The USA's infection rate is one of the worst. Both inside and outside of China. And the pace is picking up. Its also the world's leading economy and power.
WRONG.
Discovered Cases: 3,487
Generous Estimate of total Cases = 5000 / Population 327,000,000 = 0.00001529051
First Undocumented origin case: FEB 26
Days Since First undocumented Origin: 20
Average cases per day: 250
Average Rate of Increase: 18%
Because its Exponential growth rates, we know the initial Infection was about 15-16 people around the same time across the country, which grew at about a 10% rate for the first ten days, and about a 20% for the final ten to present day. We already know the cases are going to go up.
By comparison: italy, because trusting china is for retards:
Discovered Cases: 27,900
Generous Estimate of total Cases = 31,000/60,000,000 = 0.00051666666
First Undocumented origin case: FEB 20
Days Since First undocumented Origin: 26 days
Average cases per day: 1073
Average Rate of increase: about 35%
Likely began with around 32 undocumented/documented Cases in total.
Italy has LITERALLY 33x the infection rate, and almost DOUBLE the rate of increase.
Saying the US dwarfs the other nations, that vary from 4-5 x its population, to 1/2, 1/4 and even 1/20th the size is both an exaggeration and inaccurate. If anyone dwarfs the other nations, its China and India. That does not mean China and India "dwarf" the US. its nuanced. harder than spewing general absolute, simple terms to describe the situation. but give it a try, just dont break anything.
are you trying to justifiy your logic by using the magnitude of stars?
ok here, have some convoluted logic on par with what you just spewed out to justifiy your condemnation of the word.
The average height of a Dwarf is 4'10.
The average height of an american man is 5,10.
Therefore: 1-((4*12)+10)/((5*12)+10) = 17%
Ergo anything greater than a 17% difference in size qualifies as "Dwarfing" something.
Seriously, stop arguing semantics. its embarassing.
I think you're missing the point entirely and aren't up to speed on this debate. Too severe a tangent and I don't have the energy to steer you back on course.\
Have i?
you accused trump of not taking adequate measures to prevent the start of the infection in the USA. The fact is that he did. He however, did not anticipate the impact of EU not following suit and closing their borders as well.
