    How well are EURO nations protecting their citizens?
    (among those with at least 4 million population)


    Covid death rates per million population:

    1357 Belgium*
    922  Spain*
    835  Italy*
    821  UK *
    796 <---- trump's REPUBLICAN covid-denialist regime

    754  France*
    687  Czechia*
    642  Sweden* an_light

    543  Moldova*
    541  Romania*
    527  Netherlands*
    493  Switzerland*
    443  Bulgaria*
    415  Hungary*
    408  Ireland*
    398  Portugal*
    378  Poland*
    353  Croatia*
    285  Austria*
    258  Ukraine*
    254  Russia*
    175  Germany*

    137  Denmark*
    130  Slovakia*
    118  Belarus*
      69  Finland*
      58  Norway*

    Of the 28 Euro nations with at least 4 MILLION population,
    24 of 28 are doing much better than trump's REPUBLICAN-regime.
    There are 18 other tiny nations in Europe not included, but if we did
    16 of those are performing waaaaaaaaay better than trump.

    What did you want Trump to do that Belgium, Spain, Italy and the UK didn’t do? 

    You could never answer the question in a simple manner. 

    “This is what Biden would have done that Trump did not do: 

    1. 

    2. 

    3. 

    4. 

    5.” 

    You cant answer simple questions because you don’t understand anything that you’re yapping about. You’re a cut and paste kind of guy.

    Where is the source showing “the government in Sweden is admitting they made a mistake”? 

    I’d like to take a look for myself.

    New York is like 30x the population of Vermont, bro. Vermont is isolated and extremely sparsely populated. It lacks the international tourism and commerce of, say, New York. Comparing Vermont and New York is literally like comparing Braeburn apples to Steve Jobs Apples.

    NOV 24, noon ET:

    trump regime = 796 deaths per million

    Compare trump to these responsible, competent nations...

    Japan             = 16  per million
    Taiwan           = .3  per million
    Hong Kong     = 14  per million
    S. Korea         = 10  per million
    New Zealand  =  5   per million
    Australia        = 35  per million

    *NOTE:
    There are 129 nations in the world listed with at least 4 million pop.
    122 are performing far better at protecting their citizens than trump

    You clearly didn't. If you did you would see that both Sweden's Prime Minister and their chief epidemiologist and architect of their covid response have both come out and said as much. You literally can't type S-W-E into your search engine of choice without countless stories on the subject popping up.

    The US is 7th WORST from among all nations with at least 4 million pop.
    Not 9th.

    But if one wants to make the US look even worse, fine,
    then we can inlcude all 220 nations listed -- and the US ranks 9th.

    Meaning only 8 nations are performing WORSE than the US (4 in Europe)
    but a whopping 211 nations (96%) are performing better!

    By limiting the numbers to just nations with at least as many people as
    one large US city, as I have been doing consistently for months,
    then only 94.5% of those nations are performing better.

    Maybe we should be using ALL world nations....makes trump look even WORSE!

    At a bare minimum, all these per capita stats should be adjusted for things like,effective population density and climate

    People don't live that close together in Vermont.. Hard to compare with NY State. Although obviously percapita covid is very different

    And colder place, people spend way more time indoors

Comparing Vermont and New York is literally like comparing Braeburn apples to Steve Jobs Apples.

    How many tourists have been to New York since March? I’m a west coast guy but I’m guessing not a lot
