Math. It’s hard, right?
Extremely. Please explain how population density impacts death rate.
Anything not to talk about how other countries have managed to handle this. Puts a big dent in the “all we can do is hope” narrative.

Common sense. How does one social distance if you can’t go six feet without bumping into someone? I mean we could go with actual facts too, but we already know how those fare here.
That would explain new case rate, not death rate. Please explain how population density impacts death rate.
You saying they don’t correlate? Weird, I thought you had to catch COVID before you could die from it. Boy you showed me I guess. 
It’s UHC redux.
“Every other industrialized nation has figured this out - why can’t we?”
“Why do you hate democracy?”
“Er…well, I don’t. We weren’t even talking about democracy. I just asked why, if every other industrialized nation can develop a system of providing universal health care to their citizens in a ay that doesn’t wreck, and in fact, bolsters, their economy, why can’t we?”
“Socialism is one step from communism.”
“Well, that’s not even true, but anyway, I was asking why if every other industrialized nation…”
“YOU HATE FREEDOM!!!”
that’s what’s happening here.
It also happens with mass shooting debates to.

I’m not saying anything, I’m asking you. How does “population demsity” make it more lethal? If one out of 100 cases dies in Texas, why does 2 out of 100 die in New York?
You know what higher density means? Start there. It’s not rocket science.
One of my country’s states has reverted back to stage 3 restrictions and has locked down suburbs because of a spike in their new COVID-19 cases. That spike was a number of days of consecutive double digit new COVID-19 cases and just over 100 new cases in the last 24 hours.
This reaction is in sharp contrast to what D Trump has reacted to the spike in new cases in the USA.

Do you believe a President of the United States, any President, is limited in the actions he can take to address a given situation?
For example - A lot of people on the right criticized President Clinton for not authorizing SGM Waugh to assassinate Bin Laden in the Sudan in the early '90s. Is that a fair criticism?
It is very easy to say “They did it, we didn’t so we suck!” We are not them and they are not us. If you read the Hopkins preparedness report from 2019, it tells you why we didn’t in the threats section. And it has played out exactly as identified.
How?
…
Yes, I do. It means more people per square whatever. Please explain how that impacts the death rate.
I already did.
Where?
Look up.
I have. I don’t see it.
I’m not surprised.
Will you please explain what population density has to do with death rate? I get what it has to do with new case rate.
It’s fair to criticize Clinton but it’s also fair to take into consideration the world at the time the decision was made.
Likewise it’s fair to say we screwed up in February. You might argue our sense of preparedness led us to complacency. Maybe true maybe not. I think it’s more of the man at the top not understanding the threat. But regardless…
What are we doing NOW!!
This isn’t over. We can learn from our missteps and adjust and join the rest of the world in getting this virus down to a manageable level so as to at least enjoy a summer and fall before the second wave.
But we simple are not.
We are not.
That’s the plain truth if it.
We are instead condoning the POTUS jamming unmasked people into an amphitheater - while he has everyone around him tested - and expecting people to take distancing and masknguidelines seriously.
We’re being led by an idiot who only cares about his re-election. And it’s hurting our response.
We are ■■■■■■■ this up and refusing to admit it. Plain and simple.
