The threads full of my thoughts on the subject.
I'm only advocating against the silly posturing he's attempting in floating absolute numbers without context to argue about politics.
Yes, but comparing the per capita ratio of the entire US to densely populated affected areas in Europe or Asia is also an incredibly flawed metric. The only comparable city in the US to large European or Asian cities in terms of density is New York, and look how that is working out.
You could take the 10 lowest populated states in the US and collectively they only have the population of Seoul but take up basically all of Europe in area. It's the spread in the big cities that tells us the story of whether containment efforts are working or not.
