Over 100,000 Americans have now died from this pandemic- the most of any country in the world. More relevant is our per capita mortality rate- 30.69/100K- which means we are doing better than Sweden(41.44) but far worse than our neighbor Canada(18.55),- and three times worse than Germany(10.16) and some 60 times worse than South Korea.
How does mortality differ across countries? Examining the number of deaths per confirmed case and per 100,000 population. A global comparison.

There is no cultural reason why Canada and Germany should have lower per capita mortality rates than the United States- this is a result of a lack of national leadership by President Trump and his administration.
If the United States had the leadership of say Germany- the number of Americans dead from coronavirus would likely be in the range of 30-40,000- instead of 100,000.
This is what Trump should be measured by- this is what the voters need to remember in November- how many Americans needlessly died under Trump's watch.
Forget about all of Trump's pettiness, ignore his attempts to divert attention from the pandemic- and remember the thousands of dead Americans who died due to a lack of leadership by President Trump.
You don't even know if you can believe the numbers. Secondly the medical experts have said Trump was listening to them and acted on their advice so... your post is bullshit at this time when people should be just working together.
The "science" has also changed its opinion on things like is wearing a mask even important. You also like so many others reserve your hate for an American... namely Trump... when you have nothing to ******* say about what the Chinese communist government did.. who is currently oppressing the people of Hong Kong.... and is an actual enemy to the United States.... And you have nothing to say.. nothing.
People just like you.. really really Suck and are assholes.
Trump is counting on people not believing any numbers except what he feeds you.

Once again. You have nothing bad to say about the Chinese government who mislead the world.
This thread is not about the Communist Chinese government- but I certainly see that the Trumpkins certainly want to try to change the topic.
Here is what I think about the Chinese communist government- I think that they are dictatorial murderous assholes. I have never praised China for its handling of the Coronavirus pandemic- unlike Donald Trump who repeatedly praised China and its leadership for its handling of the pandemic. Feel free to try to find any post of mine that praises China like Trump did.
Somewhat off topic but its worth looking back again at how much Trump adored China- until he needed a scapegoat:
