US is 'rounding the corner into a calamity,' expert says, with Covid-19 deaths projected to double soon
Thank you, President Trump, for the responsible example you have set for the country. Doubt the science, mock the health professionals, dismiss all concerns, pit the rural population against the urban population, make America great again! Such leadership.
The US has now reported more than 100,000 infections every day for 26 consecutive days. The daily average in the week to Friday was more than 166,000 -- almost 2.5 times higher than the summer's peak counts in July.
The US just had a million cases in one week.
Here are the
total number of cases other countries have had since the pandemic began.
UK: 1.6 million
Italy: 1.5 million
Germany: 1.02 million
Canada: 356,000
Japan: 139,000
South Korea: 33,000
Australia: 28,000
New Zealand: 2,000
This didn't have to happen. What if Trump had told the MAGAtards to listen to the public health professionals? What if he told congressional Republicans to work with the Democrats and come up with a corona virus relief program as we see in some of the European countries where business expenses and employee incomes are subsidized for the duration of the pandemic? What if he'd recommended wearing a mask early in the outbreak and decided not to hold massive campaign rallies?
Something is seriously wrong in the USA.
