        There are several countries like this and it doesn't look it's just because of the lockdown.

        Lebanon conducts roughly 2,500 tests per million people. That’s pinenuts.

        No more is needed for now. Most of the tests are done randomely for safety purposes and for people wishing to conduct other non covid related operations in hospitals

        Eurocrat2 · 48s And such a shallow take. Many variables not mentioned. And not mentioned that in Croatia, for example, masks never were obligatory except for medical stuff.

        localism prevailed in Lebanon. They did not wait for the government to tell them what to do. Sadly, they've returned to the streets protesting again which will most likely see a rise in cases. This time, the health minister is pleading that they reconsider. Only time will tell.

        Hey @nntaleb, I know this isn't the right place to ask, but I've been battling with a question, how to measure if a business is fragile or not, what method I need to use? And will this method be useful for trading? Hoping that you'll answer!

        A country like Lebanon does not have agenda to inflate the case to achieve panic policy like the west did, if you see a reporting mechanism in the west they count any death as a covid-19 caseif the deceased are positive of covid 19 even if the death occured in other major cases
