Top Ten Covid Killing Nations

Was great to see this list after a year of global battle. Plenty of time to prove that it has nothing to do with luck and chance, and that the right protocols reliably beat it into submission every time it appears. FTR, and in case it hasn't already been posted:

1) New Zealand
2) Vietnam
3) Taiwan
4) Thailand
5) Cyprus
6) Rwanda
7) Iceland
8 ) Australia
9) Latvia
10) Sri Lanka

The Western First World has clearly failed, spectacularly.

 

Give me liberty or give me death.

 

Too damned RIGHT! You have to forgive the cowardice of the drones, though. It's that whole 'FREE PEOPLE' concept that trips them up. They really don't understand it or are so afraid of risking anything the Gobmint tells them is bad for them. China is now poking probes up the arse of their citizens - no choice allowed - because they say that method is more accurate. Can't wait to spit in the face of the first medical drone here who tells me I have to "bend over" for the "greater good".

New Zealand, #1, really?


I thought their national & geographic isolation
would have served the Kiwis better
along with their popular PM

Or did I "get it" back ( )o( )-ward

It's interesting that 5/10 are islands/continents that are basically one big island. I wonder if that has something to do with it?

 

How can it, when it's only half?

 

NZ are rated 'best', so yeah. Number one.

 

Sure sure ... it's much better to have rampant COVID. So much better for citizens and economies etc

 

When it comes to future global pandemics, your 'liberty' will be your death. Viruses were always going to be the greatest threat to humans. We've suspected it for the past hundred years, but we've known it for the past twenty. Consider COVID a dress rehearsal.

If you're under 60, I recommend you make peace with the protocols. Mother nature doesn't give a damn about our 'freedoms' .. she'll do what she's going to do - we either work with her or get mowed down.

 

50% of the list are island countries. More than 50% of the world are not island countries. Which means that island countries are overrepresented in this list.

 

'Scuse me sir, I just need to check inside yo assho

 

Then put me out of my misery.

 

Get real, we never fail. Why are you treating a global pandemic as some weird vendetta against the ”western first world”.

 

So island and/or isolated countries with low international travel or business importance were able to avoid a pandemic. Color me shocked.

It’s like comparing a successful Fruit stand with Walmart.

 

Do you let them "play" with you at the airport?

 

Okay, on numbers yes. But the nature of their govts, cultures, and societies says just as much.

 

You will be put out of your misery, if indeed we've reached critical mass. We're almost certainly past the point of no return, in regards to a safe balance between population and ceaseless movement. Typhoid Mary only gained infamy because wide spreading of disease was so rare in that much smaller population, at a time when few people travelled. Now we're all Typhoid Marys.

 

You feel like it's a vendetta, and that someone is out to get you? Interesting!

Meantime, the West has absolutely failed. They need to get their sh!t in order before the next one.

 

You think Vietnam, Thailand, Australia, and New Zealand have 'low international travel'? That's pretty funny

 

I want the virus to either go away or take over to the point any measures are useless, I have no preference for either case.

 

I want a billion dollars and a pony.

Humans have faced existential (in the pragmatic sense) challenges since we climbed down out of the trees. There's never been anything more certain in all of human history, than an ever present threat to our survival. That is, up until about 100 years ago. That's when we somehow managed to hold the balance between dense populations and travel for long enough to convince ourselves that existential threat in the form of contagions, was a thing of the past. No longer relevant, and not to be borne. We had did have a relatively modest revisit of hardship and loss of freedoms during WWII (at least Europe did), and were pretty good about that despite being 20 years into the Comfortable Century, but that spirit appears lost to the West now. Comfort can be a terrible thing, when we have so much of it that we consider anything less than perfection of same an injustice.

 

It might mean nothing though. More people in the general public don't vote. But it's still an interesting fact.

 

I am actively opposed to comfort. Comfort can **** off, I just want liberty.

 

Compared to large nations that significantly impact the economy of the world, hell yes. New Zealand is a literal birthmark in economic significance. If they shut down travel completely and isolated for years it wouldn’t even be noticed on the world stage.

 

Liberty IS comfort, to those long associating liberty with comfort. It's not 'comfortable' to be stuck at home. It's not 'comfortable' to wear a mask. Etc.
