Not of that matters if you prevent the virus from entering the country. If the United States had done what TAIWAN did, few if any of those people with those conditions would have been infected.


AGAIN, one death VS 92,000+ deaths. You have nothing to stand on. The only thing that explains that difference is failed government policy.

And yet Joe you ain't black attacked Trump as racist for restricting travel from China and then again when he restricted travel from Europe.

Also, the virus isn't going away. As our population has been more exposed, more people will be immune. Taiwanese on the other hand by having so few people exposed will be far more vulnerable to future flare ups. Didn't think that one through, did you?

Restricting travel from just one country is STUPID and does nothing. TAIWAN restricted travel from anywhere outside TAIWAN in January. Trump did not do that until late March.

TAIWAN is largely free of the virus and does not have to worry about it which is why they have opened up. The only place where strong restrictions are in place are when people come into TAIWAN from the outside world. Anyone arriving in TAIWAN is locked in isolation for a minimum of 14 days. They have to test negative multiple times before they are let out of isolation and allowed to move about the country.

Taiwan only has 7 deaths from covid-19. The United States has 160,000+ deaths and its rising by over 1,000 deaths a day. By this time next year, how many Americans will be dead from Covid-19? How many people in Taiwan dead from Covid-19? Which country, Taiwan or the United States did a better job of protecting their citizens from a dangerous pandemic?

1. you haven't explained why there are differences between the states
2. so you are blaming Mr Trump for the C19 deaths???!!!!???? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

The difference between the states simply involves the level of exposure to international travel and then travel within the country. Some states are well protected because of the early measures adopted by other states in shutting down. Texas, Florida, and Arizona used to brag about how well they were doing and that they did not need any more restrictions and pointed to New York, the largest entry point in the country for people visiting the United States, as a failure. Not anymore, the virus is no longer raging in New York, but it is in Florida, Arizona and Texas.

New York City never ran out of ICU and ventilator capacity. But Houston Texas did. Houston Texas was shipping patients who needed ICU beds or ventilators to Galveston Texas or Woodland Texas.

As for Trump, President Harry Truman once said, "The Buck Stops Here".

1. the fact is there ARE differences in the states = there ARE differences between Taiwan and the US
2. it's multifaceted
....stop travel and that's IT!!!!! woooooohoooooo
jesus f christ!!! U2Edge is PERFECT!! he has ALL the answers!!! he knew exactly what to do BEFORE anyone knew about C19!!!!!
...you are not perfect--you are not even a scientist/doctor/etc ---you are just babbling BECAUSE of your hate of Mr Trump

None of the differences you site explain the difference in the number of deaths between Taiwan and the United States when it comes to covid-19.

Its only the difference in Government policy when it comes to fighting the pandemic that can explain the difference in deaths and infections. TAIWAN took effective action to protect its population from the pandemic. The United States did little to nothing that was effective in protecting its population. The only reason things are not worse in the United States is because Individual citizens are protecting themselves by rarely, if ever leaving, home and obtaining any necessities by means where the transmission of the virus is minimal or non-existent.

yes they do ......

Yes. U2Edge's view that Taiwan beat it and can't be reinfected now is just bizarre

Its called a vaccine. Taiwan will have one early next year. In the meantime, TAIWAN is doing just fine without the vaccine. They have to block and restrict foreign travel, but that is essentially it.

A virus next year is by far the best case. You can't assume. And again, you know zero about virus vaccines

United States VS. Taiwan on Covid-19: May 1, 2020 TO August 1, 2020.

UNITED STATES POPULATION: 332,639,102
TAIWAN POPULATION: 23,603,049

UNITED STATES: May 1, 2020 TO August 1, 2020
COVID-19 Infections - 3,633,096
COVID -19 deaths - 92,129

TAIWAN: May 1, 2020 TO August 1, 2020
COVID-19 Infections - 45
COVID-19 deaths - 1


If the United States had been doing as well as TAIWAN over the past 3 months on a per capita basis, it would of had less than 700 infections and less than 15 deaths.


