I was just looking into our (MS) testing stats bc I hear we're leading the country in posi %, and I noticed this...

Now this was just clicking random dates, so I'm not sure how many days like this there are. Think 3655 positives in 3655 total tests can skew positive %?

We aren't doing well, but it's probably fair to compare deaths per million for the countries mentioned...
US: 480
Spain: 609
Germany: 110
France: 464
Australia: 9
Japan: 8
Germany is doing much better than us and their European counterparts. I think you could say us, Spain, and France are sorta all right there together. Australia and Japan appear to just be getting hit with the virus. If they keep their number below 100 in a few months, outstanding.

Overall, we're definitely doing better than we were in April. Luckily, we learned a lot about how to treat the virus. But we're still lagging behind other countries that are currently seeing a spike.
Wow. How bad of a candidate was HRC that this guy beat her?

The data is so hard to unpack right now. Raw numbers don't tell a fraction of the story of how the outbreak is being handled. What are the ages of the population? How much spread has been experienced in the oldest demographics? What is the prevalence of underlying health conditions in the population? Are certain ethnicities more at risk? What's the prevalence in a population of a prior exposure to a similar virus allowing for a better immune response? What's the population density and public transit use?
I could go on at length. While I certainly don't think our Covid response has been model, as you note, raw numbers don't tell us much.

HUGE: Trump donated 2 million doses of hydroxychloroquine to Brazil. Since the pills arrived in May, they have gone mostly untouched. Vast quantities are still sitting in storage. One former health minister says they may eventually have to be destroyed.
so was it grifting, incompetence, or both?
both would be at the most astounding levels, of course.

Would love for the press to keep asking which books. There actually was a manual for how the Government works given to each incoming administration. Reports are the Trump adminstration never even looked at it.
define "mask complying."
new jersey mandates everyone wears a mask in public...but many people still don't, and certain people/businesses are eager to buck it to stop "tYrAnNy"!!!!
obtuse is legitimately your natural state.

Dude. All I gotta say at this point is God bless your heart. If you think Hawaii and Japan show masks dont work I have no answer.
