That is actually quite worrying if true

Just read about it in a Finnish (tabloid) paper which cited this Guardian article among French (Masks bound to France bought by US):
https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...nt-masks-tests Classy as usual. |

The other side of that coin: Quote:

We're told that nationalized health care is superior to ours. Seems to me you folks are no better off at all. |

National healtcare doesn't necessary account for such spikes in need of various equipment as is now happening. But I guess you already understood that, at least I hope so.

Apparently it doesn't account for spikes, but why not? Taking the profit aspect out of health care should have given them plenty of funds to keep stockpiles of common equipment like masks. I keep hearing about the superiority of government run health care but judging by the death rates it certainly seems that is not the case here. |

Because these things are unexpected and equipment doesn't last forever.

Your map (as it says) shows new daily deaths, not the total. You can also see that the US is marked redder than Finland in that very map. |

I suggest we act with reciprocity. Dräger should not deliver any ventilators to the US anymore. "Germany first." The Americnas had placed an order almost as big as the German one two weeks ago (10 thousand units).
After Canada, France and Germany, Brazil yesterday joined the chorus of accusing the Americans to pirate masks headingfor Brazil. Should not be forgotten. And not forgiven.

Well that is very laudable but it's certainly not matched by most of your more centralized and traveled European brethren. Italy, Spain, the UK, Belgium, France and a bunch of other NHS countries all have a higher per million death rate than we do. |

From what I read in a NYTimes article. According to the majority of the justices they did not think Federal Judges were entitled to change a states voting procedure just days before a scheduled election. In other words they neither granted nor denied anything, the voting laws of Wisconsin remain the same. “Extending the date by which ballots may be cast by voters — not just received by the municipal clerks but cast by voters — for an additional six days after the scheduled Election Day fundamentally alters the nature of the election,” the opinion said.

Senator Bernie Sanders has suspended his campaign to become US president.
The development clears the way for former vice-president Joe Biden to become the Democratic party's nominee. Mr Sanders, 78, told his campaign staff about his decision on a conference call on Wednesday. He is expected to address his supporters online shortly. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-52219756
