Guys, did either of you actually read my initial post? Both of you reacted as though I was saying they were doing great long term or overall. I specifically said the rating was only a trending indicator. If the past 3 days has falling number, great rating.

My second post was factual data. What's to argue regarding when we used the same damn reference for it?

Oh, and population density is only a valid measure against nations of equal value. Do you really want to compare the US, Russia and Brazil (very low densities) against Italy, France and Spain (much higher densities) given that the first group still has more cases and/or deaths than the second group? With such lower density, how did it spread enough to become the highest infected nations? (please understand I deliberately phrased that last question in a specific manner to elicit a specific response).

Ignoring the fact that new case rates for Brazil and Russia are indicative of later starting infections.

This isnt off of your trending indicator.
Their debateing because I said Sweden wasnt doing so poorly.

I think Sweden, as crazy as it sounds has handled this outbreak better than the UK has.
Which even to me sounds crazy, because sweden basically didnt do a lockdown.
