There is really no similary between the most populous areas of Europe and, say, Columbus or Chicago or .... The summers in eastern America are savage and inhuman; the winters, by contrast, are ... savage and inhuman.

People complain about the weather in England, but in fact there are palm and eucalyptus growing in Oxford, though it's bad taste and you might lose one in a bad winter. It never gets hot and never gets cold.

I realized after living in UK and Germany that the religious fanatics who founded USA must really have been oppressed to put up with it.

So despite a nicer climate more people die of heat in Europe than the US which just makes Europe look a lot worse.

either that or the U.S doesn't consider the same data when making its stats

Where two sets of stats are concerned always make sure they actually are using the same criteria for reporting.

I am using the adjusted numbers. Official are 2k and scientist adjusted are around 12k. WHO's estimate for Europe is 175k. I do find all the European justification here to show a lot about what Europeans actually think of their own citizens. The numbers make us look bad and so the numbers must be wrong because we can never look bad in this way is such a modern American leadership way of looking at it.
