When will the covid-19 pandemic end?
I say, and HOPE, that it ends in September 2021 thanks to the introduction of a vaccine. Its sad that the United States is going to have to wait for a vaccine when countries like TAIWAN and New Zealand have largely contained the outbreak among their populations. Taiwan is a country of 25 million people, and only 7 people have died from covid-19 and only 451 have been infected. Right now they only have 7 active cases compared to nearly 2 million active cases in the United States.
You're comparing cases and deaths between countries that have entirely different standards for counting cases and deaths, which of course absurd
TAIWAN only has 451 infections from covid-19 out their 25 million population. I don't know of ANY different standard for counting infections. You either have a positive result or you don't. Even if all 451 infected individuals died in Taiwan, that would still be FAR better than the deaths seen in the United States even after adjusting for the different sizes of the population.
