[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Italy now has the second highest case count, having surpassed South Korea today.

Italy: 7,375 cases   366 deaths

South Korea: 7,313 case	50 deaths[/quote]

What is up with the mortality rate disparity?! It will be very interesting to see how the data rolls out - age, general health, smoking, etc. [/quote]

It's likely more functional and better trained medical care. South Korea has an ace health care system. COVID-19 is going to come as a nasty surprise to people who think that "western" is inherently superior.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healthcare_in_South_Korea

South Korea DOES practice Western medicine - they are easily on par with the US.[/quote]

they are heads and shoulders BETTER than the US.  I didn't mean "western" as in medical vs. eastern medicine.  I meant it as in, white European.  Americans will be shocked to find out how sh*tty our healthcare system is compared to Korea and maybe even China. [/quote]

Dear LORD, the China is great poster.  :roll: [/quote]

I mean ... have you ever BEEN to a US ER during flu season? It's not pretty. We have a jacked-up medical system in the US, and everyone even peripherally involved or slightly observant knows that. We also lack the political and social will to complete large projects especially if they cause inconvenience to a privileged sectors.  I mean ffs, municipalities are filing lawsuits to stop quarantine facilities from being built there.  We suck as a society when we are faced with the need for collective action.  I think China is horrific and scary in its scale of human rights abuses as well, by the way. But that has nothing to do with the coming sh*tshow in the US.  [/quote]
