If I were you, I'd vote for Biden; the candidate with dementia.United States VS. Taiwan on Covid-19: May 1, 2020 TO August 1, 2020.
UNITED STATES POPULATION: 332,639,102
TAIWAN POPULATION: 23,603,049
UNITED STATES: May 1, 2020 TO August 1, 2020
COVID-19 Infections - 3,633,096
COVID -19 deaths - 92,129
TAIWAN: May 1, 2020 TO August 1, 2020
COVID-19 Infections - 45
COVID-19 deaths - 1
If the United States had been doing as well as TAIWAN over the past 3 months on a per capita basis, it would of had less than 700 infections and less than 15 deaths.
TAIWAN has for the most part returned to normal. Bars, Clubs, sporting events, churches, schools, places of work in TAIWAN are open. Mask wearing is only mandatory on public transportation. New infections when they occur are contained through Testing, Contact Tracing, Isolation of potentially infected people for 14 days. Anyone coming into the country, even citizens of Taiwan, are put into isolation for 14 days immediately. They are only allowed out after multiple tests show they are negative for the virus. On average in TAIWAN, most days see no new infections. No one has died in TAIWAN since May 11, 2020. If a new outbreak were to occur in TAIWAN, the mechanisms are in place to shut down if need be to kill the virus outbreak. Life and the economy have returned to normal without any sacrifice to public health in Taiwan. This is because of sound national government policy in the early days of the pandemic and continued monitoring and assessment of the situation.
In deep contrast to TAIWAN, the UNITED STATES is currently suffering an average of 64,000 new infections and 1,129 new deaths, EVERY DAY! The situation in the United States is worse than the March/April time period in terms of infections. Back in mid-April, new daily infections peaked in the United States at an average of 32,000 per day, half of the current average daily infection rate now. Average daily deaths were running at about double the current average rate but that seems less like an improvement given that the daily death rate in the United States has been rising consistently every day since JULY 5, 2020. There is no national strategy in the United States for containing and destroying the virus. You have 50 states that are operating independently of each other in terms of policies about what is open and mask wearing. This strategy has been a TOTAL FAILURE! The United States has the 9th highest rate of per capita infection out of the 197 countries on the planet. The United States has the 10th highest rate of per capita deaths out of the 197 countries on the planet.

CDC director acknowledges hospitals have a monetary incentive to overcount coronavirus deaths - Washington Examiner
U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Robert Redfield agreed that some hospitals have a monetary incentive to overcount coronavirus deaths as they do deaths for other diseases.“I think you’re correct in that we’ve seen this in other disease processes, too. Really, in the HIV...www.washingtonexaminer.com“I think you’re correct in that we’ve seen this in other disease processes, too. Really, in the HIV epidemic, somebody may have a heart attack but also have HIV — the hospital would prefer the [classification] for HIV because there’s greater reimbursement,” Redfield said during a House panel hearing Friday when asked by Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer about potential “perverse incentives.”
This is what happens when you have government involved in health care.
You left-wingers screwed this country. Hospitals have incentives to inflate covid-19 deaths, and you use that to claim our health care is bad? Shame on you trash.
At least Democrats don't laugh at the virus, pretend its just seasonal flue, and assume it will disappear in the warm weather of summer as TRUMP so often stated.
