America is
23 in education.
37 in healthcare.
34 in raising family index.
No high-speed train.
Highest number of homeless people.
Highest number of incarcerated people.
78% of people live paycheck to paycheck.
Stock market is not economy of Americans! Where 90% of money belongs to top 10% of the population, it’s wallet for the rich.
Let’s talk like adults, instead of name calling.
I have left the proof on my playlist, if you would like to check!
Let’s make our country better together…..
@Abort A Commie! we do not score number 1 in freedom.

Pray tell us all who leads in freedom my friend

You can extend your health benefits through Cobra after your job sponsored plan ends
Private insurance without a job is available for any who want to pay the premium
The stock market isn’t a place for the rich,
Who told you something so ridiculous?
All pensions have their funds spread across private companies and even more funds in public companies.
So that fee you pay to your pension doesn’t just sit on it’s arse and never grow.
Likewise you can invest in public companies, there’s nothing and no one stopping you.
ARE YOU RICH? YET YOU CAN INVEST TOO, AND IF YOU DID YOU WOULD HOPE IT WENT WELL.
So what on earth are you on about?
You’re scared of a ghost that doesn’t exist…
please don’t brainwash others into believing your ghost is real.
@Mike Regi There’s videos on you tube showing people that died in the UK from Covid because the hospital refused to admit them. One guy that died was a healthcare worker. Your commie rat socialist healthcare only gets a set budget each year from the government, and when they start running short on money, the old and terminally ill are sent to Liverpool Care pathway to be euthanized. Look what they did to little Charlie Gard, they put him down like an animal when they saw they couldn’t afford to care for him. They even refused to allow him to come to the US where we offered him free treatment. I don’t know what kind of drugs you’re on, but you’re definitely smoking something if you think your hellcare is better than ours in the US.
Homeless person in UK has better healthcare system than Americans.
Let that sink in while you figure out why.
@Driver 1967 you’re 110% correct!!!
Driver 1967 i think everyone who dont agree with anti racism is racists. If a person is racist, or dont speak up aginst racism they are racist. The only way to not be racist is to speak up against it and see it and care about it. Not only white people. A there are a lot of differwnt people, not only white and black people. Asians can be fucking racist. But if somwone say there is not systematic racism, im not gonna say its their opinion. Because its not an opinion if racism in society exist or not. BECAUSE IT DOES. Just because its not written in a law that ”black people are worth less than anyone else” dont mean the laws have racism in them. Especially now with a racist president. Look at this video. At the end she explain systematic racism. https://youtu.be/6Tzv8NsJ7HQ
but they don’t, so not much to figure out. every homeless man in america can walk into an emergency room and receive outstanding care from good people
@DebtSlave why do people feel the need to lie on here.
Mike – In the UK you have a helcare system that starts euthanizing people when the budget runs short. There’s only so much money in the budget, and once the money starts running low, they start prioritizing care and sending people to the Liverpool Care pathway to be put down like animals. No thanks, I’ll stick to my private health insurance system.
every time i hear “T” cells i think of Raccoon city.
@Jenny Jung의 정치 이야기 ok bot
@Awesome Art
This is not the time or place to ask this question. But if you want to know, it is both, I guess. We all have different beliefs. I am a Muslim, and I identify only as a Muslim. There is no black and white answer, it depends on what you believe in. Both sides are obviously good people it is just which belief and idea resonates with the person the most. 🙂
Sakina Bot? You must be brainwashed

