The better question is the per-capita deaths in the US vs. Europe and other Universal health care countries.

Lil 'ol place called John's Hopkins.

You can make stats say anything you want, but CFR is the only number that means anything to me. Those of you using IFR numbers are just forwarding an agenda.

I presume CFR means Case Fatality Rate? What does IFR stand for?

I don't know if the CDC would have any agenda, though. I welcome your thoughts as to why they're stating death rates of 12.6 and 7.8

Even using your own source and the chart you linked, Chile, India, Argentina, South Africa, Russia, Bangladesh, Saudi Arabia and Kazakhstan all have better CFR than we do. And the chart is of the 20 worst countries. In other words, we have the 12th highest CFR of the 20 worst countries in the world. We barely beat Columbia! Yay for us! Tired of winning yet?

Don't blame me, I'm citing your own source!

So all of those "Socialist Healthcare" countries, you derided? Most did better than us. Remember how hard Italy was hit? They're not even on the list so they also did better than us, and they also have "socialist healthcare".

P.S. None of Europe is on that list (UK broke away from EU), so all of those "Socialist Healthcare" countries, you derided? They did better than us.

Your signature... "It can't happen here". Reminds me of a GREAT Rainbow tune.

Wow that's a deep cut! Thanks for sharing.

My signature actually refers to the 1935 novel by Sinclair Lewis.

Wiki'd that.

Now... that's heavy. I haven't read a novel in decades. Decades. That's one title that might cause me to break that record. Thanks!!
