Europe overtakes U.S. as COVID-19 hotspot as infections surge

Though deaths are a fraction of their rate earlier this year, the approach of European countries show how difficult it is to stamp out the virus entirely

buried in paragraph 9 of that article, they didn‘t adjust for population. 330M versus 450M.

also only looks at data for one day, and it includes the considerably poorer eastern part of the EU.

Just a reporter looking for the man bites dog angle.

The original suggestion of comparing population adjusted numbers between US and Western Europe makes more sense. Baller’s list of countries is the correct one. Add Andorra if you insist on nit picking.

It neglects on both the European and US end the most boneheaded policy of them all: the policy that forced COVID positive residents into nursing homes. You exclude that the US look a lot better. There is 1 policy which is the driver (both here and in Sweden) of the high numbers. If you want to argue why and whose responsible, we can take that up in the off topic forum.
 
“So far, the new upturn in infections has not resulted in a surge in deaths, which are at a small fraction of the levels in March and April, when the pandemic tore through Europe’s nursing homes. Many of the new patients are younger and healthier, testing has expanded vastly—turning up asymptomatic infections that previously went undetected—and treatment has improved.”

Good luck to our friends on West Coast today! Have fun and stay safe in AZ.
Last night UT played Kansas. It was great to watch some college soccer again.
I guess we can stop arguing, Fall soccer has begun.

How do you know which person I am talking about? Definition of idiot = a stupid person. It seems to me I have read numerous people using the word "stupid"!

You're probably right that it's useless to try to make a fact based argument with those types. That ignorance is the reason us Americans are unwelcome in 95% of the world as of now, and I don't blame those other countries for banning us.

Oh those ugly americans, screwing it up for everyone. Don't worry, we're still in their contact lists on their iphones for when they need to get bailed out something, just the way it works.

Easy Karen? Ummmm I’m the one hiding from the Karen’s, LOL. He said no politics, and that statement was a political statement, therefore he should be banned if there was fairness.

I am sure I can find something on all of your posts that could be viewed as a political statement by someone else. Maybe you should be banned too

Exhibit A of the phrase, “A hit dog will holler.” Sorry to have touched a nerve.

So NFL players referees and coaches can play football with no masks and kids can’t play soccer? In California?

yes. They can afford to test multiple times per week. We can’t.

They entertain millions. We don’t.

Read Kante’s article on overall risk of soccer. It’s a good study. Basically, if one person in a high level soccer game has covid, the other 21 players get exposed for an average of 90 seconds. (Not all equally. Most get less, the ones guarding him get more.). But a total of about 30 minutes of exposure, spread over 21 people.

And starting next week AMC , per CA guidelines , are opening up their theaters in Orange county so kids who still aren't allowed to play outdoor

soccer games can instead spend two hours watching a movie indoors while staying motionless except for eating junk food and candy and drinking ice

cold sodas . Hmmm , mental stimulation , some healthy nutrition and a little exercise chowing down , what's not to like .
