USA #1 ... USA #1 ... USA #1

Well Trump has done it. We had more new cases of Covid-19 yesterday (13,355) than any other country. Spain was #2 with 7457 new cases, and Italy #3 with #5210.

We're still #3 on total number of cases, but it's really close and another 24 hours and we'll be #1 there too!!

While we're currently only 5th on new deaths per day, I'm sure by this time next week we'll be #1 there too!!

Go USA!! Go USA!! Go USA!!

Is this really needed?

They are most likely higher than is being reported. However, I am not sure, it just seems that low testing results in less reported cases.

I saw this article on Buzzfeed (not sure if it is a good source for posting here at DU) and it fit my narrative.

Plus here in Houston I read that test sites are so low on test kits that they are thinking of shutting down altogether if they don't get a resupply.

This was two days ago and I can't find anything more recent.

Stay well

Yeah, I suspect all the numbers are all way low. Given the very few scientific tests, a giant population of asymptomatic people are testing positive. I'm hoping antibody tests will be common quickly and help stop this.

This is all a hoax to hurt tRump. It's not real, just ask Landon Spradlin. He'll tell you straight to your face how this is going to go. Believe me.
