Yeah, what's happening in the states is an absolute fucking tragedy. The sooner that orange buffoon is out, the better.
We're at about 4000 since the beginning of the pandemic now. There's an enormous gap indeed. But it's still far too much around here. Especially considering the whole country only has about the population of NYC. And apart from Vienna (which sits at a cool 2 mill), none of the other larger cities even have a population of half a million (Graz coming closest at 443.066). And lots of stretches of land are rather sparsely populated. Given that fact, Austria even overtook the states in terms of new infections relative to the overall population about a month ago. Fortunately, that wasn't the case for the death toll as well (might have something to do with the healthcare system), but it still skyrocketed in the last few months. No contest, really. Just saying, things aren't exactly great here, either. Close to 3000 infected per day is still far too many for a country with a population shy of 9 Million.