Or “I am legond ” or HIV.
Sweden has healthcare for its citizens, and they weren’t willing to go into civil war over masks… so they can try this strategy.
Sweden is also white with very few uneducated minorities who don’t work to take care of
Most don’t wear masks because they’re not mandated in Sweden. Hence, why their rates are low as masks increase your chances of getting the virus due to being constantly touched, adjusted, taken on and off etc. Which is why the U.S, is also seeing such high cases. Every country mandating masks is seeing high rates of infection. Then again, it is a virus that has now turned out to have the mortality rate of the flu so, really, a massive worldwide panic about nothing more than the flu.
@Song Connection – ask the Brits how their government botched the response even after the early stages.
@Alice Swanderful So New Zealand ,Vietnam,Thailand,South Korea ,Taiwan has high rates of spread? Lets just ignore that Swedish people are educated enough to follow guidelines and Im sure doc Tegnell didnt equate covid19 to the flu,did you even listen to him?Lets just ignore the numbers of people in Sweden who lives alone,lets automatically link the slow spread to not wearing masks.Wow Scientists ,docs,nurses ,coroners all over the world studied this stuff for >8 years and they all agreed that it is nothing like the flu but they are all wrong and its you who figured this all out.
@ern pible They studied a virus that just emerged in late December for 8 years? What ARE you smoking? 🙂 Not much point responding when you’re that stupid now is there? 🙂
This strategy would wipe out an obese, diabetic country like the USA.
*It’s clear from the data that despite the impression of Americans as selfish rebel cowboys who won’t wear a mask to protect others, Americans are wearing masks far more than many people in European countries.*
Lockdown to protect only those who’s irresponsible for their own health .
Not others. The others should live and work with basig hygienic precautions in order to keep the curve flat.
@LisaPet C’mon! Lock down is not good enough for miscreants who think they are “asymptomatic” and thus are above the new rules. They need to be incarcerated! These folks, many. are actual parents and they need to lose their children for such irresponsible behavior! The anti maskers and anti vaxxers must be ELIMINATED for the greater good!
@Crystal Giddens Are you OK?
This comment is EVERYTHING!!!👏👏
FYI this requires a population of educated and capable people. the U.S. has neither of this.
@D nope, they grow up with a single mother and rap music telling them to be a thug and a doper
Sonata – The US discovered electricity, invented airplanes, computers, cars, fiber optics, nuclear bombs, nuclear energy, MRI’s, heart transplants, heart stints, the light bulb, telephones, cell phones, put the first man on the moon, put the first probe on Mars, invented rockets etc. etc. Heck we even invented the wheel. While the people in your country were trying to use square wheels, we invented round ones. You had some rough riding cars in those days.
@Asteroid Impact California ranks low on % high school graduate or higher (82.5% compared to the national average of 87,3), but 15th when it comes to Bachelor ranks (32.6% compared to the national average of 30,9%) and Advanced degree (12,2 % compared to 11,8% of the national average).
Least educated states in the US:
Mississippi (R), West Virginia (R), Louisiana (D), Arkansas (R), Alabama (R) , Kentucky (D), South Carolina (R), Nevada (D), New Mexico (D), Tennessee (R)
So it seems like it´s pretty even, 60 % have Republican governors and 40 % have Democrat governors.
The best educated states in the US:
Massachusetts (R), Colorado (D), New Hampshire (R), Minnesota(D), Connecticut (D), Maryland (R), Virginia (D), Vermont (R), New Jersey (D), Washington (D)
Among the most educated states 30 % have Republican governors, and 70 % have Democrat governors
@robert caldwell and what’s ur second language sir?
The great difference, is that Swedes follow the guidelines from their government. The Americans can’t do this as they don’t get any concrete guidelines from the Trump administration. Each state has different guidelines.
how can you expect to understand what’s going on in Sweden, when everything we are being told about whats going on here is clearly a lie???
CNN contradicts itself right in this video. They are fear mongering, again… There is a vast difference in the “guidelines” of the U.S. and Sweden.
As it should be. CA and NY had active guidelines to place COVID patients into nursing homes with the most vulnerable. It doubled their death rates. Should that have been a mandatory nationwide policy?
white house covid taskforce and cdc does put out guidelines. Depends on state on how much they would follow it, since usa is a federation
Their city looks pretty comfortable; I’d like ti visit there sometime.
Christer Ahlner its pretty easy for an isolated country who nobody cares about or visits to keep open, if Italy or spain did that…..or the UK it would have been over
@Galva Tron Sweden is not isolated. Still don’t get your point. 20millions guest nights 2019 from internationell visitors. 1 million people from Sweden travelled abroad during Jan-March.
@Harrie van der Haghen You said STILL, STILL, STILL.
We never had the highest death rate, and we include more people in our count, AND now its the lowest.
You said “Sweden has Still one of the highest death rates in Europe” which is PROVABLY FALSE. COMPLETELY FALSE.
Now Only 2-5 people dies a day and it has been like that for Weekas. The death rate is minimal, one of the lowest in the world.
It was High for a time, yes, but not the highest, and and the death count is still pretty low…

