Why keep arguing, NO FALL SOCCER!

I don't understand why people can't discuss anything without name calling. Each other and political figures. I don't agree with everything our President or our Governor have done, nor what another poster may comment on, and I might point that out here. But no need to name call or belittle other posters and people.

I can tell two people that the death rate is X%, and one will see that as too high, the other may see it as really low and very acceptable. The stat is the stat, how it is interpreted is based off that persons existing views. No need to disrespect people. We are better than that.
Because, for some people, when the facts don't agree with their argument they feel the need to name call and shift the argument. Sad really.
 
I just did a count of W Europe. 176k deaths. That is not by a factor of 9.

If we look at deaths in just the 5 countries you mentioned they have 147k deaths. So no they are not beating us by a factor of 9. Yes I know you are using a specific day. But since this thing has run over the course of 7 plus months now, look at the full data.

The US is actually at 331 million. So if you add in another euro country to get to about the same number lets say Belgium. Add in another 10k deaths. If you prefer a slightly smaller country use Sweden and add in 6k. Now you are in the 150k+ area.

176k deaths in Western Europe. US 195k deaths.

So no Europe didn't nail the response to the virus.

You can look up deaths and population all in one place on this site. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries
OK. If you want to use total deaths as the measure, we can do that. Using the numbers from your link above:
Total COVID deaths in Western Europe - 140,146
Total Population of Western Europe - 363,494,99
COVID deaths per million in Western Europe - 386

Total COVID deaths in USA - 197,351
Total Population of USA - 331,000,200
COVID deaths per million in USA - 596

USA has 57% more total COVID deaths per capita than Western Europe. Europe responded significantly better.

Yesterday USA had a total of 1089 deaths, while Western Europe had only 132. The gap in deaths between the two gets significantly larger daily, and each day the difference in the quality of responses between the two becomes more apparent.

Question Baller. How are the Euro's counting deaths? Whats the age of the deaths in Euro? We had huge older folks death in NY, PA, NJ and CA. I'm interested in those numbers. Any death sucks in my book and if we could all do better with how we eat and exercise, it would make a world of difference. Stay safe bro :)

they dont have rioters out there every week spreading it. The US death per 1 million population is behind The
UK Spain and Belgium and other South American countries.

Your death numbers for europe are off. Where are you getting them?
 
@wc-baller, I’m afraid you are up against an impenetrable wall of deniers. Know that old trope of three monkeys sitting side by side? One with hands over eyes, the next with hands over ears and third with hands over mouth?

that’s the wall of ignorance and bias that you’re up against.
We are truly mired in the shit due to t not coming clean.

ps. If I get tossed for a week by @Dominic, then so be it...

Where are you getting your figures for the population of western europe? Which countries are you counting in your count? I think your count is waaaay off?

I don't think you should get banned but what you should do is show the numbers that back up your statement. That's where things get dicey for you.
 
i think he's counting the ones that fit into his math equation

See below. Let me know if/where I got a number wrong or if you'd like me to add another country. Happy to adjust and recalculate.

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.
 
Thanks for the added population details. I hear Croatia is accepting US visitors. Beautiful country that’s taking the chance to build some tourism market share...

Brings w europe to 176k give or take.

Thanks. Anything else?

That makes Western Europe deaths per million - 414 vs. 596 USA deaths per million

USA deaths per million are 44% more than Western Europe.


1098 COVID deaths yesterday in the USA versus 142 COVID deaths in Western Europe.

Not arguing with any stats here but this is how everyone manages to find the stats that fit their own narratives. Less than half of these countries are actually in "Western Europe". Europe is, by most, broken up into four different geographical areas. North, South, West, East.

However, most northern Europeans don't consider themselves northern Europeans. Iceland considers itself Iceland, United Kingdom considers itself a closed unity, Ireland definitely considers itself a lone wolf and Denmark, Norway, Finland & Sweden tend to look at themselves as Scandinavian's. Greece is considered Southern Europe. It is interesting that whoever created your graph snuck in Greece but knew to leave out Italy?

So just for curiosity sake, only take the nine countries of "western Europe" and see if it changes the results. And then if you like add ALL countries of a combined Europe but one shouldn't hand select random countries and call it representative.

Which 9 countries? There are different lists for Western Europe. For example, the CIA list only has the following countries for Western Europe.
Belgium
France
Ireland
Luxembourg
Monaco
Netherlands
United Kingdom

More than willing to do a quick calculation if you give me the list, and happy to make corrections if anyone finds any mistakes on a calculation as I did with the last one. The initial list took me all of 5 minutes the first time, so no problem for me.
