Comparing us, at 106/1M, to some of those countries with the 'superb' medical systems make ours look pretty good. Trump did the right thing, and seems to be continuing.

New York will be a good test of the population density thing. Those people in Manhattan have less than 400 square feet each to live their whole lives. (based on pop density) My garage is bigger than that. I think Luddite shot some of that out of the water. We have just as high a density in our population centers as those countries do. Not if you take the US as a whole ... by a long shot. I agree the density of Europe is like the I95 or I5 corridor but as soon as
you turn inward the density falls off fast. Even so except for Norway Finland and Denmark most of europe is dark orange or red on this map https://www.census.gov/dmd/www/pdf/512popdn.pdf You are a math whiz. A Sq/mi is ~2.6 sq/km https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_and_population_of_European_countries I said 'in our population centers'! Jeees. -- Freedom Isn't Free! This thread has become confused. The comment I made earlier had nothing to do with population density. It had to do with one of Harry's assertions that the corvid-19 virus established itself in countries in Europe *before* it was first confirmed in the USA. He was trying to make the case that *that* is the reason for their higher death rate per million population. I presented dates of the first confirmed cases for several countries including those that Harry routinely likes to compare their
superior health care systems to that of the USA. Bottom line ... the Corvid-19 virus was confirmed in the USA weeks or in one case at least a month before it was confirmed in his favorite countries in Europe. Unfortunately the first cases in Washington State were in a nursing home where the death rate was staggering but not unusual for a nursing home. Those people don't expect to come out of there alive in the first place. Seeing the charts where most of the cases are in the elderly, does not seem correct. I think the disease should be more evenly distributed. Therefore there has to be a lot of undiagnosed cases. They will be mild, so the younger are thinking it is something else and not getting checked. You are correct...there are lots of undiagnosed cases.So what? Is that Trump's fault? The undiagnosed cases should have the samedistribution as the diagnosed cases.--Freedom Isn't Free!

What we need is a prominent democrat to get in there and level the
playing field. Ya, thats the ticket. :-)


Amen.
