    Indians might have a different blood composition that makes them a lot more resistant to Coronavirus.

    Or maybe they measure them differently, like Sweden.

    If someone dies in New York it's counted as a COVID death.

    If someone dies in Sweden, it's not counted as a COVID death if they died from something else too.

    If someone dies in India... good luck counting anything accurately there.

    If an old man dies in rural India do you really think that town is concerned about counting it as a COVID-19 death? Only if they are going to receive money for it like NYC

    That's of course what happens in 3rd world countries like India. But they also might have different blood composition that makes them resistant.

    I suspect that the number of pneumonia deaths in India will skyrocket. Just watch the number of deaths from pneumonia roll in at the end of the year from India. People with covid-19 get pneumonia right before they get intubated or die.

    They just don't have the infrastructure to test everyone for viruses. More than 3/4 of the country does not have the money to pay for a simple blood test, let alone covid-19 test. Hospitals don't do these tests unless if you pay up front, which not many can do. Very small minority even has insurance there - mainly the people who work for top-end companies and the rich. Middle-class can't afford insurance, lower class has no idea what insurance is & have never seen a hospital. Many doctors don't even have access to x-ray machines to check and diagnose pneumonia.. They just go by the stethoscope. That is why misdiagnoses happen often in India unless if you are wealthy & have access to a good hospital (most don't).

    I'm talking about other countries that have gone into extreme lockdown (France,UK,Italy,US) and why are they much worse than Sweden that still have yet to go into lockdown and have yet to force any stupid social distancing rules

    The way the media are going on about this virus the population of Sweden should be extinct by now
    Because those countries have way higher population densities? Why is Austria hit less than Sweden?

    In proportion to population more people have died in Sweden than in America

    lets assume for a second that this whole covid pandemic is being over exaggerated. its not, but lets play along with these selfish morons.

    whats so important that you have to do in your parents basement thats its worth lifting the social distancing we are all doing to helps save lives? where do you have to go? what do you have to do? sit your ass home, play xbox, watch netflix, eat your crap and shut the hell up so at least some people can get better and actually live. you have nothing important to do, nowhere meaningful to go.

    Ive lost more in the stockmarket/investments this month than you'll make in a decade. and yet im 100% supporting these health care workers, keeping home and not being a selfish prick like some of you.

    The response to the pandemic is being over exaggerated.

    Liberty is important. Fighting for liberty for everyone is important. Fighting against governments taking advantage of a crisis by seizing money, power, and control is important.

    Did you cash out? Part of the reason your portfolio is down is because the response to the pandemic is being over exaggerated.

    I'm a health care worker. Thanks for supporting me 100%!

    This whole coronavirus pandemic is such a joke. If it killed 2 million americans that'd literaly be 0.666% of americans as we have 300 million people in this country. That's beyond the point that 90% of them would basically be old and senile ****ers to begin with that could be kiled off by any kind of sickness anyway.

    CDC memo from Steven Schwartz, describing guidelines on how to report Covid19 deaths, judge for yourself if that is the proper way to do it:

    Republican governors who don't think it is serious should leave everything alone in their states while the Democrats who do take it seriously should go into lockdown. Let the results speak for themselves when the epidemic passes.

    That Florida governor wimped out.
