it's like most things in life....humans can only accurately quantify things if they are certain they have ALL the data...and that nearly never is the case. Either way, I'm sick of this dumb pandemic. I need to go out and get sushi at my favorite restaurant, but I can't. Hell, I'd even settle for fast food. I cook great food (made a Bolognese sauce the other day, a corned beef brisket the next), but I have a major craving for sushi and a greasy burger and fries. Sure, I could get takeout, but I simply don't trust that those working at these places care about the pandemic...

hey guys it's perfectly fine that we've got more deaths than a country smaller than us that we claim we're better than

We don't even know who's actually dying of the disease or how many actually have it. The numbers mean nothing if they can't be trusted.

ahh true. with the amount of tests we're unable to do, we could have even more people with it

Now take a look at what the Italians' deaths per million was when their curve had the same gradient as ours now. (You passed math, so you should know what that means.)

Considering that ours is nearing, at, or beyond its peak and spread out more, it's going to be lower and lower as we move along. Italy is a completely different country, in makeup, density, and health care policy. The two aren't alike and shouldn't be compared at all. Same with other countries. The US would be better off being compared to the EU since it's an open border unification of nations that are little bigger than mosts states. But those numbers would be horrific too. Deaths per million and show how well each country is dealing with this. Even those numbers are skewed with falsified data on who is actually dying because of the virus, or just with it and dying of something else.

Lol - how would anyone know we are at or near the peak?

OK, so you're shit at maths. We are clearly NOWHERE NEAR the peak rate. In fact, what you've done, without realizing it, is posted the mathematical evidence that says that our nightmare has just begun - our curve is just at the beginning.

Wow. I never realized that antithesis was at epidemic Command Center with all the latest data.
Actually, you have no idea what is going on and you pull stuff out of your ass constantly.
But your white hot, rabid bias against Trump would explain why you want the crisis to continue.

Yeah, but he does it with such gusto! lol

I'm using the chart in the OP. That's what we're discussing. Keep up.

Wow. What a precise method of reckoning, a meme of unknown origin.
You're a joke. Give up.

lol @ [deleted]

This dude whoever he is either keeps self-deleting his account or banned for some reason every single damn day

Not the most trustworthy dude folks

And yeah [deleted]'s logic is totally faulty: "a meme of unknown origin" -- LOL yeah dude whine at OP over that then not antithesis

We can project trends. Yes, our peak of deaths hasn't been achieved...but neither has no one else's. We do have projections, and they tell us essentially the same story.

Antithesis is afraid the death love won’t be bad enough to use as a Biden campaign talking point. So he’s painting the bleak picture now, just in case.

*death tole

I like "death love" better. Lol

*death toll*

YES

WTF, where did "love" come from there?

Granted: China's figures are probably inaccurate.

But so are ours, dude: So are ours.

Yes...I already mentioned that.

Right, because our government has the ability to shut up all our doctors, hospitals, reporting agencies, etc the same way china's does. When your story falls apart, just accuse people with no real power over the statistics being released of lying. If there's any inaccuracies in our numbers it's on the side of the estimates being much too high due to the way they've counted deaths in infected people whether the virus was the cause or not.

....WOW did you miss the point. The USA's figures are inaccurate because we just straight up did not try to find out through testing, Trump just sort of crossed his fingers and tapped his heals together three times.

We've done more testing than any other country in the world by a HUGE margin

Not per capita, we haven't. And that's what matters.

Not the most per capita, but we aren't doing badly either.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ahhhhh no. No, not at all.

Yes.
