Here's a great website for both general world
wide statistics and those related specifically
to the coronavirus pandemic.

That's where the comparisons of deaths per 1M population came from:

Note that we're still doing better than those countries with the spectacular
health systems, according to our resident liberal.

Nobody has actually published the number of available ventilators per
100,000 people in those socialized, rationed care countries but if it
is like MRI machines, they are way behind the curve compared to the
US.
OTOH ventilators might not really be the cash cow an MRI machine is so
who knows? Dead people are tough to collect from.

The 'why' was not the point. According to some, we are way behind those
countries with our health system. The numbers show otherwise.

I get through the day believing we will show the world how to beat
this ****. I can't live my live being scared. I have seen far more
progress since it became our problem than anything the rest of the
world came up with except hide. If you didn't look at anything but the
15 minute test you see what I mean.
