People finding faults in others is nothing new. Do these same Canadians salivate over Mr. Blackface.

All you ever do is point out "faults" in people that you disagree with who post here. That's literally your entire schtick.

Funny...because I think the same of their prime minister.

Did you know Desean Jackson, Nick Cannon and Ice Cube among others post here? And Trudeau is the leader of a smallish country which does not establish a leading role in anything of consequence on a global perspective.

I never said they didn't

But they are a lot less densely populated. I bet their numbers are similar to our canadian border states

Not just the cases, but the benefits their citizens received to ease the pressure to stay home.

A population density of 11 people/square mile is Godsend during these unsettled times.

Japan has a population density 10 times higher than the United States and their results have been much better than ours. Maybe this talking point isn't as useful as you think it is.

And Japan is the exception. They have lived through a recent pandemic and are use to wearing masks

Do you really want to debate the population density is a huge factor in a pandemic?

I don't think that is a good hill to die on

Japan is not the exception. The United States is the exception.

And I never said population density wasn't a factor, but I don't really think it's a huge factor considering the fact that humans are so mobile these days. Look at the EU, they are making the United States look incompetent and they have a higher population density.

the data is here man. Go look at the states with low populations vs the states with high population densities. It isn't hard to draw the conclusions.

There are some countries in the UN that are doing a better job...there are some that are doing a worse job than the US.

What is funny is that the performance of the US would look totally different with the same stats if Trump wasn't the POTUS...

Lets squeeze in another fact. Of the 5 largest European nations 4 of them have worse death rates than us and 3 of those 4 are significantly worse. And you are correct for I forgot to bring Luxembourg into the discussion.

Spain is 39% worse
Italy is 35% worse
England is 60% worse

Yes they did, but they don't now, they've flattened their curve and they're all reopening or moving towards reopening.
 
I don't get the comparison to other countries. Each country has a unique set of circumstances. The US is the frickin' hub of the world in terms of business and such. I'd guess we have more business travel than most other countries. But there are many factors.....average age of citizen, population density, visitors/travel, culture, government (some countries are used to being told how to live and what to do). The list goes on and on and on. Reporting is going to be different. I don't trust a lot of those Asian countries to report accurate data. At the least, there are probably differences. Some of these countries can shut down for 5 months and not be hurt economically b/c of how they operate. That isn't the US. Parts of the US.....land-wise, LARGE parts, have done just fine. Why should Wyoming or Alaska have to wear masks, b/c kids in Florida like to party on the beach? That is an over-simplification, but the point remains. Any blanket policy across the entrie 50 states would be idiotic.

We have more international airports than most continents on an individual basis. When Asians were fleeing a province it was a coin flip to come here or Angola.

You actually think we have more international airports than Europe? Europe has 853 international airports and the United States has 149. China alone has 200 international airports.
