no, these are the most inportant numbers

I wonder about the numbers from:
Mexico
India
Brazil
North Korea
China
Russia
I find it very hard to believe those governments are being truthful.. despite what the media and a bunch of liberals say the pharmaceutical companies are working around the clock to find something that works and/or a vaccine.
Couple of weeks ago a coworker commented that she didn’t like the way Trump was handling it and things he was saying. So i asked her if it was something she heard him say in a news conference or something she read on Yahoo news. She stopped and said “you have a good point”. She’s not a liberal but thinks the media is trustworthy about the WuhanVirus. Rather she wants to think they’d be trustworthy and honest about this.
Another contender is the narrative that the media and libs were so concerned about COVID and trying to raise the alarm during the critical first months when in actuality if you go back in time you’d find at that point they were busy chasing Trump around with the impeachment stupidity.

Do they think we’re all Joe Biden and don’t remember wheat happened two months ago?
I am very much by nature, a skeptical person. I have to admit, that after I heard this for two days, I pretty much took it as presented and actually believed we earned that horrible distinction.
But then, I recall trying to find out anything about what is actually going on in China, and the absolute impossibility of conversing with anyone in China, and I realized this story was not possible to prove, nor disprove. Then, I started wondering why the tone of the report was directed against the USA. Then, why the "in unison" mainstream media (including Fox News) attack, simultaneously on all networks. Then, the next question was "where did this story come from"?
Regular deaths from other things we have no control over don't cause panic. It gets built into the normalization of lives.
We accept 60,000 deaths a year on average for influenza and puenomnia and 40,000 a year in auto accidents because it's "normal". If deaths were the rational for our actions we'd have shut down the freeways decades ago. I can't explain this mass hysteria in such a short time with almost no perspective being used. Maybe it is the end times. We have a "plague" and locusts in Africa and earthquakes all over suddenly (as reported like it's not normal when it probably is) etc. I'm 60 and we've had freak outs before but nothing near this level of economic shut down. It's going to very hard to come back from this. And governors and mayors of all parties are getting too comfortable dictating our daily lives. They won't stop.
