COVID-19 'Pandemic'

[JLM]

If 2 people live a house but next door 12 people live a house the same size, which house will.....?

With that information it is impossible to predict as there are too many variables such as normal behaviour of the occupants, attitude toward Covid of the occupants, state of health of the occupants, such things as ventilation and air conditioning, # of visitor each house gets, etc. etc. etc.

 

[petros]

get to the point you were trying to make...

Proximity of people to each other determines rate of infection.


It why we have "social distancing"
Why is that hard to grasp?

Population Density (km2)/COVID cases (per 1,000,000 people)

Hong Kong 6,782/ 624
Bangladesh 1,175/ 1,786
Lebanon 672/ 1,787
Taiwan 652/ 20
South Korea 517/ 1,338
Philippines 364/ 1,727
Japan 333/ 480
United States 34/ 17,651

Doesn't matter which statistics you use, U.S. is the loser!

You ask "why is that hard to grasp?"
Because you are incorrect.
Most Asian countries are more densely populated than the United States, yet have only a fraction of the cases (per-capita).

You have facts. petros has Da Troof!

 

[JLM]

Google cant tell you what population density is?

What do you mean?

Doesn't Toronto have more cases than the entire rest of Ontario combined?

I don't think that is accurate anymore. Our numbers fell dramatically after the mask laws went into place. Maybe total but total cases is a useless statistic.

 

[IdRatherBeSkiing]

No.

15,748 cases in Toronto.
25,654 cases outside Toronto.
41,402 cases in Ontario.

What is interesting, is that Mississippi has roughly the same number of people as the City of Toronto, but has 77,894 cases of COVID, 5 times the amount of cases as Toronto, despite being an entire US state.

Those are total cases including resolved. Useless stat. The one that is important is active cases or newly diagnosed cases.

 

[petros]

You ask "why is that hard to grasp?"
Because you are only presenting one variable in transmission of COVID.
Most Asian countries are more densely populated than the United States, yet have only a fraction of the cases (per-capita).
Population density only accounts for one of several variables in the spread of COVID.

Okay then, let's expand.

What is the testing rate in relation to population?

Does Laos do more or less testing than US? Thailand?

Will the Govt in Vietnam or China chuck you in a labour camp for noncompliance or wander around with Rights intact like the US or Canada?

Are Asian nations willing to give stats?

What did Mongolia do right?

 

[petros]

I see.

Wash, rinse, repeat even if its meaningless.

Thanks for the deep insight.

 

[petros]

It's nice to see you realized that what you've been pimping is meaningless.

 

[petros]

You cant connect any dots to even form a rough outline let alone a picture. That leaves one conclusion that you post numbers as if it's to prove a point but you have no idea which or if a point is proven.

Wash

Rinse

Repeat

Your very first statement was demonstrated wrong, and you went straight to insulting Girth.

 

[petros]

Nope.

Girth believes higher rates are linked to behaviour.

America has more cases because America.

Nope.

I've noticed the forum is starting to become a circle jerk of Trump supporters lately. I guess that is what happens when you drive away, or ban any dissenting viewpoints.
I think it may be time for whoever owns the forum, to switch up on the moderation.

Is that why you cant piece together a coherent response?

More likely because all the Trump haters are dickless wonders that can't get it up.

 

[petros]

All you've done is repeated the same shit over and over. When your done with apples and oranges let me know.

 

[IdRatherBeSkiing]

I'm done with you. Have fun with your Trump circle jerk.

Just for the record:

I would recommend Trump not run for the President of Canada.

 

[petros]

I don't give a f-ck about Trump.