TAIWAN has for the most part returned to normal. Bars, Clubs, sporting events, churches, schools, places of work in TAIWAN are open. Mask wearing is only mandatory on public transportation. New infections when they occur are contained through Testing, Contact Tracing, Isolation of potentially infected people for 14 days. Anyone coming into the country, even citizens of Taiwan, are put into isolation for 14 days immediately. They are only allowed out after multiple tests show they are negative for the virus. On average in TAIWAN, most days see no new infections. No one has died in TAIWAN since May 11, 2020. If a new outbreak were to occur in TAIWAN, the mechanisms are in place to shut down if need be to kill the virus outbreak. Life and the economy have returned to normal without any sacrifice to public health in Taiwan. This is because of sound national government policy in the early days of the pandemic and continued monitoring and assessment of the situation.

In deep contrast to TAIWAN, the UNITED STATES is currently suffering an average of 64,000 new infections and 1,129 new deaths, EVERY DAY! The situation in the United States is worse than the March/April time period in terms of infections. Back in mid-April, new daily infections peaked in the United States at an average of 32,000 per day, half of the current average daily infection rate now. Average daily deaths were running at about double the current average rate but that seems less like an improvement given that the daily death rate in the United States has been rising consistently every day since JULY 5, 2020. There is no national strategy in the United States for containing and destroying the virus. You have 50 states that are operating independently of each other in terms of policies about what is open and mask wearing. This strategy has been a TOTAL FAILURE! The United States has the 9th highest rate of per capita infection out of the 197 countries on the planet. The United States has the 10th highest rate of per capita deaths out of the 197 countries on the planet.

CDC director acknowledges hospitals have a monetary incentive to overcount coronavirus deaths - Washington Examiner

​

“I think you’re correct in that we’ve seen this in other disease processes, too. Really, in the HIV epidemic, somebody may have a heart attack but also have HIV — the hospital would prefer the [classification] for HIV because there’s greater reimbursement,” Redfield said during a House panel hearing Friday when asked by Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer about potential “perverse incentives.”​

This is what happens when you have government involved in health care.

You left-wingers screwed this country. Hospitals have incentives to inflate covid-19 deaths, and you use that to claim our health care is bad? Shame on you trash.

You're a LIAR. This obviously isn't a standard to you

 

[U2Edge]

OK, you're not going to address the rest of my points. Got it. They blow holes in your narrative, so they are to be ignored. But to repeat, you know nothing about Asian culture that you think we could use the extreme tactics they did here. And second, speaking of tactics, they are completely vulnerable to future flareups while we're developing a base of people who are immune. Your view that they dealt with it and it isn't a threat anymore is just bizarre and ignorant. All it takes is someone new travelling in with the virus

1. Taiwan handles foreign travelers by isolating them for 14 days before they are able to transmit anything to anyone. The virus either dies during the isolation or kills the traveler. Either way, the virus does not escape isolation.

2. Taiwan can maintain its current state until they have their own vaccine ready. Once they vaccinate the population, they can start letting in foreign travel without instituting the 14 day isolation period.

OMG, there are so many things you know nothing about that it's hard to keep track of them all. Actually, so far, there is nothing you do know anything about.

1. And you seriously believe we can implement forced quarantines in the United States? You're a witless, mindless delusional. Not to mention that, but you even oppose having borders. Think about it. My God, man

2) And you know nothing about vaccines. Virus vaccines reduce the chances and severity of getting viruses, but they don't prevent you from getting them. You can still get a virus from someone who was vaccinated against them. You're less likely to, but virus vaccines aren't like say polo vaccines

If the vaccine does not prove to be effective in blocking transmission of the virus to the level TAIWAN wants, then they simply put back in the restrictions they have in place now which have effectively blocked the virus.

