Re: How New Zealand Got Rid of Covid-19

Posted by Stephen Bauman on Mon Aug 17 22:54:56 2020, in response to Re: How New Zealand Got Rid of Covid-19, posted by gp38/r42 chris on Mon Aug 17 20:39:50 2020.

New Zealand population: 4.886 million. 103,483 miČ

US population: 328.2 million. 3.797 million miČ

You forgot two parameters:

New Zealand: 1280 cases; 22 deaths.
United States: 5,488,763 cases; 172,146 deaths.

Let's compare the ratios for area; population; cases; deaths.

Area US/NZ: 36.69
Population US/NZ: 67.17
Cases: US/NZ 4288.1
Deaths: US/NZ 7824.8

Taking into account the difference in area, the US performance has been 117 times worse for the number of Covid cases and 213 times wors for Covid deaths.

Taking into account the difference in population, the US performance has been 64 times worse for Covid cases and 117 times worse for Covid deaths.

Clearly, a factor or factors other than size is responsible for New Zealand's superior performance vis-a-vis the US.
