[QUOTE="zubenelgenubi, post: 4780008, member: 63706"] No one knows that they've done better, or that their economies have been impacted least. Most of our economic impact has likely been self-inflicted based on terrible decisions, and would have been much, much worse if we had tried to follow Australia's model. Imagine comparing a system that rewards reported cases with money with a system that has pretty much imprisoned its population and destroyed many of their livelihoods in order to "contain" the virus. I, for one, can't see [I]any[/I] reason why the results might be skewed. Lol. Or perhaps, as many other Asian countries have good looking numbers, they may have had this virus circulating much earlier and we're seeing results in those countries now that we will be seeing in the rest of the world in the coming year. The fact that anyone is trying to draw conclusions from any of these statistics is completely absurd. There is zero control for any of the myriad variables that might be involved. [/QUOTE]