Stockholm I’d amazing, maybe alittle expensive for many Americans taste. Its also a politically intelligent society, that may also be a struggle for a number of Americans…..
What about malmo . Youtube has censored a comment i made in defence of what has happened to the children of sweden and how stats are twisted . So many not charged . Does youtube defend pedophilia now
A comment to the comment by Daniel Liljeberg: Daniel is giving a very good description of the Swedish response and its effects. It is a complete misunderstanding that Sweden just did nothing (only sacrificed the elderly) and then awaited herd immunity.
On the contrary, authorities realized the pandemic would go on for a very very long time, and measures must be taken that could be sustainable (otherwise people would not follow them). So , without much legal authority, many recommendations were made, and people have been following them (still about 80 % of the people follow them). So, no legal lockdown, no policing, schools open (the first 10 school years).
Result today is that we have very little community spread, few ICU cases, and few deaths. We are not opening and closing things every second week as in other countries. We are keeping the same restrictions. We are learing from mistakes, such as the nursing homes, we were late in getting testing for everyone etc. But we have no rising figures , yet, at least. We have had about 30 children in ICU (out of about 1 700 000 school children) and no deaths below the age of 19. The infection rise in neighboring countries has not been seen here. We still have daily infection cases, and the pandemic is by no means over. We are carefully monitoring what is happening.
Right wing groups should not believe that a let go policy will work, ever.
Gregory Raymond didn’t watch your own video? They have one of the lowest rates in Europe NOW but still one of the highest deaths per capita, unless you want to ignore the people who already died.
@Ali Adam I have been in personal lockdown sinds the beginning
I wear masks
very small sacrifice to protect the elderly and weak
If I can save a life I would do this happily for years
@U Swoor sacrificed? you need to turn your tv off it is rotting your brain. please daddy government save me!!! pathetic man
@U Swoor Well, to be fair a lot of cases marked as Covid-19 deaths that has been examined has turned out to have had underlying causes (source bellow). Now I hope no-one dies, but the Swedish numbers could be somewhat inflated.
Also, when looking at potential responses its good to remember that a large majority of the deaths in Sweden were in these elderly care homes due to issues within the care system that could have been just as impactful if the rest of society were locked in. Not out in the general society where you would have excpected a large increase of deaths if the recommendations werent effective.
But I’m all for overestimating and finding everything we can improve for future pandemics.

Coronavirus will be here for years to come. By the time we look back and compare statistics Sweden will have very low deaths in comparison to everyone else. With a pandemic there is no avoiding death.
They are a much healthier people. I hardly saw anyone who are over-weight when I was there early this year. A good healthcare system helps too.
People gained weight during the lockdown. Gyms weren’t allowed to stay open. Now we are fatter with winter not too far ahead.
@Mark Lopez Because Sweden goes against the narrative they require to grab more power.
@Sean Davis No see, you don’t understand, their “BMI is normal” and they don’t eat any more than anyone else…………until only the cat is watching.
@Charles Bailey Preventative starts with eating healthy and putting a stop to all the lies about fat being beautiful.
That’s because fat people in sweden dont want to be seen outside the house.
FYI this requires a population of educated and capable people. the U.S. has neither of this.
@noname Don’t be ridiculous. They had 70k registered cases. This is enough penetration to infect everyone in a place like Minsk if usual megalopolis interaction was indeed dangerous in this “pandemic”.
Dokterstupid, at least we don’t dress like clowns and worship desert warlords
I mean Americans can’t even hold a gender reveal part without causing a catastrophe.
@Anton Levkovsky
Go look at the new figres on Belarus, not the government claims but health workers, there is a big spike in cases going on now
You are so right Dokterpedia
Look at the alarming death toll that could have been avoided 😢
It wouldn’t work and will never work in the US. We have two pre-existing conditions: ignorant and arrogant.
And very poor social and health infrastructure.
What are you talking about? The USA hates masks.
those two words just perfectly describe the democrapic party, they all are pathetic lol. Trump 2020!
It didn’t work in Sweden either
@72111 stop lyin
Sweden is watching the worlds controverial (first global lockdown) Covid-19 strategy with horror. How stupied are people in the the rest of the world?! Mabye we better close our border compleatly – since it might be possible for the stupidity to spread even in to our country!?😮.
Imagine having a media that was more concerned with informing and educating people than it was with getting clicks/views…what a world that could be
BBC?
@Gethsemane Is that a joke? The BBC is ultra sensational!
It’s called capitalism. America!
*Sweden, has Universal Health Coverage, America does not!*
People who make the policies have very good health coverage though
Sweden pays high taxes and America does not.
Yeah, that’s it. smh
America’s health systems and hospitals are PREMIUM. Universal social health case systems are a fucking dollar store in comparison. Give me a break.
Love to read all comments from people who think they know one thing or two about how Sweden works😄 Thanks all pros who barely know how to find scandinavia on the map but knows everything because they “read/heard something😘”
All of a sudden I wish I was born and raised in Sweden
But we have restrictions. It is not “just live as always and catch the virus”. Everything has changed in this country.
So fun that one of our most famous actress has a cameo here. At 1:54
I’ve already cured a severe Covid infection with Ivermectin, but most people are skeptical of cures. Your only option if you don’t have a cure, is to go the way of herd immunity and hope you are one of the herd that doesn’t get eaten by the crocs when swimming across the river.
