USA COVID WORST CASE? NOT USA ! SEE RECENT DATA

The USA has a fraction of the rate of covid 19 infections per million inhabitants and one of the lowest rates of mortality relative to confirmed cases than other similar nations.  

The USA is not the worst case of Covid 19 mismanagement and unpreparedness that the politicized US main stream media would like to portray.  In fact —unbiased data—shows that its response is better than average when compared to similar nations.  The US media outlets are so infected with another pandemic—Trump manic hatred—that they can not even present scientific data in an unbiased manner.  The data below is from Le Monde—the French  daily paper of record.   

Top Ten Nations Reporting Deaths From Covid 19

*Deaths per confirmed cases

“Coronavirus: la crise sanitare  aura des effets pendant des “decennies” salon L’OMS”  Le Monde August 1, 2020  Data from AFP

From the LeMonde data we can see that the USA ( 8th down the list) when compared to other highly populated affluent and advanced states is Well down the list—and appears to be dealing with the corona virus pandemic as well as can be expected—and certainly not worse than other similar advanced states. These data are of course fraught with difficulties when attempting a comparison—One must recon with population size, citiizen regimentation or lack of it, level of personal freedom in a nation, genetic homogeneity, cultural practices, existing morbidity factors, rates of obesity and heavy smoking, etc.,etc.,  etc.,  all can have an effect on infection and death rates. 

According  to Le Monde data there  were @700,000 confirmed deaths world wide out of total of  @18 million confirmed cases. Thus the world mortality rate for covid 19 is  @ 4%. If that is accurate then covid is 40 times more deadly than the common flu with a rate of only 0.1%  It’s noteworthy that the USA is slightly below the world average (at @ 3% mortality) and well below the other top ranked sates with regard to this disease, suggesting that our hospital care and medical response is better than average. 

It’s quite apparent to all of us now (See; Washington Post “Mapping World Wide Spread of Corona Virus “ August 1, 2020) that  the Washington Post, the NYT and other similar main stream media outlets are in the business of making the USA look bad—in every way they can—so as to deflate the political future of President Trump in the coming elections.  But it is unconscionable that a newspaper of record such as the Post will go to such lengths in a purely informative piece of journalism —to manipulate nformation which may be critical in the national response to the pandemic.  Such behavior is irresponsible—yellow— journalism .  

But what the actual unbiased data shows —see tabulation above—is that the USA is responding well and responsibly to the threats of the virus.  The actual data gives NO ONE  license to claim that the President or administration has been remiss in its handling of the pandemic. Though some media source go to great lengths even to manipulating pandemic data to make that seem so.  It is the Trump manic derangement syndrome in action.  Sadly in attempting to unseat, delegitimize and politically damage President Trump they hurt us all and embarrass themselves.
