If my county had 20 cases and then had 20 more cases the next week, that’s a huge increase in cases. And may not result (in fact probably won’t) result in a single death. That’s the graphic you were posting. Partially because you’re a propagandist liar. Partially because you don’t usually even understand what you’re posting.

Use of insults and vulgarity in the same posts are prima facie melt, baw.
It's in the bylaws.

Give babyfeetz a break and give him the benefit of your huge brain.
Share your clear brilliance and light a candle instead of cursing the darkness is all I'm saying, baw.

Fine.
You’re wrong. As usual. Is that better for you?

He, like you, is so ideologically committed to a perspective he can’t be educated.
I made some shite predictions. I would be more embarrassed by that, but the epidemiologists haven’t done so great either.

Your mean streak is a bigger flaw than your judgement, imo.
Back to COVID - we haven't gotten into international comparisons lately, but it bears notice. This is the company we keep these days.

It’s interesting. But since there’s no uniformity in how Covid deaths are being labeled, let alone tracked, it’s little more than that.

India is definitely going to blow past us on nominal cases and deaths, no doubt. Might take a little while, but it's coming. They're running about 1/7th of us on per million stats so far, so a long way to go for them.

Anyone still holding up Europe as the paragon of COVID responses hasn't been paying attention to their numbers the last couple of weeks. Amazes me there are still some attempting to do so.

Muh beating the virus
What is beating it, anyway? Is there some game point like tennis or volleyball?

In realpolitik terms it's about protecting your population and economy and making life feel as hopeful and normal as possible under difficult circumstances. For example, places where kids are in the classroom regularly and seniors can feel relatively secure going shopping are wins these days.

Even if cases/deaths are still coming?
Feel relatively secure? Who’s responsible for how someone feels?

None of that means anything... my wife's father (in the Philippines) had a respiratory illness that matched up pretty perfectly with COVID and he came close to dying... he was never tested, no one mentioned anything about COVID to him, and no one in her family ever asked.
There are literally millions of cases (and who knows how many deaths) floating around the world in countries like the Philippines.

Governments are. Electorates re-elect governments who make them feel secure or they elect new ones they think will. Or if you don't have a working democracy, governments have to manage the discontent with repression.

Government makes people feel. Got it.

Sure. International comparisons are messy and imperfect. This data is a couple of months old now, but it gives a sense of you can do cross-comparisons of all-cause mortality, which doesn't require any diagnosis or medical care at all.

Judgements like presidential job approval and right-track/wrong-track are considerably about voter feelings and the reason we like democracy is because governments work to make us feel better. When they do it well, we reward them and when they don't, we don't.