Taiwan has defeated and blocked the virus without the vaccine. A vaccine could help them open up foreign travel. But if it does not prove to be effective to the degree they want, they simply put the restrictions back in place.

The United States on the other hand is really dependent on a vaccine to be able to open back up and return to normal, because idiot Trumpers won't take the pandemic seriously.

The United States on the other hand is really dependent on a vaccine to be able to open back up and return to normal, because idiot Trumpers won't take the pandemic seriously.

Yeah, sure. Taiwan just won't have foreign travel and will keep shutting down its economy. That's a real solution.

Actually, as I pointed out to you, we are reducing our population who are vulnerable to the Biden virus. And we're doing it while the curve is still flat from March when this started.

Democrats changing the plan in the middle of the game was a stupid move. Actually you don't have a plan. You just pounce and attack then say elect you while you told us you would be worse

Relative to the Wuhan province in China, the United States is on an Island. An Island that is further away from China than Taiwan. Guess what Mr. Geography, you can't drive a car from the United States to China! The North American and South American Continents are separate from any other land mass on the planet effectively making it an island relative to China.

Most people arrive in Taiwan through air travel passing through an airport before they go out into the country. Most people arrive in the United States through air travel passing through an airport before they go out into the country. The United States does have land borders with Canada and Mexico, but less than 10% of the people that arrive in the United States from another country arrive by driving a car across the land border or walking across the land border. In any event, the land border can be sealed. 99% of traffic across the land borders with Mexico and Canada cross through specific areas that can be easily sealed.

Canada and Mexico are not sources of infection for the United States. Its Canada and Mexico that have to worry about the United States infecting them.

Not of that matters if you prevent the virus from entering the country. If the United States had done what TAIWAN did, few if any of those people with those conditions would have been infected.


AGAIN, one death VS 92,000+ deaths. You have nothing to stand on. The only thing that explains that difference is failed government policy.

And yet Joe you ain't black attacked Trump as racist for restricting travel from China and then again when he restricted travel from Europe.

Also, the virus isn't going away. As our population has been more exposed, more people will be immune. Taiwanese on the other hand by having so few people exposed will be far more vulnerable to future flare ups. Didn't think that one through, did you?

Restricting travel from just one country is STUPID and does nothing. TAIWAN restricted travel from anywhere outside TAIWAN in January. Trump did not do that until late March.

TAIWAN is largely free of the virus and does not have to worry about it which is why they have opened up. The only place where strong restrictions are in place are when people come into TAIWAN from the outside world. Anyone arriving in TAIWAN is locked in isolation for a minimum of 14 days. They have to test negative multiple times before they are let out of isolation and allowed to move about the country.

Taiwan only has 7 deaths from covid-19. The United States has 160,000+ deaths and its rising by over 1,000 deaths a day. By this time next year, how many Americans will be dead from Covid-19? How many people in Taiwan dead from Covid-19? Which country, Taiwan or the United States did a better job of protecting their citizens from a dangerous pandemic?

1. you haven't explained why there are differences between the states
2. so you are blaming Mr Trump for the C19 deaths???!!!!???? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

The difference between the states simply involves the level of exposure to international travel and then travel within the country. Some states are well protected because of the early measures adopted by other states in shutting down. Texas, Florida, and Arizona used to brag about how well they were doing and that they did not need any more restrictions and pointed to New York, the largest entry point in the country for people visiting the United States, as a failure. Not anymore, the virus is no longer raging in New York, but it is in Florida, Arizona and Texas.

New York City never ran out of ICU and ventilator capacity. But Houston Texas did. Houston Texas was shipping patients who needed ICU beds or ventilators to Galveston Texas or Woodland Texas.

As for Trump, President Harry Truman once said, "The Buck Stops Here".

