Plus we are a helluva more thorough and doing mtesting.
There's no telling what the actual numbers are in other countries!ore
Dr.'s are human and make mistakes as some who were diagnosed + actually tested negative. It's new, symptoms are rather common to other similar stuff (common cold, flu, etc.) and especially doing telemed screening it is gonna happen. But at least they're trying to get it right, unlike the panic causing media.

China probably had 3 million cases.

I’d say truth in reporting is a factor
Posted on 4/6/20 at 9:03 am to Riolobo
We have better testing capabilities, therefore higher numbers.

Because the virus only affects fat people

We had no geographical advantage. It was seeded in every state by travelers before it even started spreading.

Look at deaths per million people. Spain is about 250 and the USA is about 35.
Posted on 4/6/20 at 9:55 am to Riolobo
We are 7 times the size of Spain and 6 times larger than Italy.
We have about 2x the number of cases as each of them. So, it's actually much LESS worse here.
I'll go ahead and assume you didn't major in mathematics.

Maybe we really are testing and confirming a lot more cases that other countries that are testing nearly as many people. Forget the bullshite that the dems and liberals preach about our healthcare system.... it is really the best in the world. Yes, it might be expensive but it is still the best without a doubt.

per capita it isn't dummy....look at our death rate compared to other countries
we just have more horsepower to test, thats why our actual number of cases are higher

The virus is not so much worse in the US. Germany is the only western country doing better, and that is likely due to their admitted coding of deaths as it relates to covid and its comorbidities

we are testing more
No.
Tests per million population:
USA - 5,397
Spain - 7,593
Italy - 11,436
We are starting to get our act together but the CDC wasted a month. Inexcusable.
