As I'm sure everyone knows by now, Europe experienced a "second wave" of Coronavirus cases, with absurdly large increases in case numbers.
What I'm trying to understand is how this is happening to the magnitude that we currently see. The USA does the absolute minimum for limiting virus spread, and within a month, many European countries were registering case counts that, on a per capita basis, absolutely dwarfed the USA.
I initially thought it must simply be a drastic difference in the testing coverage, but if I look at the positivity rates:
https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/testing/international-comparison
The US is not actually doing bad at all. In fact, if anything, most European countries have positivity rates that are dangerously high, while the US appears to be sitting at ~6-7%.
I also considered that it might be usage of less accurate tests (ex. Rapid Antigen tests), but the increase in deaths and hospitalizations for most European countries is falling right in line with what might be expected from the enormous increase in cases.
Does anyone have any insight into this? It makes absolutely no sense that countries that actually take precautions are somehow doing worse than the US, which takes nearly none.
Note: I would like to make clear that I am not insinuating any sort of conspiracy here. I personally believe that trying to contain the virus is virtually useless at this point, but I am genuinely interested in how this massive spike even occurred.
How are Europe's Coronavirus Cases so Bad???

The population density in Western Europe is 181 per Km2 (468 people per mi2).
The population density in the United States is 36 per Km2 (94 people per mi2). -
If you want to be taken seriously, don't present anything from John Hopkins. A Bill Gates, NWO funded element, that is at this point in time, the leading driver of the misinformative data. This is the pseudo data that you see all over mass media.

It shows that mitigations we implement or don't implement, doesn't matter in the long run, as the virus will run its course. However, lockdowns have huge negative consequences and because of the nature of the virus, lockdowns should be avoided.

Cases = what?
Tested positive whether you have no symptoms, mild symptoms, serious symptoms?
Some other criteria? A guess or projection of some sort? -

Population density is Asia is odd the charts.
Yet their Covid cases are not -
The population density in Asia is 150 per Km2 (387 people per mi2).

This is a major part of it, yes. -

The population density in Nigeria is 226 per Km2 (586 people per mi2). The median age in Nigeria is 18.1 years. -
Answer: The people telling you that Europe is superior and the US is inferior are the same America-hating liberals who tell you that about everything.
As for Asia, it increasingly looks like they just have a degree of natural immunity that westerners don’t have. -

I would love for this to be subtle trollage (note the clever misspelling of Johns Hopkins)--I was gonna give 7/10--but I suspect it is not.
In essence, if you're not willing to trust Johns Hopkins then you're not willing to trust *any* source that might contradict your predetermined opinion. -

Asia is the most densely populated continent.
Europe second with about 75% of the density of Asia,
Europe swamped with Covid cases.
Asia is not -

No one in their right mind would believe Covid numbers provided by many Asian countries. -

Lol. Correct. And they have, with far less efforts than the US or Europe managed to contain this super pandemic so that their "cases" are currently running at 100 per day on avg, and "deaths" at 2 or 3 people. -

Nigeria: The median age in is 18 years.

Death rate from Covid is the same. Seems to me that the USA is doing a better job than Nigeria. -
Eat out to spread it about

huh what wrote:

Nonsense😂
FAR less wealthy countries have dealt better with COVID than any country in Europe or North America. Yes, they had the infrastructure post-SARS but the ability of government agencies and talent of civil service and politicians in those countries has dwarfed us.
We've just been told since the Reagan days in the 1980s how government is always inefficient and now the rest of the world has pulled a number on us. -

Lol. You can probably make a case that the US has 0.008% deaths and Nigeria 27% if you're willing to fudge numbers any way you want.
In reality, or should we say the fake reality, according to the "official" sources you provided, Nigeria has 1,144 deaths out of a population of 196 million. USA supposedly has what, 300,000 dead out of 328 million?
I don't think it takes past 2nd grade math to figure out the ratios? Correct?
