US #1 in Coronavirus

Early response needed to be an aggressive over reaction not a reaction to how it currently looks. Look at the numbers today and then assume you need aggressive over reaction to those numbers- that is what it will take. That or let some million plus people die. Those are the only options.

Maybe at the end of the day we will learn something from this and be a better place. Can beauty come out of ashes?

Why did it take 3 pages for someone to post this common sense? Can anybody count?

Despite what the media might want you to think the US has conducted more tests than any other nation, there are .

Why do you Trumpers always cherry pick "facts" and then blame the media for the misinformation you are purposely spreading?

Example, as of yesterday:

South Korea - population 51 million; tests: 357,896

USA - population 329 million, tests: 418,810

It's obvious that south Korea has tested a much greater percentage of their total population, yet they have only 9,332 cases and USA has 94,461. (Note USA has a greater percentage of it's population with corona, not just a greater number of cases).

And here you argue that USA has more confirmed cases because they have tested more than any other country. This is the media's fault? It's people like you spreading misinformation. You're just a biased idiot lead by your own stupidity to repeat the lies of a bigger orange idiot.

We've tested more just now but for a long time when we could have stemmed the tide, we did not test much at all, and it is the Democratic governors and mayors who have sped up testing the most dramatically, which is part of the reason that New York has more cases than almost anywhere else in the world: New York has been testing.

Taiwan, by contrast, took 124 different measures starting on December 30 to stop the virus from spreading, and it worked.

Germany ist testing 500,000 per week.

Poor people in USA. Trust your great leader. Like Boris...

First off percentage doesn't matter when their are a limited number of tests. If I go to a soup kitchen with 5 people and feed 4 of them while you go to another with 500 people and feed 300 of them who would you say did better? Me because I fed a higher percent? Also I'm comparing the US to the rest of the world not just South Korea, a nation that is much better off than many more countries other than the US, its funny how you didn't compare the percent of cases from the US to a country like Italy... and I don't know where you got that number for the US, but according to the CDC as of today it is only 85,000... fact check anything I said and tell me which one of us is misinformed.

Wow, you double down with another stupid example proving your just a victim of your deranged overlord. Pick and choose stupid examples. Sorry, chump, find someone as stupid as you are to buy into your Trumpesque bs. I know that stuff works on you, but that’s because your stupid.

US is over 100,000 now. Even your sources you rely on are wrong. Fool.

“You’re” in two places. I know.

Yeah, we have more cases and far less deaths!!! What are we doing right!!! Another reason America is the greatest country in the world. How many is citizens are trying to escape to Italy, Spain, China or anywhere else?

It’s going to get much worse in the next 2-3 weeks.

We have the most cases for a few very unalarming reasons. First of which, one that I thought would be common sense, is because The US has the third most populated country in the world, over 5x the amount of Italy, which means a lot more people to contract the virus. Despite what the media might want you to think the US has conducted more tests than any other nation, there are obviously many cases around the world that are not reported because they can not be confirmed by tests. The US just has the most cases that are confirmed due to more tests. The last reason why we have the most is because we are honest with our reports on the amount of cases, who knows what is going on behind the scenes in China.

Wrong, wrong wrong.

Germany to name but one is way ahead of the US in terms of testing.

I say we hold a megachurch Trump rally every day for the next three months.....

That's my solution to eliminating American obesity, ignorance, selfishness, and racism...

We are testing more, when you test more the numbers will go up, take the number infected with a grain of salt as I am sure some of these other countries numbers would be just as high if they tested as much, the number you have to watch is the mortality rate, any death is bad but because we are doing more our mortality rate will be lower.

It would not be that alarming if cases were spread evenly throughout the country. It is alarming because only 3 countries have more cases than NYC. The issue is that there are clusters in relatively small geographic areas where there are not enough resources.

Hey my progressive liberal friends, don't be so but hurt over this. Let's join together and include everyone in this fight of our lives!
