I would trust that number as much as I trust our government.China with 1.4B people has less than 5k people dead with NONE of our western mRNA tech... how'd that work guys?
Lots have mention they don't believe China, I can appreciate this. So let's play a game of "who do you trust"I would trust that number as much as I trust our government.
Throughout this whole ordeal, I trusted my own observations. Hasn't led me astray.So let's play a game of "who do you trust"
Both can't be trusted for a multitude of different reasons. One thing that's for certain, in the US it's about compliance, control and money. The fear campaign was unfortunately highly effective.So one proposition is that China is lying and America is not (my assessment of others' theories)
new drug development takes investment money, if government wants to help, reduce the friction.Or The Guardian, which on top mentions pending case against Moderna, which might end up with M. having to pay (or not) a $1bn fine for suspected partial patent infringement. But should that happen, might call it the government recouping some of the investment / cost (ultimately taxpayer money).
I looked at Moderna, and it was too expensive way back when... I bought some Pfizer and sold it at a fair profit a little while back. The stock market prices stocks based on conditions 6 months to a year from now, so the Covid trade is old news.-- (No, and it's not the government wanting to put an end to in particular young people making and having made some good money by buying into Moderna stocks from early on.)--
Taiwan with a population of ~23M has < 1k dead
NY population of ~11M has > 61k dead
is Taiwan lying and what about NY, do these numbers sit well with the Bayesians?
Nigeria has over 200M people and has less dead than Rhode Island (I didn't discover these anomalies but do find them interesting, anyone else?)
Yea it probably has nothing to do with the financial incentive baked into the US policy. I bet it's as simple as your guess.Simple.
Taiwan's population follows rules. US population doesn't. Besides, obesity is a US problem and obesity still is one of the indicators of being vulnerable.
Nigeria's cases will be under reported, as a large part of the population isn't tested. No access to hospitals. No health care system like the west has.
