Countries might be loosening lockdown restrictions, but the coronavirus hasn’t gone away. There are a total of 10.3 million confirmed cases of infected worldwide and 2.59 million of these are in the United States alone, according to Johns Hopkins University. Brazil stands in second place with over 1.37 million cases while Russia has 640k confirmed infections. Meanwhile, India has nearly 567k cases, and the United Kingdom has 313k.
A lot of people are asking the question: why is America number 1 in the world when it comes to Covid-19 infections? It’s a complicated issue with no easy answers. However, some people on the internet are posting anecdotal evidence about how "bad" some Americans are with following coronavirus guidelines. Scroll down to have a look, dear Pandas, and upvote your faves. Oh, and keep in mind that different sources provide slightly different numbers of people who have been infected with the virus.
You can see up-to-date details about the coronavirus pandemic by visiting the Johns Hopkins University Covid-19 dashboard right here. It’s a great tool to use for more in-depth understanding and wider context on this health crisis.

There are still reported cases across the world every year - just not the killer it used to be.

Just watched a 24 part lecture series from 2016 about the Bubonic Plague. Very informative. The initial plague that killed nearly half the population of Europe in the 1300s lasted about 5 years... then it came back about every 10 to 20 years for about 300 years. Didn't kill as nearly many in subsequent events but killed enough that it took those 3 centuries for the population to return to pre-plague levels. Still shows up today. There were outbreaks in India and Madagascar during the last 20 years, and about a handful of cases show up in the American southwest every year. Treatable if caught early, but symptoms are similar to flu and most doctors aren't familiar with it.
The black death reduced the population by approx. 30%. Today that would mean around 100 million victims only in the USA. Not something you should wait for...
"Without a vaccine"---- it did tno vanish. Bubonic plague is still endemic to this day in some areas of the world. How stupid are ... never mind. We're seeing HOW STUPID....
It disappeared because half London caught fire which killed the rats carrying the infected fleas..... Meanwhile, the Jewish population was spared from the plague because of their health/cleanliness laws - which is why the people assumed they caused it by poisoning wells and killed them for it....
Why would the bubonic plague disappear when London caught fire? Maybe it stopped in London for a time, but everywhere else it just ran out of victims.

The bubonic plague is still with us in the dry regions of the USA. There are a few cases that pop up regularly. Usually from dry rat feces
The strains today are much less deadly though. The strains of the past successfully made themselves go extinct by killing their victims too fast and too often.

Also, it did not "vanish without a trace". It still exists and can be found globally.
The Paige actually still exist and people still die from it. Look it up
There are many many of them so much so the sun would be blocked out

