Mormons, thinking God will not smite his own people. Hell, looking at his track record, his favorite folks to smite are his own people.

Wow, bigoted comment much? You obviously don't know much about the teachings of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We're quite familiar with something we call the "Pride Cycle."
.
No, the problem comes from the middle age generation not taking social distancing seriously. It's a farming and sports-minded community. They've just got to have their athletics for their kids. How else are their kids going to get scholarships for college?
And I still see entire families going shopping, none of whom are wearing masks.
All I know is both old and new testament god is very fond of smiting his own; shit... look what he did to Job... an to think if he's all-knowing, he knew exactly what the fuck was going to happen and just let it happen as some sort of weird self-worship at best. Idk bout the book ya'll added, only speaking on behalf of the first 2 page turners.
Oh, the Nephites are specifically plagued by the Lamanites for whenever they become slow to remember their God. Eventually the Nephites get wiped out by the Lamanites since they became super up their own assholes and stopped worshiping the one true God.
If population density matters than why in the goddamn fuck do they keep comparing the entire country of America to countries like Canada, New Zealand, and Sweden?
.
California and New York have a larger population than the entire country of Canada, and both states combined don't even take up the same landmass as a single Canadian province.
.
If you add both new Zealand and Swedens populations to Canada's population you're STILL only ahead of California and New York by a few million people
.
And just for reference: Sweden is almost 4 times the size of new york and has 2 million more people for that. New Zealand is twice as big as new york and has roughly half the people
Since when is the U.S. being compared to Sweden? They’re doing horribly, because of their own bad decisions. Their neighbours, Norway and Denmark, are doing much better.
you can compare countries like this because population density only matters so much. Once you hit "city living" level of population density or even town level of population density you're going to need to do something.
you can easily compare developed western countries.
it doesnt matter that canada has a fuck ton less people total in their country. 80% of their country lives in cities. 80% of canadas population lives in a situation where walking to and fro doing day to day things will put them within spreading distance of the virus an extreme amount of times.
new zealand has about 80% of its population in city areas. sweden as almost 90% of its population in city areas. The US has about 80%.
its more complex than just looking at it and going "OMG THEIR POPULATION IS HELLA LOWER AND HELLA LESS DENSE"
the lower their population, the more the minority of the population that doesnt live in the city will affect "average density" even if its generally the same percentage of people.
Population density literally has everything to do with it - that's the entire reason they started "social distancing."
.
And Canada for example is a fairly new country with fairly new infrastructure and a lot of land. Most (not all) are not compacted in a way even remotely similar to New York. The apartments and housing is more spread out, the streets are wider, there are more open green spaces etc. All while having several million people less.
.
80% of Canadians do not in any way live in anywhere near the same level of sardine-canning that New Yorkers do. In many Canadian cities it is very easy to walk down a street and keep your distance from 90 % of people. New York you can't even leave your apartment without running into 7 people on the way. And they also walk and use subway systems a lot.
.
You absolutely can compare any country you wish, but the way media and people go about it is very disingenuous to the point it's almost pointless
@silvermyth America has been compared to nearly every country in existence right now. I was mostly using Sweden as an example, but it was briefly compared to America a few weeks ago on some news channel out here
