Why Can't the U.S. Be More Like Europe? This Is Why

For a while, there were many success stories in Europe and life was beginning to get back to some sense of normalcy. But the coronavirus is now raging across the continent, and the WHO is warning of “alarming rates” of infection.

CNN:
“Weekly cases have now exceeded those reported when the pandemic first peaked in Europe in March,” Kluge said. “Last week, the region’s weekly tally exceeded 300,000 patients.”
More than half of European nations have reported an increase of more than 10% in new cases in the past two weeks, Kluge added. “Of those, seven countries have seen newly reported cases increase more than two-fold in the same period,” he said.
Meanwhile, U.S. rates of infection and the number of deaths are going down from a peak of 79,000 a day in July to 37,000 today. Deaths have fallen below 1,000 a day.
“In the spring and early summer we were able to see the impact of strict lockdown measures. Our efforts, our sacrifices, paid off. In June cases hit an all-time low. The September case numbers, however, should serve as a wake-up call for all of us,” he said.
“Although these numbers reflect more comprehensive testing, it also shows alarming rates of transmission across the region.”

Great Britain still has many restrictions in place and yet their infections are skyrocketing.

New restrictions were imposed across England this week barring people from meeting socially in groups of more than six, of all ages, indoors or outdoors. Scotland and Wales have also tightened their social distancing rules.
From Friday, even stricter measures will apply in the northeast of England amid a “concerning rise” in Covid-19 infection rates there, UK Health Secretary Matt Hancock announced in Parliament on Thursday.
The measures include a ban on socializing outside households or “support bubbles” and a mandated closing time of 10 p.m. for all bars, pubs, restaurants and leisure centers. They will apply to seven areas — including the cities of Newcastle, Sunderland and Durham — and will affect more than 1.5 million people.

It's hard to really get the true figures so it is impossible to make a real decision on it.

There is no doubt and plenty of proof that the figures are padded and many of those who died, died as a result of being trapped in a facility where they put people who tested positive and they spread it throughout the facility. Then there are the hospital padded figures to get money nbecause they had Covid patients. Then there are the piss poor tests. Anyone who had a cold this year or one of the standard viral i9nfections was counted as Covid. Colds and the flu disappeared with the appearance of Covid.

I don't trust any stats on the Covid virus. There are too many reasons to lie about them including trying not to make the "experts" look like fools for forcing masks on us all and destroying a booming economy. Along with the Democrats using it to get mail in voting which will probably be the biggest cluster fluck the world has ever seen.

Next year when death figures are looked at there will be surprising results. Cancer deaths will be way down. Heart disease deaths will be way down. All the major disease deaths will be way down. The reason will not be cures.