At least because covid we can clearly see the differ between dumb pepol and normal pepol
Prior to the existence of vaccines which targeted specific viruses, Human beings never built immunity to the following: Measles Mumps Polio Tuberculosis Smallpox The Black Plague Scarlett Fever Nephritis Those are just off the top of my head. The Common Cold is part of the Covid strain of virii (sp?). I don't know of any people who are immune to the Common Cold. COVID-19 is not going away until a vaccine can be synthesized. These people who constantly harp about "Herd Immunity" and swear that some virologists have "already demonstrated" that if we just do nothing - no masks, no social distancing - that we'll all get COVID-19 and most of us will "be ok" are the same people who think COVID-19 was created specifically to make Donald Trump "look bad." Why do Americans buy in to b******t medical claims so easily? They don't believe doctors or scientists but will believe without question some Youtube video. I don't get it.
If those folks get sick they should stay away from hospitals since contraction would be self inflicted.
We're going to need a lot of trophies for the Darwin awards this year.
The bubonic plague is bacterial infection.....we have since discovered antibiotics....
Bubonic plague is not "dead" at all ! https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-53325988"
Should someone warn them that the bubonic plague has been identified in China earlier this week?
Bubonic plague hasn't vanished at all, it regularly crops up in various countries. There are at least two current cases in China.
Apparently, it's started again in Inner Mongolia - https://news.sky.com/story/china-suspected-case-of-bubonic-plague-reported-in-inner-mongolia-12022119
The bubonic plague didn't ''vanish'' though. People are still getting infected today by it but now the disease is treatable with antibiotics.
The bubonic plague didn't ''vanish'' though. People are still getting infected by it but now the disease is treatable with antibiotics.
and is actually still found in China, the American west (around San Fransisco) and other places...
Had to go check, we're up to half a million deaths from COVID-19, got a ways to go people!!
The Bubonic Plague killed entire towns until there was nobody left to bury the bodies. It killed so many in the Roman Empire and they were so weakened that they lost huge parts of their Empire and it was the beginning of the end for them. It changed Europe and began the Dark Ages.
Well, actually: the bubonic plague is still around, and there are epidemics, just not like there was in the 14th century. And there is a vaccine. This honestly is stupidity on a mind-boggling level, since it took me like two Google seconds to find facts to refute all of that.
The world population in the 1300s was an estimated 475 million and Bubonic Plague is estimated to have reduced it to 350–375 million. The deaths in Europe alone were 35–55 million.
And still exists, squirrels, rats, and other small rodents still vary the virus in some areas. https://www.thespruce.com/rats-and-mice-spread-disease-2656481
The bubonic plague is caused by the bacteria Yersinia pestis. It can spread through contact with fleas and now they are thinking from human to human contact also. It is still around but is controlled by antibiotics. So it hasn't vanished. Wear a mask this virus is dangerous. I am a nurse.
The Black Death epidemic had run its course by the early 1350s, but the plague reappeared every few generations for centuries. Modern sanitation and public-health practices have greatly mitigated the impact of the disease but have not eliminated it. While antibiotics are available to treat the Black Death, according to The World Health Organization, there are still 1,000 to 3,000 cases of plague every year. This was from History.com
in Plague era, top of "medical" treatment was bloodletting for most disease, "vaccine" was meaningless.
Besides the fact that it killed a freaking buttload of people, it also did not vanish AND there is actually a vaccine for it.
It never left. Globally between 2010 and 2015 there were 3248 documented cases, which resulted in 584 deaths. The countries with the greatest number of cases are the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Madagascar, and Peru. For over a decade since 2001, Zambia, India, Malawi, Algeria, China, Peru, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo had the most plague cases with over 1,100 cases in the Democratic Republic of the Congo alone. From 1,000 to 2,000 cases are conservatively reported per year to the WHO. From 2012 to 2017, reflecting political unrest and poor hygienic conditions, Madagascar began to host regular epidemics.
One of the few good things about the possibility of there being no more humans- no more idiots.
Can someone please explain to me the distinction between “literally vanished” and just plain old, unqualified “vanished?” Does it imply that literal vanishment is restricted to disappearance within a written published work, whereas regular vanishment can be accomplished for free within the confines of your own home?
Well, they did make antibiotics to fight off the bacteria. And it was eradicated through....dun dun dun...quarantines.
In the US, more than 126k people have died with or because of the coronavirus. In some states, infection cases are soaring again, and plans to ease lockdown measures have been put on hold in some areas.
For example, even though the Fourth of July celebrations are approaching, Texas and some parts of California have ordered bars to close again.
On Saturday, June 27, the US recorded over 43k new coronavirus cases. Florida alone recorded 9,585 new cases in 24 hours on Saturday, which was a new daily record for the state. Georgia, Nevada, and South Carolina also reported new daily infection records.
Just to keep you on your toes, you ought to know that scientists in China have identified a new strain of flu that has the potential to become a new pandemic.
The new flu strain is carried by pigs but, according to researchers, it can infect human beings, too. There are fears that the strain could mutate even more and easily spread from human to human.
I agree that the medical staff needs better gear and equipment to fight this pandemic and I know that I might get trashed here but I think addressing police as killers is wrong, not every cop is a killer, most of them try to keep us safe.
The internet never forgets. But how does someone change 180 degrees like that in just a few years?
I think it follows the logic of toddlers who close their eyes with their hands and think that no-one can see them
"if you are sick, still come, it's your right" does make it sound like an evil plot...

I think that it's Isaac Asimov who said that the US is a country where being smart and being dumb are equally worshipped. That anyone's opinion is worthy, no matter how dumb or ignorant. He said that that was the main difference between the US and the rest of the world. His words have never been truer.
Is this the quote you were thinking of? "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."

