The United States has a total population of 331,000,000 and has had 4,495,014 cases of Covid 19, with 152,070 deaths. So Europe has a population 2.25 times that of the United States, but has 36% fewer total cases, and only 34% more deaths. So yes, Europe is doing FAR better than the United States.

Are you under the impression that I was a part of the decision process? Sorry to disappoint you, but I was not part of the decision process and cannot offer you any insight as to why those decisions were made.
Where I’d you get the population of the Europe is 2.25 times US?

Ok, Cuomo admits a mistake, where can he have his ass sued off?

You expect me to take you seriously when you ask where I got the population of Europe? Re-read my post again. Read it a few times if you need to. Or you can just read the portion of my post that you quoted if the original post was too complicated.

I'm not sure about pneumonia deaths/year.

I feel Iike if you're walking around healthy, and get COVID (which then results in pneumonia and you die) that's a COVID death. It seems like people are saying "see they're calling that a COVID death when it was pneumonia, so the COVID deaths are inflated"

Same with having any other pre-existing condition or comorbidity, you're living life, not 100% healthy, but you manage. Then you get COVID, it aggravates your condition or comorbidity and you die. Seems like BUT FOR COVID, you'd be alive, then that should be a COVID death, no?

Key phrase is “secondary to.”

There’s a big difference between dying from something and dying with something.

Covid is real. The issues are real. And we do need to wear masks to protect the weak for now while in ill ventilated areas so that we can keep our businesses open. Small price to pay.

This being said, people do need to acknowledge that if we’re being told that someone died “with” Covid-19 even though they fell down the stairs to their dead because their wife’s keep nagging them, because they are drunk every morning before 11 AM on 50 hour pay leaves month after month that maybe just maybe Covid wasn’t what killed them...

just trying to say it would do us all good if both sides admitted there just might be a little bit more to the equation here.

At what point do we decide to ask the weak to isolate themselves instead of everyone else being suppressed in order protect a handful of people?

Practical or philosophical question ? Are we talking about your mom or mine ?

not saying this to call you out, saying this to illustrate its not that black and white.

we better keep the country going. But we also better take care of older and weaker Americans. You tell me ?

Yes, I do expect you to take me seriously, as you’re mixing Europe population with European COVID numbers from two sources. EU population is 446 million-ish.
