Leaving him in the middle of the desert, libertarian style, is still an option, though. And he won't even have to pay taxes ...

yeah, the US won't take this seriously enough until the death toll hits 10K or so and 1K start dying per day.

Has Italy, to this day, received any help from other EU countries in the form of doctors, medical supplies, etc?

Hey there, Hoori, how are you? Hope you and your family are safe and sound!

What was that joke going around back in 2016 - Hey, I don't think I will like the slightly under-cooked chicken (Hillary), so let me try the meal with shards of glass in it (Trump), or something along those lines.

At least at this point in time, I'd say it is a lot more pointed at the beach-goers, nail-saloon-goers, etc of the world. There is still a whole lot of people who simply don't care and do all sorts of leisurely activities they can do perfectly well without. Even in states they ask people to stay...

Now imagine how much worse the situation really is, when you factor in that the current, barely-available tests take several days to give you a result. That means that, even if the current tests were widely available, we would still be constantly playing catch-up with the real spread of the...

To clarify my previous point - a real estimate of the spread you gain not by testing only people who are showing symptoms, but rather by testing people randomly, with or without symptoms. Once you build a large enough sample size, from there you can extrapolate and get a decent estimate of the...

Increase in the numbers is showing that testing is still catching up with the real number of infected out there. For a population the size of the US, considering the delayed response in virtually every aspect, having only 20-30K officially infected is actually worrisome as it is indicative of...

Live free or die (and kill a bunch of other people in the process).

I don't know about everywhere (South Korea, Germany could well be exceptions) but I am sure the US isn't the only place where testing procedures and/or availability of tests is inadequate. That's not what I am implying. The difference between the US and most other countries out there, however...

These "official" numbers are quite frankly irrelevant because testing in the US is inadequate any way.

The US response to the pandemic in a nutshell, you can guesstimate the future results on your own. US-relevant part starts at min 10:

One other factor that may cause a high percentage of deaths in the US in the coming months. Many people in the US have either inadequate care or no health coverage at all. This means the US population has a high %-age of people with uncured/untreated underlying conditions. This is the high-risk...

Shit here is just barely starting to hit the fan. If people in other nations lack awareness of the real threat this poses, in the US you have to additionally consider the irrationally inflated sense of self-worth and idea that rules don't apply to americans (aka freedom). And, of course, there...
