counts Saint Maarten, which is the Dutch side of a split Caribbean (Saint Martin is the French side) which is only 41,000 in population and shot up the charts today due to 7 deaths (they had 2).

If you take away microstates, the US is the 11th worst in terms of deaths per 1m pops, and will keep on climbing I fear, especially if Rump opens up the country in 17 days or so.

Thank you for this realty check, SunSeeker.. Cha Apr 2020 #1

Reality is the enemy of right wing bullshit! SunSeeker Apr 2020 #3

Yes it is and it will bring them down. Cha Apr 2020 #9

A couple of things come immediately to mind. PoindexterOglethorpe Apr 2020 #2

By population, we are not even close to China and India, yet they have lower rates. SunSeeker Apr 2020 #6

How confident can we be in their numbers? PoindexterOglethorpe Apr 2020 #7

How confident are you in our numbers? SunSeeker Apr 2020 #13

No, I am not saying it is all fake news. PoindexterOglethorpe Apr 2020 #15

So you trust China's numbers over Cuomo's? former9thward Apr 2020 #24

I trust Cuomo's more than China, but even NY's numbers are underreported. SunSeeker Apr 2020 #34

We are way down the list. former9thward Apr 2020 #42

So now that it is obvious the data doesn't support your assertion... SunSeeker Apr 2020 #43

The point is not to trust China's numbers jimfields33 Apr 2020 #26

The point is, even if you totally disregard China's numbers, Trump's response has been awful. SunSeeker Apr 2020 #35

I'm Confident In Our Numbers ProfessorGAC Apr 2020 #33

I live in CA and love Newsom. But I know our numbers are underreported. SunSeeker Apr 2020 #36

100 % of them dont have Trump as president. nt. drray23 Apr 2020 #4

They actually care for their people and hulmanity. Cha Apr 2020 #10

A word of caution DFW Apr 2020 #8

Oh please. Germany is testing twice more per capita than the US. SunSeeker Apr 2020 #11

Here in Germany, we are not impressed DFW Apr 2020 #16

Everything is relative. You have universal health coverage. We don't. SunSeeker Apr 2020 #17

Where in the world did you hear that we had universal health coverage here? DFW Apr 2020 #19

Germany does have univsersal multi-payer coverage. SunSeeker Apr 2020 #20

Do you live there? Somebody from Germany gives a on the ground observation jimfields33 Apr 2020 #27

I go by documented evidence. SunSeeker Apr 2020 #37

But no other countries have trump duforsure Apr 2020 #12

Love it! SunSeeker Apr 2020 #21

I've noticed customerserviceguy Apr 2020 #22

Thousands of dead Americans because of Trump's corruption will ALWAYS look bleak. SunSeeker Apr 2020 #32

All I can say is customerserviceguy Apr 2020 #39

This isn't about comparing Trump to Hillary. It's about comparing Trump to South Korea. SunSeeker Apr 2020 #41

Another way to look at this KatyMan Apr 2020 #23

Exactly jimfields33 Apr 2020 #28

What is that clappy "truth"? That we're the best of the 12 worst of 195 countries? SunSeeker Apr 2020 #31

Any way you look at it, 94% of the world's countries have lower deaths per 1 million. nt SunSeeker Apr 2020 #30

1) It is not only right wing yacking about "per capitia" even on DU its has been pointed out. jmg257 Apr 2020 #25

What's so sad is so many countries relied on us to see what to do, and Trump completely botched it. SunSeeker Apr 2020 #40
