  1. Western USA. Driest conditions in 1200 years. 4 historic heatwaves since June 1st. That’s what I’ve heard

  2.  @clementchan496  western countries didn't
    2
  3. they do, since they can't keep their borders shut forever
    2
  4. If there was any group of people that deserve to be in Chinese Reeducation camps, its Taliban
    2
  5. America still had 25 more medals
    2
  6. @Sarah Wong By that logic, we should combine US and Puerto Rico since Puerto Rico is officially part of the US
    2
  7.  @Anonymous------  In 2008, they had 12 less. Now they have 1 more. Now who's improving. If you add Hong Kong to China, then China would have same as USA. But by that logic, you have to add Puerto Rico(US territory) to USA and you still end up with 1 more than China+Hong Kong

  8. Lack of space(too crowded), lack of money(too expensive) and lack of time(long work hours) all contribute to low birth rate
    2
  9.  Chrome Vaper  Yep, that's what lockdowns did. It forced all the "pleb" businesses to close while the ones owned by elite were all allowed to open

  10.  @kimduong2332  Well now first hsr equipped country in south east Asia will be Indonesia
    2
  11. @Angel Jose Mendoza beijing is in the north
    2
  12. Well it's due to increased tensions with China, Russia and North Korea which are all near Japan. Remember the fact that Japan has hostile neighbours on their doorstep
    2
  13. Yeah, Siberia has 2 types of people-the natives, who are Asian and the ethnic Russians who migrated from European Russia
    2
  14. Plot twist. Afghan president is Taliban imposter
    2
  15. Europe, Russia, South Korea, Taiwan, shrinking as well
    2
  16. Mainland China too
    2
  17. You’re not welcome in any country now. No country wants foreigners bringing virus into their country
    2
  18. nz is isolated and is sparsely populated. Hong kong, meanwhile is an international hub and is very densely populated. Hong kong still controlled it better than nz
    2
  19.  @BSnicks  However hills and mountains increase risk of flash floods and landslide
    2
  20. hong kong's doesn't need it. Just look at nyc with javits center and london with nhs nightingale. Hong kong's 3rd wave outbreak is tiny compared to nyc and london during their peaks, and both cities barely used their makeshift hospitals
    2
  21. USA 140,000+ daily cases. 100% open in vast majority of country. America is heavily vaccinated. That means vast majority of cases are mild
    2
  22. Also has do with the fact that Ukraine previously decided to elect pro-western politicians
    2
  23. They barely have international flights
    2
  24. Other countries have way less vaccines
    2
  25.  @MarkzOng  No, not due to second amendment, due to too many criminals in the US. Criminals don't get their guns legally
    2
  26. Kuroda Yuto Hong Kong is an international city. Most of its new cases are also imported, rather than through community spread
    2
  27.  @ehwhat9034  i guess in pe, students have to keep a certain distance apart from each other at all times. Also, activities involving shared objects are banned
    2
  28.  Holly MacMillan  2019 election *hold my beer

  29. that's what happens to a first world city state with a 3rd world country right next door
    2
  30. UK
    2
  31. Labor costs much cheaper in Indonesia
    2
  32. Other countries are less vaccinated than America, but since America is a global leader, it may result in domino effect and other countries could as well follow suit and allow vaccinated to stop wearing masks. Just like how when CDC started recommending masks, a domino effect of countries around world imposed mask mandates in their own countries
    2
  33. Germany has one of oldest populations of any country
    2
  34. usa did lock down. The virus just surged when restrictions began to ease
    2
  35. Well problem is, they make it very hard to immigrate
    2
  36.  @davedave3520  Yes it does lol. Its summer and its so hot behind the mask. Plus CDC said its safe for vaccinated not to wear masks
    2
  37.  @peanut7260  Vaccines are more than 90% effective, at least Pfizer(what I got) and Moderna. America doesn't have many cases now and vast majority(over 90%) are unvaccinated
    2
  38.  @GeorgeMartinus  Hong Kong population is only 1/7 that of South Korea. You have to take this into account and use per capita numbers not overall numbers
    2
  39. china eliminated the virus, no need for social distancing anymore
    2
  40. firstly, japan barely tests. Secondly, shibuya crossing is very quiet now
    2
  41. They’re still 1 step behind the west
    2
  42. Doesn’t help that the birth rates in both city states are extremely low so population growth is almost entirely dependent on immigration
    2
  43. Communist urban planning that’s why
    2
  44. Except if this was Brazil, that driver probably would've not lived
    1
  45. they added 1300 deaths yesterday following international pressure. Thats only the tip of the iceberg. China is hiding their numbers
    1
  46. Nah, USA
    1
  47.  @sko1beer  Most of athletics medals haven't been won yet and USA is way better than China at athletics
    1
  48.  @yunko9369  It's due to Hong Kong's mandatory hospitalization for anyone who tests positive that resulted in hospitals getting overwhelmed
    1
  49.  @willis8744  they probably making like ¥7.25
    1
  50. wuhan has over 50k cases, and thats most likely an undercount
