I read the news about Indonesia have only conducted 1255 tests on their people and felt sad about it. Indonesia is the second largest country in the whole and they could only managed ot conduct 1255 tests. That is way too little and very dangerous. It is also said that there are many Indonesian citizens who could not get the test done. There are also people dying in Indonesia before they reached the clinics or hospitals. Very sad too. I have said not many countries can have the luxury of mass testing every day.

I have the same question. In terms of population or area or something else. But none of these I see Indonesia is the second largest.

 This means that Indonesia is not rich enough to provide more tests for their people. More tests should be conducted daily to combat the virus.

 Sorry to say this. There are mistakes in my previous data. China is the largest country in the world. India is the second largest country in the world. USA is the third largest country in the world. Indonesia is the fourth largest country in the world. This is what I am referring to.

No, I am not talking about that. I am asking about the bolded one " Indonesia is the second largest country in the whole".

Alright Indonesia is not the second largest country in the world. Second largest country is India. Indonesia is the fourth largest country in terms of population.

 

COUNTRIES WITH THE HIGHEST POPULATION The ten countries with the largest population in the world today are China, India, United States, Indonesia, Pakistan, Brazil, Nigeria, Bangladesh, Russia and Mexico.

Thankfully we have our priorities straight here in LA

I have to admit, living in a town known for it’s extreme right/left viewpoints isn’t the greatest thing during this pandemic. Half the town thinks it’s all fake, and the other half seems convinced they can’t contract it. I swear, if these idiots start spreading the virus here

Damn. The Danish radio just said 80, but that is some hours ago.

But of course plenty of comments cannot look past that it's used by Liverpool, so plenty of hate as well.  

 

Isn't it used by half the football teams in the world basically?

This is a good way to contain the virus.

 

And potentially let it raise it's head back up once lockdown is lifted and the economy (and things like, you know, people's income) is totally destroyed. Let's hope the experts who predict that for countries that go on total lockdown are wrong.
