Bulwark kills it this afternoon:
Don’t Blame Twitter (you can't mistake the pus for the infection)
USA #1.
MAGA
The Covid19.colorado.gov website notes that 55% of the CO Covid deaths were people 80+ years old. 80 years old happens to be the average US lifespan, so I guess it's not unusual to expect that the majority of deaths would occur in this age group. 75% of all deaths are accounted for by those 70+ years old.
Now, I understand that we're dealing with "lies, damned lies, and statistics" and I haven't spent time to process what this means, but it does seem to call for further analysis.
If you look around a bit, you'll find other countries have a similar proportion of the dying in the upper age cohort.
Looking at the overall US performance and outcomes among other nations, we are pretty ordinary. We are neither best nor worst if you look at per capita rates of illness or death when normalized to an equal number of days from some starting point tied to the course of disease. You can play with the graphs at http://91-divoc.com/pages/covid-visualization/ to see how we are doing.
If we had better public health infrastructure, could we have done better? Seems likely — South Korea and Japan had more interaction with China, but have been able to keep cases and deaths low by rigorous testing, tracking, and isolation. Could it have been worse? Sure, check out Belgium and Sweden.
