When it comes to testing, the US is #1

the UK is #5

Even Brazil and Russia is beating the UK in testing.

What metric do you want? I can point to any and say where you're wrong. We currently are or shortly will be one of the worst in the world regarding COVID. Let me list them for you.
  • #1 in new daily cases
  • #1 in total cases
  • #1 in new daily deaths
  • #1 in total deaths
  • #1 in total cases per capita (in countries greater than 20 million)
  • #6 in total deaths per capita (in countries greater than 20 million)
That last one you want to point to, right? Give it time. We just surpassed France this week for the 6th spot. Every other country is flat in new cases and we're on fire. By year's end we will be near first in EVERY category.

“We’re going to win so much that you’re going to be sick and tired. You’re going to say, ‘Please, please, Mr. President, we’re sick and tired of winning. Please let us have at least one loss. It’s no longer exciting to win.’ And I’m going to say, ‘No way, we’re going to keep winning, and I don’t care if you like it or not.’” - Donald Trump

Promises made, promises kept, right?

If this was really about saving lives, would we not at least want to have that discussion of a treatment? Banning their scientific opinions is fascist to the highest level.

And let's discuss the reporting methods. The death counts.... they are suspicious to say the least. The media should be having a hayday over how the deaths are reported..... but whatever makes orange man look bad.

Call me what you want.... a Trump loving whatever..... but can you at least dispute one of my points above with facts?

Oh and all you lefty democrat lovers.... keep in mind.... Cuomo and Deblasio are the ones who killed thousands by putting COVID patients in nursing homes..... (yes old people, who are high risk, who reside in nursing homes) with their ridiculous policies.

So again, explain why Trump = bad and New York = shining example of COVID handling.
Here’s a guy that gets it. Thank you!

A little hard to believe the stats when every death is contributed to covid no matter the cause of death if patient has covid. 90 year old has heart failure after having years of heart issues... rack up another covid death!

I’m genuinely curious how often that occurs. Sure, the 90 year old had COVID when they died, but a regular flu or cold virus may have also been the straw that broke the camels back.

Also, how are positive tests counted? Let’s say you’re a health care worker and need a negative test to go back to work. You get tested every day for 7 days looking for that negative test. Is that counted as 7 positive tests in the total, even though it’s the same person?

Honest questions I’ve had.

I don’t think we’ll ever get honest answers...

Second, cite a source where CUOMO or DEBLASIO has said the nursing home mistake was a mistake and they owned it. Becuase they do, in fact, own it.
Here is your source:

Europe has a population of 747,674,800, and has had 2,833,333 cases of Covid 19, with 203,934 death. The United States has a total population of 331,000,000 and has had 4,495,014 cases of Covid 19, with 152,070 deaths. So Europe has a population 2.25 times that of the United States, but has 36% fewer total cases, and only 34% more deaths. So yes, Europe is doing FAR better than the United States.

I want to know your answers. Why would that even be suggested?

Or maybe it was preplanned?
Are you under the impression that I was a part of the decision process? Sorry to disappoint you, but I was not part of the decision process and cannot offer you any insight as to why those decisions were made.

I keep seeing people post this conspiracy theory that there is malicious false reporting by coroners nationwide. You think they're misreporting everything as a COVID death, but no one ever backs it up with evidence.

Would it blow your mind if every one of these reported deaths were real? Is this just your denial kicking in? Is it easier to swallow if you think it's fake?
Help me understand why you'd be so quick to assume a coordinated conspiracy rather than believe actual numbers.

Why anyone is arguing politics about a virus is perplexing.
