Ain’t it peculiar that there are so few reported cases in RUSSIA and CHINA?

Because we have high dollar amounts to collect for each case and an election to thwart.

“Could it be that we test for the virus more than anyone else?”

Why, yes, I do believe it could.

Isn’t it convenient that testing numbers weren’t included? In the US, people who die from constipation, hangnail gingivitis, and masturbation blindness are considered Covid deaths.

Remember all the deaths and body incinerator news items in Wuhan?

What percentage was from the virus and what percentage from a low social score?

My thoughts as well, and let us not forget that the U.S. is such a horrible, totalitarian, and racist country that folks from all over the world can’t wait to come here. People who may be carrying the virus.

Also, border states are seeing a massive influx of new cases that are being imported from Mexico.

What a hit piece
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You got that right. No fewer than 11 writers contributed. This was a pretty big project, written to frighten and to shame, not to inform. Taking a shot at the idea of America as a beacon just a few days after the 4th of July was the cherry on top.

11 contributors and they never get around to mentioning the deaths per million. The premise of the piece is how the US compares badly with the rest of the world, yet they omit the most informative comparative statistic? Guess that’s because the US falls mid pack when judged by that statistic, faring better than much of Europe and England.

They also leave out the plot of deaths per day with its months-long falling trend line. When it comes to deaths, the media only report the cumulative number which always increases and hides the real arc of the disease, and of course they love to report cases.

The US has 4% of the world’s population but 25% of its confirmed Coronavirus cases due to widespread testing available in the US.

There's that word again, "Cases". I'm not certain but would assume that a positive test result for this, or any, virus amounts to a "case". That would include "cases" where those tested "positive" have no measurable symptoms, or some so mild that they aren't much different than a common cold or seasonal allergy.

If anyone can confirm or contradict that, with a source reference, I'd appreciate it. If I'm correct a chart showing hospitalizations, percentage of ICU beds occupied by patients under the age of 75 with the known Covid symptoms and positive test results (75 + year old grandpas and grandmas hospitalized for broken hips from falls only to succumb to bacterial petri dish hospitals should not count), etc. would be useful.

Not holding my breath for such data to be made available by "authorities" before November.

Got to love the outright lies coming from CNN. They write about Trump as though they were reporting on Hitler. “Bad guy Trump decides he rather have dead people if it means Americans get jobs.” I mean seriously. These guys are unhinged.

America is a free nation. What they don’t tell you is the UK, Spain, Italy and many other countries have HIGHER death rates than the USA.

Yes, I wonder where Don Lemon rather live. The USA? Or China and India?

Let’s look at this realistically. First of all, it is a CNN article. Ordinarily, that should be a red flag raised right there & should be 90% of all that reasonable people need to know.

And you believe that we are NOT under attack from China?

This was deliberate and a conspiracy between China, the DNC, and the Media. Well orchestrated and carried out.

When rule and actions just don’t make sense until you apply this standard.
