The United States has long prided itself as the world's shining beacon. But its current status is a much darker one: the globe's leader in coronavirus cases.
More than 125,000 people have died from Covid-19 in the US, and more than 2.5 million Americans have been infected.
American life has been irrevocably altered by the worst pandemic in a century. And as the country struggles to reopen, cases of Covid-19 have surged again -- this time in young people and in states that had previously avoided the brunt of the virus. Here, in dollars, percentages and — most tragically — lives, is the pandemic's devastating toll on the US.
The US death toll is more than twice as high as that of the country with the second-highest death rate, Brazil. That South American country has reported more than 57,600 deaths, according to Johns Hopkins University's global case count.
Leaders in both countries have continued to downplay the severity of coronavirus. President Donald Trump has refused to wear masks in public, which research has proven can control the spread of the virus, and has encouraged businesses to resume operations against the guidance of health officials who believe premature reopenings could lead to surges in cases like the US is seeing now.
Brazil President Jair Bolsonaro called coronavirus a "little flu" and maintains that an economic shutdown would be worse for the country than the pandemic. He's also eschewed mask and social distancing guidance in public and has been criticized for underreporting coronavirus deaths.
More people are infected with and die from coronavirus in the US than anywhere else in the world.
There are a few explanations for this disproportionate share of cases.

Hey. Wait a minute. I thought we were told we weren’t that exceptional. What’s up with that?
Well, it is CNN...
Our President should be praised for this.
Fauci’s fault.
Right, because the dictatorships and impoverished third-world hellholes that make up most of the world are reporting accurate case counts derived from comprehensive testing regimes. Give me a break.
According to the “official” statistics, there are only 29,000 cases in Nigeria, a country with a population of nearly 200 million. But my Nigerian client is telling me a very different story.
Which could be a hint that maybe the US was the target for a bio-weapon in the first place.
Most of the rest of the world it’s not bothering to track covid. It’s just the flu bro. REALLY. It’s no pandemic either.
We have been targetted by China and the democrats.
An act of war and treason.
CNN: Did it ever occur to you that maybe testing in the United States is more prevalent?
(Conversely, if people aren’t actively looking for work, they do not register as “unemployed”..... so unempl rate = “0%”)
Duh...the US is testing more than all of the other countries combined. I guess most people that watch CNN are brain dead mind numbed Democrat robots.
More testing equals more cases found.
It’s not rocket surgery.
just throwing this out there, but could it possibly be because the US continues to test while everyone else has probably quit by now. Could it also be because the government is paying hospitals for the COVID cases, giving them an incentive to inflate the number of cases?
How much trust can be put into China’s testing numbers?
Couldn’t be because the RAT controlled states are still bringing in third world pukes by the millions, could it?
What is 100% times zero?
Stories sbout 2 million fewer cell phone signals and smoke from crematories visible from orbit seem to have disappeared down the memory hole.
The US has 4% of the world’s population but 25% of its Coronavirus cases
And that’s good news because we can show them the way out with a reality check
CCP-19 is psyop, not a death sentence
If it is like CDC’s method they will take the high estimate of 100% and the low result of 0 and say “50%”
