You are mistaken. Iran reported its first confirmed case of covid19 on Feb. 20 and the US reported its first confirmed case on Jan 20 so the US has had it longer than Iran. The same is true of Italy. The reason the US is doing so much better than these other countries is that ten days after the first case was identified in the US, President Trump banned travel from China and other countries with high infection rates and to this day neither the EU nor Iran has taken such action.
AGAIN --- we have more new cases today than any country except Italy, and we're almost to their level (5786/5986). About five times as many as Iran. AGAIN, the density of infection has expanded by a factor of TEN in less than two weeks. AGAIN, 18% of Iran's resolved cases have resulted in deaths, while 64% of ours have.
All of your numbers are wrong. the US has 18, 959 confirmed cases and Iran has 19,644 confirmed cases and when you consider Iran has only 1/4 the population of the US, Iran's numbers are massively higher despite the fact that the first case of covid19 appeared in the US a month before the first case appeared in Iran. The mortality rate among confirmed cases in Iran is about 7% while the mortality rate among confirmed cases in the US is about 1.3%.
No dood --- YOUR numbers are wrong, provably so.
Iran:
8178 Cases which had an outcome:
6,745 (82%) Recovered / Discharged .............. 1,433 (18%) Deaths
=======================
US:
410 Cases which had an outcome:
147 (36%) Recovered / Discharged .............. 263 (64%) Deaths
64%, not "1.3%". You're off by a factor of FIFTY.
As we keep saying ..... OVER and OVER and OVER and OVER.... that Recovery number is fluid, needs time to establish, i.e. time for recoveries to take place. But right now it's 64% meaning that in 64% of all cases that had an outcome, that outcome was death.
And by the way we have now surpassed Iran for total cases. I'm sure your number was accurate when you posted it but that's how fast it's mounting.