1. the fact is there ARE differences in the states = there ARE differences between Taiwan and the US
2. it's multifaceted
....stop travel and that's IT!!!!! woooooohoooooo
jesus f christ!!! U2Edge is PERFECT!! he has ALL the answers!!! he knew exactly what to do BEFORE anyone knew about C19!!!!!
...you are not perfect--you are not even a scientist/doctor/etc ---you are just babbling BECAUSE of your hate of Mr Trump

None of the differences you site explain the difference in the number of deaths between Taiwan and the United States when it comes to covid-19.

Its only the difference in Government policy when it comes to fighting the pandemic that can explain the difference in deaths and infections. TAIWAN took effective action to protect its population from the pandemic. The United States did little to nothing that was effective in protecting its population. The only reason things are not worse in the United States is because Individual citizens are protecting themselves by rarely, if ever leaving, home and obtaining any necessities by means where the transmission of the virus is minimal or non-existent.

And fucking retard, you can't implement what Taiwan did here. You'd have a revolution. You know nothing about Asian cultures versus the United States.

And meanwhile, the Democrats you keep advocating attacked Trump for acting when he did. They told you they would have been worse.

You're a LIAR. This obviously isn't a standard to you

The United States drafted half of their workforce in the 1940s and sent them overseas to fight the Germans and Japanese. That is far more draconian than anything that TAIWAN has done to fight this virus. So don't tell me that the United States can't do it. It already has. You need to review your World War II history!

False equivalency fallacy. At least you finally admitted you don't know shit about Taiwan

 

[U2Edge]

United States VS. Taiwan on Covid-19: May 1, 2020 TO August 1, 2020.

UNITED STATES POPULATION: 332,639,102
TAIWAN POPULATION: 23,603,049

UNITED STATES: May 1, 2020 TO August 1, 2020
COVID-19 Infections - 3,633,096
COVID -19 deaths - 92,129

TAIWAN: May 1, 2020 TO August 1, 2020
COVID-19 Infections - 45
COVID-19 deaths - 1


If the United States had been doing as well as TAIWAN over the past 3 months on a per capita basis, it would of had less than 700 infections and less than 15 deaths.


TAIWAN has for the most part returned to normal. Bars, Clubs, sporting events, churches, schools, places of work in TAIWAN are open. Mask wearing is only mandatory on public transportation. New infections when they occur are contained through Testing, Contact Tracing, Isolation of potentially infected people for 14 days. Anyone coming into the country, even citizens of Taiwan, are put into isolation for 14 days immediately. They are only allowed out after multiple tests show they are negative for the virus. On average in TAIWAN, most days see no new infections. No one has died in TAIWAN since May 11, 2020. If a new outbreak were to occur in TAIWAN, the mechanisms are in place to shut down if need be to kill the virus outbreak. Life and the economy have returned to normal without any sacrifice to public health in Taiwan. This is because of sound national government policy in the early days of the pandemic and continued monitoring and assessment of the situation.

In deep contrast to TAIWAN, the UNITED STATES is currently suffering an average of 64,000 new infections and 1,129 new deaths, EVERY DAY! The situation in the United States is worse than the March/April time period in terms of infections. Back in mid-April, new daily infections peaked in the United States at an average of 32,000 per day, half of the current average daily infection rate now. Average daily deaths were running at about double the current average rate but that seems less like an improvement given that the daily death rate in the United States has been rising consistently every day since JULY 5, 2020. There is no national strategy in the United States for containing and destroying the virus. You have 50 states that are operating independently of each other in terms of policies about what is open and mask wearing. This strategy has been a TOTAL FAILURE! The United States has the 9th highest rate of per capita infection out of the 197 countries on the planet. The United States has the 10th highest rate of per capita deaths out of the 197 countries on the planet.

CDC director acknowledges hospitals have a monetary incentive to overcount coronavirus deaths - Washington Examiner

U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Robert Redfield agreed that some hospitals have a monetary incentive to overcount coronavirus deaths as they do deaths for other diseases.“I think you’re correct in that we’ve seen this in other disease processes, too. Really, in the HIV...

www.washingtonexaminer.com

​

“I think you’re correct in that we’ve seen this in other disease processes, too. Really, in the HIV epidemic, somebody may have a heart attack but also have HIV — the hospital would prefer the [classification] for HIV because there’s greater reimbursement,” Redfield said during a House panel hearing Friday when asked by Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer about potential “perverse incentives.”​

This is what happens when you have government involved in health care.

