GENEVA (AP) — A top official from the World Health Organization says Europe has surpassed 1 million deaths from COVID-19 and the situation remains “serious,” with about 1.6 million new cases reported each week in the region.

When analyses are done in the future, it will show that widely and broadly, similar cultures and nations fared similarly. Western culture breeds this independence and desire for freedom that hurt the cause...

The US and Europe share similar cultures, economies, infrastructure, population density and medical systems... very similar C19 results.

1. Out of what total population included? n/t

2. The WHO's European Region is about 900 million people.

3. Just six countries in Europe surpass the U.S.

Let alone all the rest of them.

US 590k deaths

UK 128k
Italy 121k
Russia 110k
France 105k
Geermany 89k
Spain 79k

Just Those six 617k deaths

4. True, but their combined population is 470 million

And the idea that "if you balance for population, Western Europe has more Deaths than the USA. (meaning add the populations of some hard hit WE countries until = approx US population)" from the previous thread isn't correct.

If you take "Western Europe" - everything including, and west, of Italy, Switzerland and the Netherlands, you have 295 million and 506,000 deaths - 1717/million. Include Germany in that, and you get 379 million and 590,000 deaths - 1557/million. The USA is 590,000 deaths too, but a population of 333 million - 1774/million.

10. The differences are marginal.

The idea that the U.S. had a spectacularly bad record on Covid is just not true when compared to nations of similar economics, cultures and governmental systems. Many of the European nations had higher death rates than the U.S.

5. I'm sure it's much higher than that now, that's dated April 15th n/t

6. 1,015,838

7. If these Countries (including ours) would've just locked down....

We wouldn't have so many sick and dead.

When these variants from India hit us ( I believe 3 have already been confirmed to be "here" ) we're going to see hell.

Instead, most States are opening up.

8. Europe just dominates the deaths per million rates, Hungary alone is approaching 30% of the way

to a full 1% of their population being wiped out just by COVID

that (1%) would equal around 3.3 million US deaths

adjusted for pops, if they were the same size as the US, they would be a week or two max away from 1 million deaths NOW

[Celerity]

9. when Hungary hits 29K deaths, they'll be the 1st nation to have a US pop adjusted death total of 1M

[muriel_volestrangler]

11. Hungary's figure is basically the same as New Jersey

which has 25,554 deaths, 8,882,190 population, so 2,877 deaths per million.
