More than 1 million cases of COVID-19 have been diagnosed in the U.S., marking a grim milestone in the country with the most reported coronavirus infections in the world, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.

1/330th. of our total population.
Because we’ve TESTED MORE than any other country.
Reporters scream for more testing.
Reporters scream about more positive cases, due to more testing.
How many have recovered?
“marking a grim milestone in the country “
...FU NPR! With a 98% recovery rate. You forgot to add that to your “grim milestone”. Can’t we just go ahead and defund these ass holes?
Some who had a respiratory flu last fall may have had CORONAVIRUS and didn’t know it. Heavens know how long it’s been in our country.
As always, the media wants to do maximum damage to the national psyche, and maximum damage to the 45th President of the United States. There were probably 1 million cases of flu, and of H1N1 during the Obama years, but you didn't see "GRIM MILESTONE" printed in the news.
Which country has the most internal travel?
Surely that must be USA.
So, how do we have 1/3 of the world’s cases but a fraction of that population figure? Hmm???
“Seek And Ye Shall Find”. The more people you test, the more people you will find with coronavirus. Total numbers don’t matter. What matters is serious cases per capita.
Saved me the exact keystrokes.
A grim milestone?
If a Rat were in charge, it would be a testament to an aggressive testing campaign.
GTH, NPR
“Because we’ve TESTED MORE than any other country”
Yes We are a larger population than other countries and have more resources so we would have tested (more numbers) more.
If you look at Tests/1M pop at Worldometer, you will see we are not at the top for per 1m pop.
Well, nobody in the establishment press wants to question China’s numbers (not bite the hand that’s likely feeding them).
So what? Most likely thought they just had a cold. This crap “statistic: is mainly used to frighten those tending towards being frightened. Screw the chinese commie virus. Screw those who want to destroy FREE America.
Ditto
When demons are about to be expelled from someone, they flail around verbally and physically inside the person, saying anything, making threats, making up stories to prevent them from leaving. Same here!
Thanks to pburgh01 for the above observation.
Let the Trump curse handle the fake news peddlers!
Why are we testing for antibodies of people who never went to a doctor or hospital for the virus. We did not do that for the Flu. Waste of Money, lots of money
The Antibodies does not guarantee us immunity anyway. I have seen reports of the test not being reliable. Who is getting rich off of this testing...
We should just go back to work, the wave has pass us. We have flatten the curve, it is safe to go back to work.
As with anything related to Progs/Dems/Libs you must define the terms used.
What is a case? How does that differ from an infection? Is the meaning and usage of “case” the same through out all of the entities mentioned for example does Georgia define and measure cases the same as Iowa or the same as NYC?
After, or if, you get a solid definition and you know it is consistently be applied to every usage of the term, you must them place the statistic into context.
As this article came from NPR and I've grown so cynical and the word "unclear" resonates as to the veracity of the report/authors plus liberal neighbors I know well...insist President Trump is to blame for "everything" no matter what the facts are. That propaganda war has almost been won....and that scares the heck out of me!