You left-wingers screwed this country. Hospitals have incentives to inflate covid-19 deaths, and you use that to claim our health care is bad? Shame on you trash.

Actually, the numbers of covid-19 deaths are an undercount. People who die in their homes from covid-19 are never tested. They don't get included in the body count. New York City in April was having 200 excess deaths at home over the same period last year. Its likely that most of those excess deaths over what was seen last year were do to covid-19. But all those deaths never got recorded.

ridiculous analogy--drafting and war

 

[U2Edge]

OK, you're not going to address the rest of my points. Got it. They blow holes in your narrative, so they are to be ignored. But to repeat, you know nothing about Asian culture that you think we could use the extreme tactics they did here. And second, speaking of tactics, they are completely vulnerable to future flareups while we're developing a base of people who are immune. Your view that they dealt with it and it isn't a threat anymore is just bizarre and ignorant. All it takes is someone new travelling in with the virus

1. Taiwan handles foreign travelers by isolating them for 14 days before they are able to transmit anything to anyone. The virus either dies during the isolation or kills the traveler. Either way, the virus does not escape isolation.

2. Taiwan can maintain its current state until they have their own vaccine ready. Once they vaccinate the population, they can start letting in foreign travel without instituting the 14 day isolation period.

OMG, there are so many things you know nothing about that it's hard to keep track of them all. Actually, so far, there is nothing you do know anything about.

1. And you seriously believe we can implement forced quarantines in the United States? You're a witless, mindless delusional. Not to mention that, but you even oppose having borders. Think about it. My God, man

2) And you know nothing about vaccines. Virus vaccines reduce the chances and severity of getting viruses, but they don't prevent you from getting them. You can still get a virus from someone who was vaccinated against them. You're less likely to, but virus vaccines aren't like say polo vaccines

If the vaccine does not prove to be effective in blocking transmission of the virus to the level TAIWAN wants, then they simply put back in the restrictions they have in place now which have effectively blocked the virus.

Taiwan has defeated and blocked the virus without the vaccine. A vaccine could help them open up foreign travel. But if it does not prove to be effective to the degree they want, they simply put the restrictions back in place.

Democrats changing the plan in the middle of the game was a stupid move. Actually you don't have a plan. You just pounce and attack then say elect you while you told us you would be worse

TAIWAN's economy is open, and foreign travel is still possible. Its just that people entering TAIWAN have to isolate for 14 days. TAIWAN's is not in a recession. The United States is.

TAIWAN is winning when it comes to its economy.
TAIWAN is winning when it comes to fighting covid-19.

The United States is losing on the economy, and losing when it comes to covid-19.


The plan is to do get where TAIWAN is, and to do that, that means the whole country has to go back into a shutdown until the daily virus transmission levels are low enough that they can be tracked and isolated through contact tracing. Its what Italy has done. ITALY was the worst place to be back in March and April. But they have reduced virus levels to only 1% of what they were in April. That's what the United States needs to do, and the path to get there is a full national shutdown of everything except essential services. Its what Italy did and it worked.

Texas, Florida, and Arizona used to brag about how well they were doing and that they did not need any more restrictions and pointed to New York, the largest entry point in the country for people visiting the United States, as a failure. Not anymore, the virus is no longer raging in New York, but it is in Florida, Arizona and Texas.

