From your own article:

Quote
But Japan’s version of “lockdown” – requests to avoid unnecessary outings, work from home and observe social distancing – came across as a timid response to a situation that risked spiraling out of control. The dispatch of two reusable masks to every household was met with derision, as people posted photographs on social media of the small, and in some cases dirty, “Abenomasks” – a play on the leader’s economic policy dubbed “Abenomics”.
Quote
Abe’s performance throughout the crisis has been uneven, according to Tobias Harris, an expert on Japanese politics at Teneo consultancy. “I think he has struggled to stay ahead of events since the beginning, has not communicated effectively, and has been poorly served by his lieutenants.”
Quote
The Abe administration has gained few political dividends for its response; instead, most plaudits have gone to the quiet determination shown by the public, armed with virus-challenging habits formed long before the pandemic.
Quote
“I don’t think the falling number of infections is due to government policies,” said Ryuji Koike, the assistant director of Tokyo Medical and Dental university hospital. “I think it looks like Japan is doing well thanks to things that can’t be measured, like daily habits and ‘Japanese behaviour’.”
Quote
Japan’s incremental exit from the state of emergency continues. Last week, Abe ended the measure in 39 prefectures, adding another three this week. Tokyo and four other prefectures could join them as early as Monday, according to media reports.

You're wrong, and that's okay. Things will go back to normal before the end of the year, most people are finally starting to grow some common sense. In your own words: cope.

Don't forget that a large number of those US numbers are from NYC where they have incredibly strict lock down measures.

Lol, what exactly is your trump card here? You referenced Japan as a fuck up in regards to the governmental handling of the crisis, and yeah I would agree, but I also explained to you exactly why this is not an apt example due to the pre-existing societal norms of Japan's society. They dodged a bullet due to them already being extremely hygienic as a cultural practice way before the prospect of a pandemic was even plausible.

The comparison you're making here is like saying a poverty stricken fitness freak has lived to 80 whereas an obese hamplanet with all the medical care in the world has made it to 50.

I agree. But it's also possible to hold the opinion that China deserves its day in the ICJ and also condemn America's handling of the crisis. Its not a mutually exclusive concept.

I ask again, what's this argument shattering point you seem to have arrived at here? The US population has proved time and time again that they lack the capability of putting safety before individual preferences throughout this crisis. Japan has not. Your comparisons are bogus.

It's called easy formatting.

If the US is doing so unbelievably poorly, how about you respond to the numbers Das brought up? Or the fact that a good portion of the US numbers are from places with strict draconian lock down measures? Or are you going to ignore it and just make laughably false insinuations about 30 million unemployed people some more since that seems to be your biggest gripe.

If you take NY out of the equation, the rest of America is doing well
Even in NY medical capacity wasn't overwhelmed

He posted a graph with no source and no verifiable confirmation. I have no reason to doubt the statistics but how can I contest something that is tantamount to a picture with no source to back it up?

Would really appreciate a source on this that isn't a jpeg.

This is more a US societal problem than it is a Covid problem. Your entire economy is predicated on a dog eat dog mentality that if the poor can't cut it then they're left on the scrap heap, even during a crisis which they have no control over. Every other developed nation has their workers on a furlough scheme because they recognise that saving lives takes precedent over capitalist greed and producitivity

that chart was from JHU i think

there's a bunch of other statistics floating around various medical and educational websites that seem to cross-reference just fine with that data if you wanna check further

It's funny that you say that considering:
1. European and Asian countries are starting to reopen slowly as well.
2. American workers who weren't laid off (because small businesses with owners who are just scraping by can't survive an elongated lock down process) are furloughed as well (I was furloughed).
3. You talk about "American capitalist greed" for wanting to go back to work yet some of the biggest corporations like Walmart, Amazon, and Target have been making money hand over fist due to this pandemic and the top richest people in the world only got more rich because of the pandemic (Link here).
4. This pandemic and it's lock down is sending millions of people into crippling poverty (Link here).

Yup. And South Korea saw 40 new fresh covid cases as a result.

Quote
2. American workers who weren't laid off (because small businesses with owners who are just scraping by can't survive an elongated lock down process) are furloughed as well (I was furloughed).

Congratulations. The UK and every other developed nation is paying 80% of workers wages. Leaving your own personal circumstances and anecdotes aside, what exactly is America doing to rectify this?

Quote
3. You talk about "American capitalist greed" for wanting to go back to work yet some of the biggest corporations like Walmart, Amazon, and Target have been making money hand over fist due to this pandemic and the top richest people in the world only got more rich because of the pandemic (Link here).

What exactly is this refuting here? That corporate greed is excelling during one of the biggest collective human catastrophes since the Great depression? Yeah no fucking shit sherlock.

The point where we develop a a vaccine, if and when it's possible
Quote
And what do you think the economy is?
Where the opulent rich get richer and those at the bottom get the shaft, as it has always been since the inception of capitalism.

Seeing as that is not for the foreseeable future, when do you suggest we reopen?

I won't argue there but ignoring the rich and looking at the poor or hell even middle class, they are part of the economy too. Whether you think they're slaves to wages or whatever, their survival is tied to the economy as of right now so what do you think we should do about that?

When we have sustainable control of the virus via social distancing.

Continue social distancing and until deaths and infection rates are controllable. What about this is so convoluted.

So what exactly is your problem with the current process of reopening? Ventilator demand has been met, hospitals have not been overwhelmed, and testing is acceptable in the US right now

Of course there are going to be more cases when we reopen but we have the capacity to deal with it

"flaming nipple chops"-Your host, the man they call Ghost.

To say, 'nothing is true', is to realize that the foundations of society are fragile, and that we must be the shepherds of our own civilization. To say, 'everything is permitted', is to understand that we are the architects of our actions, and that we must live with their consequences, whether glorious or tragic.
