We're going to end up with a huge amount of debt, a financial crisis, and the most deaths of any industrialized country at the end of this.
What industrialized country has a higher population than US? Do you not get how proportions work or something?
EDIT: And if you think this phenomena of central banks buying debt is somehow unique to the USA ... I mean ... the media is actively trying to prevent people from having a balanced picture of the world ... so it is not a surprise ... but yes ... you should try inform yourself of the reality. Almost every industrialized nation and non industrialised nation is doing similar things.
Yes it is a shitload of deaths. Lets talk about it being more than every other industrialised nation in proportion when that actually happens.
I mean, the rest of your comment aside, let me just mention the answer to this IIRC: China and India both have larger populations than the US.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Developed_country
> A developed country, industrialized country (or post-industrial country), more developed country, or more economically developed country (MEDC), is a sovereign state that has a developed economy and advanced technological infrastructure relative to other less industrialized nations.
1. 538,000 confirmed COVID-19 deaths worldwide; 132,000 confirmed COVID-19 deaths in USA. 24.5% of worldwide deaths in USA.
2. 7.8 billion people worldwide; 328 million people in USA. 4.2% of worldwide population in USA.
Does that ratio seem like cause for concern?
Okay, how about I just say no, at the end of this the USA won't have the most deaths per capita of industrialized nations. Amazingly my claim has just as much, if not more, basis than the original claim. Glad we settled it.
> Does that ratio seem like cause for concern?
Belgium (2.1 more) UK (1.6 times more) Spain (1.5 times more) Italy (1.43 times more) Sweden (1.3 times more) France (1.1 times more) have more deaths per capita than USA.
Every death is concerning (I guess some people are not clear on this), but the per capita deaths of the USA is not anomalous.
Given the data we have I would say the most likely situation is that developing and least developed countries are either not being exposed to the same levels as industrialized countries or just not as good at tracking and reporting deaths as opposed to just having a lower actual mortality rate.
That being said some areas in the USA, like New York, clearly just completely botched their handling of the pandemic what with sending sick old people back into frail care facilities. I hope at the end of this whoever made that policy is brought up on murder charges.
