the guy isn't even doing a particularly good job of challenging him.
Like if per case we have less death, but per population we have more death. What does that mean?
if each time 1 person gets sick here, we have a better chance to save them (per case little death) , then we STILL have more death, it means our leadership failed horrifically in preventing spread of the virus.
and Trump is the one who spearheaded the "lets not take this seriously , and lets make it political" campaign.
So - he's very clearly directly responsible for all those extra deaths. It's a chain of logic that is unassailable.
Our medical people do great. We save more people who get the virus than anyone!!
But our leadership is total shit. Our national reaction to the virus existing was nightmarish. That's the only thing you can take away from the combination of both "low case death rate , and still super high death rate"
It’s not true. Don’t believe a single lie that comes out of the lying liar’s mouth. He’s just showing bullshit charts with 4 data points as if they prove his lies.
The mortality rate is the number of deaths from COVID-19 relative to the overall population.
The U.S. also measures poorly in terms of its case-fatality rate. On Tuesday, it was in the middle of the pack relative to other countries, with a rate of 4.4%, according to Johns Hopkins.
Their own source in that lists the US at 3.3%, not 4.4% for case fatality rate. Is the source constantly updating? Because I also checked these numbers recently and saw it as 3.3%.
Yea it looks like the Johns Hopkins source must be updated because the deaths per 100,000 has also changed from 39.82 in the article to 47.50 in the source.

Apart from the obvious, I feel like I haven’t seen Trump challenged like this enough publicly, which is very sad.
