Testing or no testing, we are clearly fricking something up in the United States (hint: it’s the low percentage of testing and the refusal to wear masks). For example, Germany’s per-capita death rate is 1/4 of that of the United States. Oh, and Europe also has WAY more elderly people than the United States. So much winning, I’m getting sick of it!
We have more Black people here Than Germany and they are much more disproportionately affected.

As of July 1, data published by the CDC shows that nearly 18 percent of COVID deaths are black Americans. Nearly 52 percent of deaths are whites. Those are a respective overrepresentation and underrepresentation, to be sure. But considering that blacks are only 13 percent of the total population, and whites are 62 percent, that math simply does not account for a QUADRUPLING of our per-capital death rate compared to certain European counties. Let me also remind you that a few counties, like South Korea, have effectively eliminated COVID.
But I do love your implication that our death rates are acceptable because the blacks are affected at a disproportionately higher rate.
