Neither is a per-capita infection rate, but that seems to be lost on you if you think that population difference is actually meaningful to this discussion. You can't simply focus on per capita though since how the populations are distributed is a huge factor. In the US, we have large concentrations of people in major cities. Canada has what... two real major cities... and then the rest is distributed sporadically among a bunch of moose (exaggerating of course but the point stands). Also, far more people travel to and from America and China than anywhere in the world and its not even close. It's either disingenuous or oblivious to disregard these factors darkknight109 posted... So congratulations on naming four countries that have lower virus numbers - both raw and per-capita - than the US, thus doing a great job of proving my point for me. Yes I believe the US should be compared to other countries among the highest populations in the world and not countries that don't matter that much like Canada. You seem to also believe i have a higher opinion of my own country than i do lol. I just also don't believe canadians are as amazing as they seem to think they are on the world stage. India and Brazil are quickly gaining on the US and, as I said, I trust the US case reporting a lot more than Russia, China or Pakistan, or even Brazil and India for that matter. These places are all impoverished shitholes even compared to the US. Even if china's numbers are accurate and they have actually stopped the spread thats because they will weld people into their homes. So yeah, if you completely put human rights aside a lot can be accomplished darkknight109 posted... OK, so you're basing the assertion that this is Canada's most "well-known" show off of Netflix only, which seems spurious. I don't know what metric you're using for this, or how Netflix calculates it, and I don't honestly care enough to dig into it, because the fact that you've been reduced to trying to talk about a fictional television series as a line of attack during a discussion of a global pandemic is honestly kind of pathetic. If that's where you're going to try and find your W's, go ahead and take this one, but you might want to set your sights a little higher next time. I feel that trailer park boys simply paints a solid picture of your average Canadian. Thats all <cite>OhhhJa posted [p:943375099] in Thousands ...
