Canada is 10 per sq mile So, it's really kind of sad I have to do this, but you kind of need to read the entire sentence you're responding to if you don't want to make yourself look like an idiot. Here's the part that you missed: "When you look at the actual areas that have people in them and not the vast swathes of wilderness and arctic in Canada that have, essentially, no people in them, Canada has a pretty similar population density to the US." Hilariously, you yourself managed to concede that point and admit that I was correct in your very next bullet point. OhhhJa posted... Also untrue. It was based on the "methodology" you put forward originally, so that's not surprising. OhhhJa posted... Still, US cities are definitely more densely packed overall He says with no source for his assertion. OhhhJa posted... Not really. It actually shows the US does a great job by comparison of maintaining a relatively high standard of living compared to other countries of comparable populations that all have a significantly lower standard of living. In what universe were we talking about "standard of living" in this topic? And I would expect that standard of living would also include "not getting killed by a pandemic." Which, y'know, the US is apparently really bad at. OhhhJa posted... Managing hundreds of millions of people is obviously tough work which is something no European country nor canada would know anything about. Put it this way: the ENTIRE European Union, which has far more scattered governance compared to the US, has fewer cases and fewer deaths than the US, despite having half-again as many people in their borders. You can try and torture the statistics of this as much as you like, there is no way to avoid the fact that the US has been an abject failure when it has come to COVID-19 management. The country is almost a perfect case study in what not to do during a pandemic. --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer. Kill 10 men: You are a monster. Kill 100 men: You are a hero.
