Do you know what the EU even is?

So which EU country relies on its neighbour more than we do to the USA and which are closing their borders?  You made the claim...   did you just pull it out of your ass?

Simple, you can't determine the fatality rate until you know the rate of in infection. The reason the US fatality rate is so high is because Trump has been so slow in providing proper testing.

That's right - we won't know the fatality rate for years.

Whoa wait, why do you support Nazis, and why are you anti-semitic?  I also disagree with your position that black people are racially inferior to white people, it's sick.

It's obviously a photoshopped pic meant to bring some levity, of a helicopter flying overhead squirting Lysol hand sanitizer down to folks when it's in high demand and they can't find it in stores these days.

So go ahead and tell us now how you have concluded that relates to all the myriad forms of racism you somehow suggest. Wait now, we'll all get the popcorn.

So you don't know the answer to either of those questions.

So... China got a handle on it and eventually the cases went back down.  It took two months. 

Is that what we're going to have to do ?

This is how it had to be done:

Don’t worry...   Wilber will still blame Trudeau for something.

We'll never know because not everyone who gets it will be tested.

We'll know much more accurately when the US gets it's act together.

Why would I do that? Except for this, I haven't been critical of Trudeau on this issue.

Flu is like 0.1% fatality rate in US.

COVID-19 death rate in USA is 1.8%.  Canada is 1.03%

Italy rate is 8%. Maybe cuz of old population?  Or testing differences too?  Or people have had it longer than people in USA?

U.S. rate relates to Trump not practicing 'social distancing' with the pooch... as in testing was all but non-existent during early stages... now moving forward but still minimal in terms of actual requirements.

Tam said the other day we had tested 25,000, which would put us on par with the UK.

Worldwide death rate is now 4% as of today.  https://www.who.int/docs/default-source/coronaviruse/situation-reports/20200317-sitrep-57-covid-19.pdf?sfvrsn=a26922f2_2

Italy is what happens when a health care system is overwhelmed and not everyone can be treated. Doctors have to decide who lives and who dies. We could easily wind up in the same situation. Apparently our system has one of the.lowest numbers of ventilators per capita among developed countries.
