Mexico has 187,187 deaths in 2,097,194 cases for an 8.9% mortality rate. The US mortality rate is 1.8%...so yes, Mexico is about 8 times more deadly than the US in Covid...oh wait thats not the misinformation you gave.I'm sure that's a factor, but if you take into account that Mexico has only tested about 1/3 as many as us, that still would be less than the US, which has 8X as much.Could the low number of cases found in Mexico be due to the extremely low number of tests given?WorldometersWe should be getting them tested before releasing them; I can't believe they aren't. But Covid is less prevalent in Mexico and Central America than the US, so your stereotype of disease ridden strangers invading the country is pretty weak.I agree the administration should give us the figures. I read an article a couple days ago saying it was the most illegal border crossings since 2004. (So much for the Wall.) Worse than the Obama or Trump surges. But the source remained anonymous because he is not authorized to make the information public.
I'm very disappointed that Joe is not being open about it. The surge is due to conditions in Central America and yes, hopes that Biden will let more of them in. Trying to pretend it's not happening by saying "I don't know," is really lame.
Well, so much for all the sturm und drang of, "Covid is SO AWFUUUUL!! It's the worst thing EVER!!!" If it doesn't justify closing our border to possibly infected people, then I don't ever want to hear another leftist sniveling at me about how Americans have to allow their economy and lives to be destroyed over it.
Less prevalent according to whom?
And guess what? Covid ain't the only disease in the world, and certainly not the only disease illegals are likely to be carrying.
Remind me, from how close to the border are you lecturing me about this? Because I've lived most of my life an hour's drive from it.