I have come to the conclusion that there are only two types of people in the world. The "I"s and the "we"s. The "I"s don't want to wear masks, don't want to isolate, don't want to protect others, don't care about the rights and lives of others, whether it's BLM, or LGBTQ. They are in it for themselves. And then when something bad happens to them, they want all the resources for themselves and expect to be prioritized. Then the "we"s care about everybody as much as they do about themselves. It also seems to me that the "I"s are frequently right wingers and the "we"s are often left wingers. There's my observation for the day.
Speaking as an American, not all of us behave this way. Some of us are complying with the safety protocols and doing our best to stop the spread of COVID19. What makes me mad about all of these who refuse to take it seriously is that my father, who is a kidney transplant patient, has been confined to his home for the past two months because of COVID19 and these people are running around complaining because they have to wear a mask. These people are the reason that people like my dad could get sick.
I am pretty sure the rest of the world is not unhappy to watch dumb Americans curl up and die. But, unfortunatley, there are tons of nice and normal peeps in the US and they suffer from this idiocy, too.
I feel really sorry for the perfectly intelligent US citizens who have to put up with not just Trump and covidiots but also US bashing. I have always liked the Americans I have met both in the UK and when in the US.

My friend died a month ago from Covid-19. Her son who is now 12 was adopted by her but prior to that he had been adopted by my best friend who died when he was 5 after being abandoned by his birth mother. I am sad that my friend died but it has been very hard knowing this little boy has known so much death in such a short life. Even if we dont think this effects us directly it is very selfish to not do you best to keep yourself and others around you protected. The idea that this is being done to destroy peoples lively hoods and small business is really stupid to me. If you dont want to wear a mask fine, keep your but at home. The cases in my area have sky rocketed since every started opening back up and I am sure part is due to back logged testing but I dont think that most of it is. I would love to get back to normal but I am not willing to risk my life, the life of my family or any strangers because I need a damn haircut or something so menial.
It's simple. American culture is predicated on individualism. This unfortunately overlaps significantly with "selfishness". Too many Americans don't take it seriously, think they know better, or just don't care about issues that can affect the collective population if it impacts them individually.
I don't blame you, but the border's closed, probably for the next several months. Please vote out the MAGAt. Thanks.

Less than 25% of the people in my local Walmart were wearing masks the last time I was there. It makes shopping extremely stressful, especially when they ignore social distancing and get in my bubble. Covid isn't super prevalent in my county, but it IS here. And even if it wasn't, it could show up at any time. It blows my mind that people are so flippant about this. The fact that something I can't even see could potentially kill me or my children terrifies the hell out of me. I don't care how slim the chances are, I'm wearing a mask, keeping my distance and taking every other precaution I can think of. If we had ALL done this from the start, this s**t would be over and done with and we really could go back to life as normal. Instead I get to make the difficult decision of whether or not to send my child to what will qualify as public school in a few months. And it's all because of idiots like these. I'd slap them, but that would mean getting close to them.

How can someone think that politics and a virus are related? If the medical body is telling the world that we all should be wearing a mask to protect other people, put your mask on and shut up. If you infect someone and they die because you are not wearing a mask, that is murder.
It never ceases too amaze me how dumb many Americans are. They're so caught up on "you don't tell me how to live my life" to think a little about others. So what if it even was a hoax (what it definitely ISN'T) what harm do it do to distance yourself from others and wearing face masks? It's not like it hurts. It's saving lives instead.
It is very sad how all these "freedom fighters" forget that with freedom comes responsibility and consequence

It will make this summer look like the bloom of health. Covid will likely still be rampant.

People got coronavirus when they are gathering in large crowds. Except when they protest because it's a biological fact that covid-19 respects the BLM movement...
Most protesters tried their best to social distance, wear masks, and use hand sanitizer. As a result, very few COVID cases have been traced back to the protests (https://www.businessinsider.com/black-lives-matter-protests-are-not-fueling-coronavirus-outbreaks-2020-6; https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/24/us/coronavirus-cases-protests-black-lives-matter-trnd/index.html, among other articles), while significantly more cases are from the anti-mask protests and the premature reopening of public spaces.
