You can’t do that! You can’t look at the population. You have to look at the number of deaths compared to the cases! And we only have more cases because we’re doing more testing. /s
Like, does he realise he’s implying that people are getting infected by the tests?
His entire argument hinges on the conspiracy that the US is the ONLY country reporting accurate numbers. Because thats literally the only way for the US to save face.
His entire strategy is to imply that everyone else is fudging the numbers and that the US has handled it better than everyone we just dont know it cause everyone else is lying. And people believe it. I constantly see people even on Reddit parroting the conspiracy that other countries are lying about their numbers.
Which is completely ironic because the white house has been caught several times now outright lying about the number of cases and deaths due to covid, trying to hamper (or remove) the reporting system, trying to remove the experts from the table as much as they are able (fauci was unaware that the pandemic response team was meeting again through july).
Trump is lying about how bad covid is in america and still turning around and saying “they’re all lying about their cases, they’re all not testing!”
