The numbers are hardly comparable because the virus started earlier in Europe.
No doubt that some countries here messed up big time, though.
The numbers are hardly comparable because the virus started earlier in Europe.Let's try to compare apples to apples:
U.S., population 325 million:
493,567 confirmed cases, 18,544 deaths.
Europe, population 750 million:
817,679 confirmed cases, 66,367 deaths.
Interesting, isn't it? The case count is not that far apart, but deaths in Europe are almost four times the deaths in the U.S. Of course, infections due to lack of testing are subject to serious under-counts, and on both sides of the Atlantic. Europe's numbers probably should be around four times the U.S. counts: 2 million.
In all likelihood, and with the Imperial College in London estimating a ten percent infection rate in Italy, their case count alone is probably 6 million. Or rather, it was when they published their study at the end of March. As of now, that number probably more than doubled.
That is to say, taking any - ANY - figures at face value right now, when we all know next to nothing, and before we have vast numbers of anti-body tests, is a fool's errand.
Finally, whoever thinks a quote from Sputnik News is a valid way to underpin an argument is about as retarded as one who would think a quote from gatewaypundit does.
No doubt that some countries here messed up big time, though.
Your numbers are wrong. The first confirmed cases are Jan 21 for Europe and Jan 15 for USA. But they don´t mean much because a single infection is not an actual outbreak.The numbers are hardly comparable because the virus started earlier in Europe.
No doubt that some countries here messed up big time, though.
If the numbers aren't comparable, why do you compare them?
First confirmed case:
Europe: Jan 27
U.S.: .... Jan 21
First death:
Europe: Feb 15
U.S.: .... Feb 29
So, where exactly did that plague start earlier? Plainly, we do not know, since "confirmed cases" do not equal "cases". It serves to bear that in mind whenever we hear "cases". Or time-lines, for that matter.

No, but the state has more cases compared to other areas that are labeled countries.New York is a country?
Can't NYC fall into the ocean like CA sposed to?
