  1. As if Greece’s demographics aren’t already bad enough
    62
  2. Also proves that Spain is very politically different than Italy despite plenty of cultural similarities
    39
  3. Skyrocketing in mostly boosted Israel
    33
  4. Also examples of male leaders that have handled it well are South Korea and Australia, as well as Austria, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Israel, Vietnam Examples of female leader handling it badly would be Belgium, with the highest per capita death toll

  5. exactly, since this virus can spread asymptomatically and you could unknowingly carry the virus, I believe that making masks mandatory, like they did in china, is likely going to slow transmission
    25
  6. A lot are probably desperate people who lost everything in the quake
    25
  7. they should've done this in february. Far too late
    21
  8. Its because Germany and Japan have very old populations and those in charge of the 2 countries tend to be the elderly who are more used to fax machines than modern technology
    16
  9. I support BLM but this shooting was justified since suspect tried to stab cops with knife
    15
  10. he even signed up for his experiment himself, and ended up almost dying

  11. yes, thats why the locals are so vigilant about covid-19. SARS in 2003, spread extremely rapidly in hong kong during the winter and spring of 2003, killing 299 hong kongers. Hong kong was the among world's worst hit cities along with beijing, guangzhou, taipei, singapore, hanoi and toronto

  12. Will the COVID-19 pandemic end in 2023? China: Hold my bat soup

  13. South America is a lot less vaccinated than Europe that’s why
    7
  14.  @davedave3520  Sweden is better at tracking than Philippines. Also Sweden has much older population
    7
  15.  @jahd5790  Japan is actually in great situation now with cases being very low and vaccination rates being very high
    7
  16. Ignoring 20% of electorate is never a good strategy
    6
  17. Outdoor masking isn't effective as virus rarely spreads outside. Western countries looked at data and stopped requiring people wear masks outside
    6
  18. Queen Elsa Russia has become one of world’s hotspots. Putin has bungled his response. Russians should turn against him
    6
  19. It remained non-politicized because of the lack of restrictions. Politicization is created by introduction of restrictions and of course there would be some backlash by sectors of the population, eg those who lost their jobs and/or business from lockdowns and some politicians would capitalize on that creating politicization. Not the case in Sweden
    6
  20. lockdown won't last for 2 years. The infected people will either recover or die, and since everyone's apart, there is no one to spread it to. Thats how china beat the virus in 3 months. Strict lockdown, no contact with anyone outside household
    6
  21. why coronavirus is spiking in hot places like india, pakistan, middle east and the usa sun belt. All very hot places were people spend time under ac. When there's ac, viral particles gets blown across entire room infecting tons of people
    6
  22. No, that’s Peru actually
    5
  23.  @bonnie7898  Almost no one in Sweden currently wears masks. Cases are lowest in Europe
    5
  24. Both countries have very old populations meaning that older people who are more used to old technology tend to be in charge
    5
  25. One of the leaders of the developing world. Thanks Bolsonaro

  26.  @LaryiD still the people voted for him and the court overturned election just because they didn’t like the results
    5
  27.  @ElectroIite  Brazil also has hot climate, which slows down spread. Look at North America and Europe. Massive winter spike when weather is freezing cold. Hot climate countries tend to have flatter pattern compared to massive spikes and dips in cold climate countries, likely due to much smaller temperature differences year round

  28. If Brits were dying at rate of Romanians, 1400 would be dying daily. Vaccines do work and high vaccination rate in UK definitely helps
    4
  29. restrictions on bars and clubs, and other mass gatherings. Bars and clubs were ordered to close and only allowed to reopen recently
    4
  30. What about America. We're way more open than any European country and we're doing fine
    4
  31.  @michaellitten4538  Yeah, exactly, Germany should be like us, open up, and ramp up vaccinations, saves lives and the economy
    4
  32.  @lule642  And the 1/3 vaccinated tend to be over 80 years old with weak immune system
    4
  33.  @cloudpoint0  Brazil is tropical country too
    4
  34.  @xavierzacheriah6038  India and Africa are way less visited, have hot climate and young population. Plus they test way less and catch much smaller proportion of infections than western countries
    4
  35. Ontario is not so normal with masks and vaccine passports. Much more normal in the southern US than Ontario. Ontario is less normal than even our blue states
    4
  36. Well I’m lucky that I’m American and we ain’t going along with this lockdown bs anymore
    4
  37. Well Erdogan seems like he wants to tie Turkey closer to Russia
    3
  38. Vaccination rates leading developing nations and plummeting infections. Thanks Bolsonaro
    3
  39. USA is much better at testing and tracking cases and deaths than India

  40. many may be temporary phones for their jobs. A lot of people lost their jobs. Also, landline is on the decline, and a lot of users cancel their landline services, as the don't need them anymore, but I bet covid-19 deaths in china are still higher than the official number of 3200
    3
  41. No, because people are sick of being locked up inside their apartments, there were food shortages during lockdowns, and many lost their jobs
    3
  42. also, there were reports that some reservations were made by democrats to troll trump
    3
  43. Lukas Loh it’s really a strong contrast in Latin America. Brazil and Mexico are ignoring it, except for some states and cities, while other countries in the region like El Salvador, Colombia, Bolivia and Argentina have some of the most draconian lockdowns in place
    3
  44. Yes we did, in April last year
    3
  45.  @demonorse  You must've been an essential worker
    3
  46.  @somethinglikethat2176  Also many airlines are facing delays in new aircraft deliveries. Once the new aircraft starts getting delivered, A380 is gonna be less use
    3
  47. So only reasonable policy is welding doors shut and letting people starve
    3
  48. You can live in Sweden, UK or most parts of USA without vaccine passport and with similar standard of living as Germany
    3
  49. And don’t forget that Russia has very low vaccination rate. Melbourne has very high vaccination rate
    3
  50. just like his british cousin boris, who only took strict measures, and took it seriously after he was infected himself
