So they just lucked in to doing 14 day mandatory quarantines for all visitors? Accidentally fell into doing aggressive contact tracing for all cases? Screwed up and kept 3.8 million visitors a year from spreading the illness (or far far more per capita than visit the US)? Yeah, they didn't do anything special. It's irresponsible to look at what they have done that has worked. It might hurt someone's feelings after all.
3.8 million visitors lol that’s bi-weekly numbers for Europe and USA. Don’t be dim and compare. It’s tiresome. It’s not accident they had low numbers it’s geographic and economic reasons. Hell, you could have the same if you run the country.
If by bi-weekly you mean every two weeks, you're not far off the mark for the US, but are woefully inaccurate for Europe. As you rightly point out, the US gets about 20% the rate of visitors per capita that New Zealand gets - thanks for pointing out how much less tourism is a factor in the US compared to New Zealand. You'd think they could handle such a small number compared to their population. But they don't seem to be able to for some reason. Now Europe, well, they get about 10 times more visitors than the US. Interestingly, they are doing quite a bit better COVID-wise than the US, though are clearly suffering too.
So we have a small nation with many more visitors per captia than the US doing very well, and a large union with vastly more visitors than the US doing fairly ok (not as good as NZ, but far better than the US).
It's almost as if the actions of the particular nations have an impact on outcomes to the pandemic.
Are you really comparing tourist visits per capita lol.... don’t forget to include traveling with courtiers in Europe. How many people from other countries go in and out of Italy just for work on a daily basis
Well, foreign visitors per capita. I should have used that term rather than "tourists", since that includes business travel as well. And the number stands, the EU sees far more external travel than the US, and always has.
The 740K deaths is a pretty grim number. But I was referring to the response and corresponding trend due to that response. For example just today, there were almost twice as many COVID cases in the US as in the EU. Hardly a lie to point out that the EU is currently seeing close to half the cases the US is.
I should also point out that the 740K deaths in all of Europe is for a population twice that of the US. So yes, they are doing better than the US in that regard as well. Yet I am the one spreading lies? (to put it in perspective: All of Europe: 1 death per 1000 US: 1 death per 718. NZ 1 death per 196,000)
More important than their pathetic virtue signaling, did anyone bother to get the cat's permission?
Can someone explain?
