Oh and tests per million

US 20k
UK 16k

Did I ever claim per million ratings were wrong? Feel free to bring up per million numbers.

If you combine Texas and California you get a population slightly larger than the UK.

Deaths for those two states yesterday 102

How many deaths in the UK? Well over 600, almost 700?

The northeast is more pathetic than the UK, they can stay shut down. Other states that are doing much better need to reopen.

The numbers are skewed, UK includes deaths in care homes, US doesn't. The US death rate is far, far higher than what is being reported.

@Eladar

They adjusted the numbers a few days ago. Before those who only died in hospitals were being counted -

"Public Health England (PHE) has developed a new method of reporting daily COVID-19 deaths, to give a more complete number of those who have died from the virus. For the first time from today, Wednesday 29 April 2020, the government’s daily figure will include deaths that have occurred in all settings where there has been a positive COVID-19 test, including hospitals, care homes and the wider community.

@Proper-Knob

You claim the US does not count deaths in Nursing Homes, obviously you are incorrect based on what I quoted.

Besides States count, not the US.

At least 15 people have died at the Hornell Gardens nursing home in the tiny town of Hornell since the outbreak, according to county tallies. State records show just seven deaths across the county and include no data about this home.

You sure? This is an article about one single state. Besides, this is from the article you posted -

The Associated Press has been compiling a tally from state health departments and media reports, and found at least 13,762 deaths from outbreaks in nursing homes and long-term care facilities across the country. This is likely an undercount because only about half the states are currently reporting nursing home deaths and not all count those who died without ever being tested for Covid-19.

The data on care home deaths has changed since i last checked. Not all states are counting though.

Face it, the numbers are so much lower in most states compared to UK no indercount of nursing homes can account for it.

While the U.S. is not currently counting nursing home deaths nationally, it’s estimated that thousands have died from or with COVID-19 complications in these facilities across the U.S. Last week ABC News reported that based on the reporting of 28 states, the death toll in long-term care facilities has already surged past 10,000.

Yet it was also only last week that the CDC began the laborious process of preparing to incorporate nursing home deaths into its overall death count. The agency issued a notification saying it would soon begin requiring that nursing homes report communicable disease deaths promptly to federal authorities. It’s unclear when the U.S. will begin including those figures in its national death count.
