"US could have averted 40% of Covid deaths"

France, Italy, and the UK are averaging 1480 deaths per million population versus the USA's 1450 per million so I'd like to know where these doctors get off making such an asinine claim.

Asinine? UK and Italy are doing worse than the US, but France and Germany and Canada are doing better, and Japan's doing WAY better at 52dpm. Do the math.

Yeah, and Sweden , which did nothing, no lock downs, no schools closed, no masks, is doing better than the US too.
Which shows that the doctors making these what-if predictions are just full of hot air.
The US did lock downs, sheltered in place, closed schools, required masks, what else would these doctors suggest that would have supposedly prevented 40% of the deaths?

oh you adjusted for population density, did you? With your years of working in the field.
It always amuses me when idiots on the internet who probably flunked highschool biology say stuff like "... which proves that renowned experts with decades of experience in the field are just full of hot air"

The fact that the swedes regret now doing nothing and admit it was a mistake doesn't merit consideration, huh?

Imbecile

Those doctors are just engaging in the Let's Beat Up On Trump game.
They don't have a clue as to how many deaths could have been saved because they don't have any recommendations that are different than what we already did.

yes, there is good money to be had in joining this beat up on trump game and saying something that according to you is easily disproved and would ruin their reputation.

"They don't have a clue as to how many deaths could have been saved "
They have better clue than you, dumbass

"because they don't have any recommendations that are different than what we already did."
But it would have mattered if those recommendations would have been implemented sooner. Better. Instead of how Trump stayed on covid info for weeks because he didn't want his approval to drop and politicians wanted to dump their stocks.
It would have mattered if everybody did those recommendations instead of allowing republican retards to ignore some or all of them.
It would have mattered if the orange baboon in the white house told this magahats to wear the damn masks.

Many things would have mattered. Many things you ignore because you are dumb. For you, every complex problem is reduced to a few sentence because that's all you can manage with your limited intelligence. And then ofc you consider everyone else stupid for not solving the very simple issue you made up in your head.

Swedes are largely supportive of their SARS2 policy.
You are full of it.

Leadership matters. Communication, coordination and cooperation. Trump was not able to succeed in any of those areas. No one trusted what Trump said would be accurate, he was saying things in public that directly contradicted the recommendations he was making to local governments, public health officials were competing against each other and the Federal Gov't for supplies, and governors/mayors etc couldn't get on the same page about guidelines/restrictions.

what a disaster.

Rather than get involved with the quibbling about how the numbers were arrived at....
I'll just go with the Optics.
Trump put his re-election at the top of his priorities in the pandemic plan
"the virus will disappear, as by a miracle".
"Maybe we can inject the body with some of this stuff"
"We should slow down the testing !!"
Holding numerous rallies while creating super spreader events (to boost his re-election chances, of course)
And on and on and on .........

Nobody's beating up on Trump anymore. We'll let the courts deal with him.

What is the racial makeup of each of these rich nations?
