We're #1 ,,,,,in incarcerations tooAll those countries with government run healthcare have a higher Chinese virus death rate than the US, including your shithole country.Despite President Donald Trump's efforts to "Make America Great Again," the United States did not even make the top five in an annual ranking of the world's "best" countries published Wednesday by U.S. News & World Report.
The "Best Countries" index, published alongside the BAV Group consultancy and the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School, ranks nations based on a range of categories, including its allure as a travel destination, business friendliness, cultural influence, modernness, entrepreneurship, quality of life, heritage, power and growth. Based on a combination of these metrics, Switzerland took the number one spot this year, followed by Japan, Canada, Germany and the United Kingdom in the top five.
The graphic below provided by Statista illustrates the rankings in the U.S. News and World Report ranking of the world's best countries. We are #1 in Arms spending
Each and every one of the countries in the Top 5 has cradle to the grave social programs, universal government funded health care, fair wages and protections for workers, and high quality FREE or low cost publically funded education right up to the a 4 year university degree.
All of the the things that the USA "can't afford". None of these countries is paying over 2% on military. All of these countries put their people ahead of their corporations, and income and wealth inequity is being addressed. Their people aren't rioting, but then police aren't murdering their people in the streets. Millions of people aren't getting sick in any of these countries, and 113,000 haven't died.
40 years of Republican economic and social policies. 3 economic crashes. 30 million out of work. Why are you still voting for Republican policies of disease, death and destruction?
No country has the rate of disease and death that the USA has. 113,000 people dead - 348 per million of population, and still rising. Infections and deaths in the USA continue unabated, and are still rising in more than 20 states, including Texas and Florida.
COVID Live - Coronavirus Statistics - Worldometer
Live statistics and coronavirus news tracking the number of confirmed cases, recovered patients, tests, and death toll due to the COVID-19 coronavirus from Wuhan, China. Coronavirus counter with new cases, deaths, and number of tests per 1 Million population. Historical data and info. Daily...www.worldometers.info
Japan has 919 deaths - 7 deaths per million of population, Canada - 7900 - 211 deaths per million, Germany - 8800 deaths - 106 deaths per million of population, Switzerland - 1900 deaths - 224 per million. All these countries are much lower than the USA, and all of the countries in the top 5 are on the downward slope of infection, and death.
Only the UK has a higher rate of death per million of population at 608, but the UK is on the downside of their infection, and the USA is not. The UK also has an strong man leader who ignored the pandemic until it was too late. Once Boris got sick and ended up in the ICU, he took it more seriously, and started listening to the experts more.
