Seems schools have opened safely in countries without skyrocketing positive cases.
What the US is up against now to convince enough people to support it is seeing the surge of current cases begin to drop significantly.
We are up against a political machine that doesn’t want to elect Trump again. It is all politics at this point. Kids going back to school would be getting back to old normal. They want a new normal.

Those are CASES per million, not deaths
Qatar isn’t testing 15 year old asymptomatic patients so the can play travel baseball.
It’s apples to oranges.

Exactly. Would need same chart showing tests per million.

Bahrain is currently second in the world in testing per million, with Qatar 11th.
Bahrain has a population of ~1.6 million, and Qatar's is ~2.8 million.

Is my math correct that Louisiana averaged over 4,000 test per million last 7 days and Qatar averaged 1,600?

IDK
119,096 tests 7/1-7/7 From the Daily posted chart on
TD OT.
4.6 million people in LA, estimated roughly
25,890 tests for each million last 7 days?

per day average would be 4,300. Way more than Qatar and most countries. South Korea is doing like 200 tests per day per million.

Ahh yeah
Forgot the last step for a daily average.

So as a "country" Louisiana is testing far more than nearly all.

What jumps out about the graph isn't the presence
of Qatar and Bahrain but the complete absence of any European, Asian countries that we usually think of as similar to us in science, medicine, preparedness etc etc.
Not even England, the worst of the European countries, is there.

Well to be fair I’m sure countries like South Korea and taiwan have the capacity to test at this level but don’t currently need to simply because their outbreak is at this point well in hand. Similarly with Germany, New Zealand etc.
The UK I find more concerning

Yeah, no way Sweden is not on this list, right?

That's what I meant, every other country with that testing capacity no longer has to do it on the same level as we do because their response was more successful in getting the outbreak more under control.

How would they even know this?
If we didn’t test anyone it would look like we were under control as well. Every metric is down. The “hospitalizations“ are increasing because people in the hospital are testing positive incidentally

Considering responses have varied country to country, yet they all seem to have followed the same path, I'd say some other factors had more to do with outbreak control.

It’s not as though they’ve stopped testing altogether. The percent positive rising if persistently doing a steady number of tests might also indicate rising levels of disease.
Also, I’m not sure I buy rising hospitalizations being due only to increasing incidental diagnosis of Covid. That’s undoubtedly happening but you can’t tell me that Houston or miami for instance are filling up their ICUs with people just incidentally found to have Covid.

I just want you to know I gave you an upvote for your logical rationality before the onslaught of downvotes hits you.

As referenced in a link on this page or the last the percent positive rate may not be very reliable due to situations where negative tests don’t get reported