New York City never ran out of ICU and ventilator capacity. But Houston Texas did. Houston Texas was shipping patients who needed ICU beds or ventilators to Galveston Texas or Woodland Texas.

jesus f christ!!! U2Edge is PERFECT!! he has ALL the answers!!! he knew exactly what to do BEFORE anyone knew about C19!!!!!
...you are not perfect--you are not even a scientist/doctor/etc ---you are just babbling BECAUSE of your hate of Mr Trump

None of the differences you site explain the difference in the number of deaths between Taiwan and the United States when it comes to covid-19.

Its only the difference in Government policy when it comes to fighting the pandemic that can explain the difference in deaths and infections. TAIWAN took effective action to protect its population from the pandemic. The United States did little to nothing that was effective in protecting its population. The only reason things are not worse in the United States is because Individual citizens are protecting themselves by rarely, if ever leaving, home and obtaining any necessities by means where the transmission of the virus is minimal or non-existent.

And fucking retard, you can't implement what Taiwan did here. You'd have a revolution. You know nothing about Asian cultures versus the United States.

And meanwhile, the Democrats you keep advocating attacked Trump for acting when he did. They told you they would have been worse.

You're a LIAR. This obviously isn't a standard to you

The United States drafted half of their workforce in the 1940s and sent them overseas to fight the Germans and Japanese. That is far more draconian than anything that TAIWAN has done to fight this virus. So don't tell me that the United States can't do it. It already has. You need to review your World War II history!

ridiculous analogy--drafting and war

A pandemic is war. Its a war with a virus. Drafting people to go overseas to fight is more draconian than forcing them to simply stay home.

WRONG--people are not killing people

FYI, Taiwan is an island--the US is not
..you must not have graduated 4th grade geography

Relative to the Wuhan province in China, the United States is on an Island. An Island that is further away from China than Taiwan. Guess what Mr. Geography, you can't drive a car from the United States to China! The North American and South American Continents are separate from any other land mass on the planet effectively making it an island relative to China.

Most people arrive in Taiwan through air travel passing through an airport before they go out into the country. Most people arrive in the United States through air travel passing through an airport before they go out into the country. The United States does have land borders with Canada and Mexico, but less than 10% of the people that arrive in the United States from another country arrive by driving a car across the land border or walking across the land border. In any event, the land border can be sealed. 99% of traffic across the land borders with Mexico and Canada cross through specific areas that can be easily sealed.

Canada and Mexico are not sources of infection for the United States. Its Canada and Mexico that have to worry about the United States infecting them.

Not of that matters if you prevent the virus from entering the country. If the United States had done what TAIWAN did, few if any of those people with those conditions would have been infected.


AGAIN, one death VS 92,000+ deaths. You have nothing to stand on. The only thing that explains that difference is failed government policy.

And yet Joe you ain't black attacked Trump as racist for restricting travel from China and then again when he restricted travel from Europe.

Also, the virus isn't going away. As our population has been more exposed, more people will be immune. Taiwanese on the other hand by having so few people exposed will be far more vulnerable to future flare ups. Didn't think that one through, did you?

Restricting travel from just one country is STUPID and does nothing. TAIWAN restricted travel from anywhere outside TAIWAN in January. Trump did not do that until late March.

TAIWAN is largely free of the virus and does not have to worry about it which is why they have opened up. The only place where strong restrictions are in place are when people come into TAIWAN from the outside world. Anyone arriving in TAIWAN is locked in isolation for a minimum of 14 days. They have to test negative multiple times before they are let out of isolation and allowed to move about the country.

Taiwan only has 7 deaths from covid-19. The United States has 160,000+ deaths and its rising by over 1,000 deaths a day. By this time next year, how many Americans will be dead from Covid-19? How many people in Taiwan dead from Covid-19? Which country, Taiwan or the United States did a better job of protecting their citizens from a dangerous pandemic?

False equivalency fallacy. At least you finally admitted you don't know shit about Taiwan

Its the same thing, and shows you don't understand what the United States is capable of doing under the right leadership.

TAIWAN is nothing special. That just had smart leadership who enacted the correct policies to combat the pandemic while a vaccine is prepared.

