[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4565892, member: 63706"] The comparison with Europe is mostly a meaningless talking point. If you want to really get into a country by country comparison, we will need to get pretty specific, and agree on what constitutes "managing just fine", "effective testing", and "effective tracing". If we are going to put things into a broader perspective, I would say that this pandemic is a smashing success compared to the Spanish Flu pandemic. In 18 moths the world wide deaths topped 50 million, with an estimate that unreported deaths could take that to 100 million. With a world population of between 1.5 and 2 billion, that was a disaster of biblical proportions. What we are dealing with doesn't even compare. [/QUOTE]
