  4. Ben Phillip wrong, Brazil was ruled by leftist for 16 years. Many other Latin American countries are still ruled by socialists. Also China, North Korea, Vietnam, Eastern Europe were dirt poor when communism took over, and they were supported by the poor peasant population

  12.  @AsiaMinor12  Housing crisis is only accelerating demographic decline, as young people cannot afford homes or have homes so small that there is no extra room for family and thus don't have children. In fact, its been pinned down as one of the main reasons for the demographic decline of Europe, North America and East Asia

  25.  Rielero805  because louisiana is connected to other states. People can go into Louisiana unchecked, from other states while nz is an island nation, far away from everywhere else and has strong border control. Louisiana is far more dense. Also, louisiana had its famous mardi gras festival, which attracted people from all over the country and even the world, many who came from hotspots and brought the virus to louisiana

  26. and trump knows that dense cities tend to be overwhelmingly democrat, and the virus would hit dense cities hardest, and boy was he right. In america, it is estimated that 3-4 democrats die from coronavirus for every republican

  32.  @Munz420LVN  back then the virus was predominantly in china. NZ was one of first countries to ban chinese visitors. Also the volume is nowhere as great as us/eu

  34. no one says sweden's strategy is successful. Most consider it a failure. Their neighboring countries also refused to open their borders to sweden, when they opened to other european countries, since sweden is only western european country where infections are rising rather than falling
