brb, flying to Iran for better healthcare.
Yes the numbers are early & misleading
No I don't expect the numbers to remain the same, so this thread will become a critique of our healthcare response & infrastructure & how it compares to other countries.
Yes I realize geography plays a giant role. For better or worse? Hard to say...sure it's more difficult to service people who are spread out & more difficult to contain....on the other hand, the transmissibility is lower.
6/103 5.8%(USA) vs 77/2336 3.4%(Iran)

http://worldpopulationreview.com/ has the 2020 U.S. population as 328,432,934 and Iran's as 82,578,845.
According to your statistics, the average Iranian is (77 / 82,578,845) / (6 / 328,432,934) == 51 times more likely to die from the Coronavirus as in the U.S.
So you might want to reconsider moving to Iran to be safer from the virus.![]()
Executive Director of the National Nurses United says the country is unprepared to handle a coronavirus outbreak and their members are exposed to the risks.
‘Hospitals not prepared’ as nationwide survey shows ‘fractured’ system amid coronavirus outbreak
The nation’s healthcare system is unprepared to handle a coronavirus outbreak that could already be underway, health professionals are warning, and the result could be “chaos.”
“This crisis highlights our country’s completely fractured health care system and failure to invest in public health,” said Bonnie Castillo, executive director of the National Nurses United (NNU), on Thursday as her union released preliminary findings from an ongoing nationwide survey of health professionals and facilities.
“Facilities don’t have a plan, or they haven’t explained the plan, or they don’t have the supplies, equipment, and training to carry out any plan,” said Castillo. “The outcome of this chaos is that health care workers, patients, and the entire community are exposed to this virus and needlessly put at risk.”
President Donald Trump said on national television Wednesday night that people with the coronavirus could go to work and suggested—based on a “hunch”—that global reporting on the virus’ death rate was false.
I keep hearing this false narrative and out of context quotation from Trump. He didn’t tell people to go to work if they were sick. His comment was on the fact that the death rate did not factor in cases where symptoms were mild and those people did not receive medical attention or testing.
Trump said there’s probably cases where people had the virus with mild or asymptotic and probably went to work and still got better.
What he said was correct the actual death rate is in fact higher that actual, mainly due to lack of testing.
What he didn’t say was to go to work sick.
As to your post, I can’t imagine any medical facility that would normally be ready for a pandemic. They plan, practice but when the rubber hits the road we do what we can and adapt, adjust.
Hospitals are building, adding on all around me. Why aren't they ready. They’re making ton$ on their service. Priced anything medical lately?
Tis just the way things are today, everything is politically spun.Similarly he did not say that the existence and spread and risk from the virus was a hoax as is reported over and over and over in lefty media. He said that the dems were trying to use it as the next hoax to go after him, which they absolutely are.

You remind me of that corrupt christian asshole warden in The Shawshank Redemption.I keep hearing this false narrative and out of context quotation from Trump.
