  1. Jadyyn Starlight it’s because Taiwan closed borders early

  2.  @Ninjaananas  Liberal in Europe means classical liberal, not the American definition in which liberals=social democrats

  3.  @eyeofthetiger6002  We're doing great now, not so great 2 months ago. Today, we recorded 74k cases. Germany with 1/4 of our population had 29k. If we had same infection rate as Germany, we'd have 116k cases today

  4. Dictatorships are always more "efficient," than democracy because there's no political disagreements that slow things down like debate between different political parties

  5. Yes he did

  6.  @sfxanno2311  China has extremely strict restrictions including welding doors shut and starving people to prevent them going out so people who love them should move there

  7. Nah, Chinese want their kids to study 7 days a week. No gaming allowed

  8. Lucky that I'm American, and live in the land of the free, where feds don't try to grab power away from states in creating their own pandemic policies, unlike Germany, which is supposed to be a federation, but the feds their don't act like it is. Germany should speed up vaccine distribution and open up like the US

  9. Simple. People are fed up with leftist politics

  10. they won't. As long as usa and brazil exists
    3
  11. Uk can’t compete due to their much smaller population
    3
  12. not just usa all countries in the americas apart from canada, eg brazil records 40000+ cases a day with far lower testing levels. In addition to that, people from south asia, middle east should be denied
    3
  13.  @cloudpoint0  Brazil, Mexico and India are tropical countries but that didn't stop virus
    3
  14. Their zero covid strategy has not stopped cases from surging to 5000+ a day

  15. Well no, Spain ended up with hung parliament and government is undecided

  16. We have full stadiums here in America already. Nothing is happening. Just get vaccinated
    3
  17.  @adaminfinity1733  Not really. Eastern Europe has low vaccination rates and is currently the pandemic's epicenter in Europe
    2
  18. Yes they did
    2
  19. Depends by the developing country too. Some developing countries like Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Costa Rica, Cuba, Malaysia, Mongolia, China, and Cambodia have high vaccination rates and trust vaccines
    2
  20. Except Sweden is heavily vaccinated
    2
  21.  @penyokboyz  they do so in much more heavily vaccinated countries than low vaccination Indonesia
    2
  22.  @Xii371  no, that'll be new york
    2
  23. Not really. US and Brazil have good vaccination rate despite low trust in government
    2
  24.  @msr7827  yes, asians stayed home voluntarily. The streets in asian cities quickly emptied out once virus started spreading, without even official lockdown being issued(only east asian country that issued official lockdown was china)

  25. Literally overturning the will of the Romanian people
    2
  26. Well sometimes it's not true, like Canada has much lower death toll both total and per capita than US including during recent months but significantly higher vaccination rate. Japan, South Korea, Australia, New Zealand have low death toll and high vaccination rate. G7 countries, also defies trend with Japan having lowest death rate and highest vaccination rate and the US being opposite in regards to G7 countries

  27. its spiralled out of control in us and european cities including london, new york, paris, madrid and milan, to a magnitude far greater than that in hong kong. I guess those cities were too complacent and didn't take lessons from hong kong, on how they managed to control the spread to a slow rate, despite being close to china, getting it early and the city being extremely densely populated
    2
  28. Situation in Japan is still a lot better than western countries
    2
  29. Fungus too
    2
  30. Their conservative in name only
    2
  31. well the korean people basically locked themselves down without the government enforcing it
    2
  32. Marc Frey but Brazil is cheap. 100€ goes much further in Brazil than in Europe
    2
  33. not surprised. Its located in texas, a southern state. Both confederacy and guns are a huge part of southern culture
    2
  34. Peru uses excess death numbers
    2
  35. closing subways in a city like nyc, would have a huge impact. Essential workers, many of which don't have cars in nyc, won't be able to get to work. Look at what happened when cities across china closed their subway systems. Doctors and nurses struggled to get to work
    2
  36. Germany doesn’t have dictatorship like China
    2
  37.  @harmless6813  Nope, they're mostly from Germany. Content from US is in English, Germans look at German content that originates in Germany
    2
  38. Democratic Romania 1989-2024
    2
  39.  @oswaldjames6295  And not just Uttar Pradesh, also Delhi, Haryana, Rajasthan, etc. it seems like covid’s almost completely gone across the north of India, despite vaccination rates being low and in India, almost all cases are in the south, which is more vaccinated than the north. Very interesting it seems like
    2
  40.  @pirjolindqvist7819  Lots of travel and connections between Finland and Russia with Russia being a largely unvaccinated country with high infection rate just like Romania
    2
  41.  @3TT-m7j  also, westerners tend to be much older in general
    2
  42. And this outbreak of is the pandemic checkmating them
    2
  43.  @beaku3  A lot of countries with authoritarian governments actually handled it very badly like Russia, Iran, Turkey
    2
  44.  @yvonneplant9434  exactly, they should learn from us, vaccinate quicker and open up. Saves both lives and economy. Due to vaccines, we're doing better infections wise being open than locked down European countries
    2
  45.  @zjeee  And they've made it a point of why it's better than democracy and by backing down they're effectively conceding defeat to democracy
    2
  46. First time
    2
  47. Romanian democracy 1989-2024
    2
  48. Australia, Canada, France, Italy, China, etc are options as well
    2
  49. AxIIs that was China back in January actually
    2
  50. the first wave is over already in washington, louisiana, michigan. new york, florida, hawaii. alaska, new jersey, tennessee. Nocal has also seen a decline in cases, but that is offset by a surge in socal.
