Somebody on this forum has, from the beginning, gotten virtually everything about this pandemic correct. If you don't believe me, go back and read my posts to the pandemic beginnings or check out my blog. Compare what I wrote and predicted to what was posted by the gentlemen above.

The gentlemen above are why you have somewhere between 700,000 and a million dead Americans and counting. South Korea has one-seventh the population of the U.S. and 2500 deaths. I kept thinking it was a misprint, but no. Not a misprint. So if the U.S. were as effective as South Korea, there would be 18,000 U.S. deaths instead of 700,000+. Australia has about 1300 deaths due to Covid with a population of 26 million, or 1/14th the population of the U.S. So if the U.S. were as effective as Australia, the U.S. would have, yeah, about 18,000 Covid deaths, not 700,000+.

Canada has 37 million people and roughly 28,000 Covid deaths, which isn't good, but about one-third the death rate of the U.S.

Final note, and this is not about Covid itself. When asked when the next Covid-like pandemic is likely to occur, the head of the South Korea Infectious Disease Institute said he expected a new one to roll down the pike in four or five years.

The question is whether Americans will have learned anything from Covid. I'd say probably not.
