I'm not going to look but I suppose it would depend on population density of each country and proximity of people to one another. Seems like with that many more people here, it would be a lot harder to not be in closer contact with other people in general though. I also think about the big cities here and how close people are together. How many of those cities are there in those countries? 1 Quote Link to comment

Actually, you go to European countries and overall, the population density is higher than ours. the US has a huge amount of the country that is wide open spaces and very low population comparable to a country like Italy or Germany. Cities in those countries are similar to ours. You can't just look at numbers, because of the differences in population. 10,000 deaths here, is very different than 10,000 deaths in Italy. 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Definitely makes a difference. Italy, Germany, and Spain are all more dense than we are. Yet they flattened the curve much more quickly. We aren't even close to getting to where they are. These graphs are scaled to the same size. Edit: hadn't read the other posts. Think @BigRedBuster covered it pretty well. 1 Quote Link to comment

krc1995 Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 Probably about as accurate as a @Guy Chamberlin statistic. Lol. Quote Link to comment
