of money, to save lives. but it's not a plug and play operation, the US is less situated to make this work. we have far more people living paycheck to paycheck than EU peers, less state provided aid, and a government that cant get shit done even in a time of crisis. its going to be rough as hell even if we do everything right because of the way our system is.

just for you.
My favorite chapter of Atlas Shrugged is when a pandemic breaks out, and a U.S. senator is the only vote against one aid bill, and then he delays another aid bill, and then his father publishes an article saying that the virus is a hoax, and then the asymptomatic senator has himself tested for the virus, and then while awaiting the test results the senator - a doctor, no less - works out in the senate gym, and then the test comes back positive, and then Hank Reardon delivers a 17-page diatribe without paragraph breaks about how the senator is an American hero because pure naked self-interest is the only true morality and even in a pandemic it's every man for himself.

Texas Lt Governor Dan Patrick wants the elderly to sacrifice themselves and return to work to save the American economy.

Hell yeah, brother. Glad to see a Patriot doing what he can to preserve our way of life.

it's like Fukashima disaster which saw elderly volunteer to clean up radiation, except its not like that at all because the old people aren't already radiated and will die immediately instead of decades later when the leukemia hits.
