    Figures don't lie, people do

    Here are some figures that might surprise you. Six nations in Europe (Italy, France, Germany, Spain, Portugal and UK) have a population almost exactly the same as the USA, 332 million people.

    Those 6 nations have 149,427 deaths said to be the results of the COVID-19 pandemic.

    According to most experts the Socialized medicine practiced by those nations are much superior to the U.S.

    So that is why we are lagging behind them in treating the coronavirus, right?

    As of today the U.S. has suffered just over 138,000 so we are behind those great nations. We need to find some 11,000 dead Americans so we can catch up with Europe.

    And yes the numbers are changing, the world total of 591k went up to 593k in the time it took to write this.

    One reason for Europe's higher numbers could be that Trump stopped flights from China
    long before they did.

        Trump was notified of Covid on January 2 but did not institute the ban until February 2. During this interval over 430,000 people entered from China. Even after the ban went into effect, an additional 40,000 entered from China. The ban was totally leaky.

          America will be #1, because China just burned the bodies.

            Current rates of new infections in USA among the highest in the world. RED either doesn't understand the magnitude of the unfolding disaster or grimly chooses to spin it in the vain hope that people can still be suckered.

            Everyone understands that this is a 1932 election.

              The numbers you are using for the USA is a flat out fooking lie. 100% positive returns from hundreds of testing sites is a made up lie.

              Tell me again why Europe has more deaths... when we have 100% positives.

                Compare the EU's daily death rate right now to Florida. Then get back to me. The fact that you can't make sense out of what is happening is your problem, not mine.

                    As soon as China banned foreign journalist who could report things China's new cases went to zero overnight.
