@Genieinabottle FYI "survival rates" are not based on the number of people who haven't been infected "yet", they ARE based on the number infected and the number who have died. ISR (Infection Survival Rate) and IMR (Infection Mortality Rate) Currently sit at 96% Recovered and 4% mortality. Until everyone around the world is tested, your "Survival rate" numbers are meaningless and misleading. Those ISR and IMR numbers vary according to age group and location too...

The US survival rate is considerably higher than the rest of the world - even England and Canada (so much for socialized medical systems) @spjennifer

@Genieinabottle Things change very rapidly and 146,000 dead is nothing to crow about, sadly with the US's infection numbers growing by about 80,000 a day those numbers will rise very soon as the mortality rate currently sits at about 3.5% there. Mortality rates have little to do with "Socialized medicine" or not, they have more to do with which age segment of the population is infected and how quickly they are isolated from the rest...