TAIWAN succeeded. The United States failed. The American public will tell Trump and Republicans what they think of their response to the pandemic on November 3, 2020.

Yes. U2Edge's view that Taiwan beat it and can't be reinfected now is just bizarre

Its called a vaccine. Taiwan will have one early next year. In the meantime, TAIWAN is doing just fine without the vaccine. They have to block and restrict foreign travel, but that is essentially it.

A virus next year is by far the best case. You can't assume. And again, you know zero about virus vaccines

TAIWAN has not assumed, which is why they successfully blocked the virus from widely infecting their population UNLIKE the United States. If it takes 1, 2 or three years, TAIWAN will be fine, because they already have a system in place which has successfully protected their population!

 

[U2Edge]

United States VS. Taiwan on Covid-19: May 1, 2020 TO August 1, 2020.

UNITED STATES POPULATION: 332,639,102
TAIWAN POPULATION: 23,603,049

UNITED STATES: May 1, 2020 TO August 1, 2020
COVID-19 Infections - 3,633,096
COVID -19 deaths - 92,129

TAIWAN: May 1, 2020 TO August 1, 2020
COVID-19 Infections - 45
COVID-19 deaths - 1


If the United States had been doing as well as TAIWAN over the past 3 months on a per capita basis, it would of had less than 700 infections and less than 15 deaths.


TAIWAN has for the most part returned to normal. Bars, Clubs, sporting events, churches, schools, places of work in TAIWAN are open. Mask wearing is only mandatory on public transportation. New infections when they occur are contained through Testing, Contact Tracing, Isolation of potentially infected people for 14 days. Anyone coming into the country, even citizens of Taiwan, are put into isolation for 14 days immediately. They are only allowed out after multiple tests show they are negative for the virus. On average in TAIWAN, most days see no new infections. No one has died in TAIWAN since May 11, 2020. If a new outbreak were to occur in TAIWAN, the mechanisms are in place to shut down if need be to kill the virus outbreak. Life and the economy have returned to normal without any sacrifice to public health in Taiwan. This is because of sound national government policy in the early days of the pandemic and continued monitoring and assessment of the situation.

In deep contrast to TAIWAN, the UNITED STATES is currently suffering an average of 64,000 new infections and 1,129 new deaths, EVERY DAY! The situation in the United States is worse than the March/April time period in terms of infections. Back in mid-April, new daily infections peaked in the United States at an average of 32,000 per day, half of the current average daily infection rate now. Average daily deaths were running at about double the current average rate but that seems less like an improvement given that the daily death rate in the United States has been rising consistently every day since JULY 5, 2020. There is no national strategy in the United States for containing and destroying the virus. You have 50 states that are operating independently of each other in terms of policies about what is open and mask wearing. This strategy has been a TOTAL FAILURE! The United States has the 9th highest rate of per capita infection out of the 197 countries on the planet. The United States has the 10th highest rate of per capita deaths out of the 197 countries on the planet.

CDC director acknowledges hospitals have a monetary incentive to overcount coronavirus deaths - Washington Examiner

U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Robert Redfield agreed that some hospitals have a monetary incentive to overcount coronavirus deaths as they do deaths for other diseases.“I think you’re correct in that we’ve seen this in other disease processes, too. Really, in the HIV...

www.washingtonexaminer.com

​

“I think you’re correct in that we’ve seen this in other disease processes, too. Really, in the HIV epidemic, somebody may have a heart attack but also have HIV — the hospital would prefer the [classification] for HIV because there’s greater reimbursement,” Redfield said during a House panel hearing Friday when asked by Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer about potential “perverse incentives.”​

This is what happens when you have government involved in health care.

You left-wingers screwed this country. Hospitals have incentives to inflate covid-19 deaths, and you use that to claim our health care is bad? Shame on you trash.

At least Democrats don't laugh at the virus, pretend its just seasonal flue, and assume it will disappear in the warm weather of summer as TRUMP so often stated.
