That moment arrived on Thursday. In the United States, at least 81,321 people are known to have been infected with the coronavirus, including more than 1,000 deaths — more cases than China, Italy or any other country has seen, according to data gathered by The New York Times. With 330 million residents, the United States is the world’s third most populous nation, meaning it provides a vast pool of people who can potentially get Covid-19, the disease caused by the virus.
And SOMEHOW, the world's THIRD MOST populous nation, will be the world's most-infected country before India and China, who both have populations almost 4 times that of the USA? " the United States is the world’s third most populous nation, meaning it provides a vast pool of people who can potentially get Covid-19, I smell some shifty reporting by the Commie people. After all, it is not like neither China nor India have a vast pool of people to get infected. Right? At least the USA does not have a Ganges river where people piss, shit and drink from every day, because it is a "holy river". We may die from Covid, but I bet India beats us on the "death-by-dysentery" front!
I know an Indian expat whose family owns a chain of clinics in India. He (tried to) explained to me that health stats are fudged at each level of govt jurisdiction. Their jobs depend on it. It is not their first rodeo.
What matters is that we've surpassed China to become the new poster child for Covid-20 (and doesn't that sound more hipper than Covid-19?)
For a real treat, if you have the Alexa device from Amazon, say "Alexa, wash your hands." The song she comes out with is so cheesy.
Sad. U.S just topped the virus charts. I bet this is not President Trump's idea of "America First". Now, he is childishly bickering over the name of the virus when people are getting sick and dying.
If you buy into 'numbers' from China and all others. Sweden was proudly advising against testing up until now. Somehow, they are changing their guidelines. Whatever it is, it was brilliantly designed to wreak more havoc by remediation and panic. It doesn't matter as to whether it was designed by Nature, God or GRU. It works.
