Also on a per capita basis their "big spikes" are usually still like 10x less than our best days since May. Please note best days. For whatever reason, you picked our recent worst days. That's isn't what he claimed. Yes, if you look at our worst recent day of 75,000 cases, that's about 228 case per million pop. Again, that isn't what he used for his claim. |

I'm not sure why suzzer chose to compare our best to their worst, really. But if you look at our worst (75,000/day) compared to France's, we are worse from a per capita basis. (228/million pop to 166)

From an overall perspective:
USA = 20,441 cases/million pop France = 6,050 cases/million pop |

Comparing Europe's worst to our best was supposed to make his point stronger. It sounds like, currently, things are much worse in Europe on a per capita basis, while, overall, they have still done a much better job at mitigating the total damage up to this point. |

I'm not sure why suzzer chose to compare our best to their worst, really. If we look our present data (~35,000 cases/day), we are at 106 cases/million pop France is at 166 cases/million pop. But, if you compare our worst to their worst, we far exceed them. And, yes, overall it's really not even remotely close. |

In reality, our best is nowhere near 10 times worse than their worst. As you showed, it's actually better. So suzzer's claim was just completely inaccurate. Even if he sad our best is worse than their worst without the x10 qualifier, he would still be wrong. |

They are having more cases per capita than us on our worst days. Anyway, I just realized that we are still not down to where we were in mid-April. That just plain sucks... |
