    I'm not sure what this data is supposed to prove. I suspect, it being predictive rather than objective it may be irrelevant to the situation on the ground over there in the US of A.

    Some states in hard and fast lock down probably had less COVID cases to start with, so have far fewer deaths following on and appear to be unnecessarily suppressing their economies. That though may be more an indication that their strategy is working well against the virus and in protecting the public from run away infection, rather than being a sign of incompetent management, as your posting seems to suggest.

    It seems from the comparative national figures that the unignorable conclusion must be that early lockdown, with copious testing and tracing of contacts results in low death rates. Whereas late lockdowns, no testing, no quarantine, and irresponsibe political lassitude in dealing promptly with the situation has resulted in LARGER numbers of deaths, the USA's being irrefutably by far the largest sum total. (but not necessarily by head of population yet, but given time and inaction . . . . well ! ?).

    I'll get back on the forum more soon, but I couldn't resist posting this joke I found on another forum.

    Case count is dependent on number tested.

    Partly. NSW tested 8000 for 1 positive the other day.

    Perhaps Covid is a massive killer in the US, but it is also an amazing cure for heart disease, cancer, and a host of other illnesses. Deaths from all other causes are way, way down!

    Maybe that is how the US (allegedly) has 1/4 of all Covid deaths in the world even though we only have 1/25 of the world's population. :hmm:

    The simplest and most basic truth about COVID19 pandemic is:
    The countries that moved fast have curtailed the epidemic. The countries that delayed have not.
    The people running the ones who have not are now looking for someone else to lay the blame on for that.

    Basic, fundamental, garden of Eden stuff. Adam blamed Eve, Eve blamed the snake, the snake didn't have a leg to stand on. :laugh:

    I didn't think CNN could even get their steaks well-done. :laugh:

    I located an honest health official in the State of Illinois. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CltchgolcNo
    She admitted with no qualms or hesitation that they routinely count non-Covid deaths as Covid deaths.

    How do you locate honesty in officialdom or as Pilate asked, "What is Truth"?

    Human beings are definitely inclined towards believing only what they want to be true. Liars and tricksters rely upon this universal human trait to gain advantage. There is an abundance of people therefore who are willing slaves to deception.
