Coronavirus pandemic: Tracking the global outbreak

^ That's a link that's worth a look as it is packed with graphs and statistics. Thanks.

Two things that I particularly noticed:-
i) on some graphs, it looks like they are comparing like with like, until you notice that the vertical axis is different by as much as a factor of ten.
ii) to the discredit of both the US and the UK, we are right near the top of the world chart. As Brazil is now up there too, there seems to be some truth to the idea that populist male leaders have, out of their own ignorant hubris, created disasters for their respective countries. Females leaders (Merkle and the NZealand leader) have instead actually protected their citizens, by taking science-based precautions both promptly and seriously.

Only about half of Americans say they would get a COVID-19 vaccine if the scientists working furiously to create one succeed, according to a new poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research

It's bizarre to me that the richest country in the world has such a problem shutting down it's economy and taking care of it's citizens during a pandemic pretending that we can't afford it.

If our economy really crumbles that easily then it never was good in the first place.

More so, it's a scare tactic pieces of garbage like Trump use so the stock market doesn't look bad during the elections.

Telling people to die for the economy, what the **** has this economy done for me? Nothing. It's over stressed me and deprived me of much needed resources despite consistently doing hard labor that makes me feel like Sisyphus everyday. **** the economy.

"Every single day of this crisis this State Government Committee in Pennsylvania has met so that their members could line up one after one after one and explain that it was safe to go back to work," he said. "During that time period they were testing positive. They were notifying one another. And they didn’t notify us."

"I never ever, ever knew that the Republican leadership of this state would put so many of us at risk for partisanship to cover up a lie," he said during the nearly 12-minute tirade. "And that lie is that we're all safe from COVID."

...

Rep. Russ Diamond, R-Lebanon, said on Twitter, "Lefties whine because I self-quarantined but didn't get tested after possible COVID 'contact.' Confirmed by my doc: No reason for testing, even if I could get tested without symptoms. I feel like a million bucks!"
