these places are so densely populated there's just no way

the cleanliness / orderliness of Tokyo / Japan only goes so far and Hong Kong is just plain dirty in many parts, there's huge tenements full of working class poors living in squalor

The trend in fatalities in the US doesn't match what's going on everywhere else (just a few examples below). Every other first world country is bringing the fatalities down to 0 while the US plateaued and has recently seen a noticeable uptick. Our fatality trend looks worse than our peers.

Marginally worse and easily accountable by underlying health conditions of the population. Lol at comparing us to Japan. We warehouse our olds where as that's unheard of elsewhere.

In any event, lockdowns beyond protecting healthcare capacity are not productive irrespective of the death rate.

Here is WA the gov is using an uptick in cases (massive new testing capacity) to justify extending lockdowns even though deaths have dropped and pos rate is roughly the same. Its disingenuous and political. Lives are being ruined over this.

Our underlying conditions may increase the number of fatalities versus other countries, but the trend in fatalities we've experienced shows that while everyone else contained the spread of the virus and brought fatalities way down, we haven't. We had some decline, then a plateau, and now a marked increase. The trend in fatalities is a good way to measure the spread of the virus since testing availability has changed so much over the past few months. Fatalities didn't go down in other countries (italy, japan, sweden, germany, and spain etc) because the virus had infected 100% of the population or because the virus ran out of old or fat people to infect. Our fatality trend makes no sense unless the virus is suddenly spreading a lot more here than elsewhere.

For fucking sure underlying conditions play a factor. Comparing the US to Japan (one of the healthiest) is just silly. I haven't tracked national trends as well but locally spike in cases coinciding with nil on the death ledger. Pattern is holding steady.

Overall we know enough now that it's safe to say we're not going to suddenly fall off a cliff. Even if there are increases in deaths it's not going to have the detrimental impact on healthcare capacity that was feared. But yet policy makers are planning for social distancing in winter warming stations and asking for plans to have parks closed next summer. These people aren't going to give up control.

Even if you believe the US fatality numbers are higher because of a looser definition of "death by COVID", our overall trend on fatalities is markedly worse. We went down from the peak, plateaued, and are now going back up. Just about every other first world country maintained a consistent downward trend to near 0.

I lived in Singapore and Jakarta and spent plenty of time in HK and have been to all the big and many of the lesser known cities in SE Asia including places like Kota Ambon.

I have never understood how or why there weren't massive pandemic surges in Manila or Bangkok or Jakarta with their huge shantytowns. There's plenty of old folks. It does make you wonder what exactly is going on.

Japan barely tests anyone. Among the absolute lowest testing numbers on Earth.

The majority of people infected with Covid are asymptomatic.

The vast majority of those who die from it have pre-existing conditions, such as obesity, diabetes. Hence blacks dying from it in overrepresented numbers.

Japan has a much healthier, less obese, no-black society.

This isn't about masks, and it pisses me off that people are buying into the lie.
