You're too stupid to realize that a virus growth during the early stages is exponential, and how fast the cases double doesn't depend on total country population at all. The only thing that matters is population density. This is why democrat cities are doing worse. Density. This is why europe did first at the start. They have a higher population density. But to claim that their per capita deaths are higher, therefore they were doing worse is the most moronic thing you could say. It shows just how fucking stupid your lot is. You think the virus goes on google and searches for the population size of your country and then tells himself, well Sweden has 10 million people, so i'll double every day, while the US has 328 million so i'll double hour and half? No shithead, that's not how any of this works. You start with 1 case, and if the growth rate is 2 per day, the next day you get 2 new cases, then 4 new cases, then 8 and so on. And that's regardless of whether your population size is 10 million or 300 million. The only thing that affects the growth of a virus are the measures in place to stop the spread such as contact tracing, distancing, lockdowns, quarantines, as well as population density. If more people live close to each other, the growth rate is higher. But guess what, europe has an average population density twice that of the US. You want to bring per capita stats? Then here it is:
US pop: 328M
Europe pop: 748M
US cases: 3.5M, 140k deaths
EU cases: 1.6M, 180k deaths
US per capita:1067/100k case, 42/100k death
EU per capita:213/100k case, 24/100k death
Cherry picking small densely populated countries is like me cherry picking NYC and claiming their per capita cases is higher than anywhere else (1.7k per million). Another thing you seem to forget is that your cases are sky rocketing, europe is not.
