Every time Trump claims "victory" or "success" with his coronavirus response

We should point out this:

The United States and South Korea identified their first case on the same day.

May 5:
US: almost 25,000 new cases; 2,350 new deaths
SK: 3 new cases, 2 new deaths

May 6:
US: over 25,000 new cases, over 2,500 new deaths (up from May 5 in both)
SK: 2 new cases, 1 new death.

ESPN is going to broadcast Korean baseball lto the US because baseball in the US has been shut down.

One country had a smart leader who met coronavirus aggressively. The other country had Trump.
