You could be right about the unofficial death counts in Russia and India.
Still, how do you explain that a developed nation like USA has so many covid deaths? The US leader said just a couple of days ago that USA is rounding the corner.
OTOH, somewhere I read that some of the underdeveloped countries started to inflate their covid numbers in order to obtain higher financial WHO aid.
We should raise our numbers too. With all the money we're printing, we need a bailout from WHO as well.
The relatively high numbers in the US are bad because of the disease and how we were hit originally. It is a very infectious disease. NY and NJ where I live got hit hard in the beginning. Since then the disease has spread because it infects people who meet other people. People refuse to isolate totally. That's what's happening in Europe now. Why is it happening again there if everyone's so knowledgeable about what to do to lessen its spread? I don't think there's much difference between Europe and the US except timing. Now it's Europe's turn, again.
I'd like to study China and other Asian countries to see what they're doing. That's more intriguing. Of course, with regimes where the population looks to national leadership almost religiously, it's easier to get people to comply with rules. Americans, with Europeans less so, are too damned independent. It works well for entrepreneurship and our other liberties. But it can be harmful in situations like Covid.
