I believe the US is currently #10 in deaths per capita. A month from now though (i.e, another 25,000 dead) and the US will be eyeing a spot on the podium.

I see there’s a bit of a dip lately, since Trump ordered hospitals to NOT report cases to the CDC.
Should be close to ZERO very soon.

that was I was thinking of; reporting data trough HHS began july 16.
guess when the daily cases started to stall and then fall? sure, could be coincidence…hopefully it is.

Exactly! It’s like he was saying all along you know, the only reason they were doing so bad in the ratings is because they kept actually looking to see how they were doing! Blindfolds are much more effective than masks at stopping anyone from knowing if you’re sick or not.

@Michael_R_Smith @lumbercartel @DiveGirl @ChuckV @Melizmatic – thank you all. the good news is that by the time i lost my sense of taste and smell (which triggered my getting a test), and by the time i got the results yesterday, i was already a week and a half into it and only had fleeting symptoms – which is to say, i may have completely lucked out and am only going through a mild case. tomorrow will be two weeks since my first symptom, and the average right now is 3-4 weeks for the worst of it for mild cases. i’m already able to smell some things again, and i’ve never had a fever since that first day. i’m optimistic, and i’m feeling SUPER fortunate so far.

I was surprised to learn from that article that US only is ranked 24th when it comes to CFR, and 9th when it comes to tests administered tests per capita.

Glad to hear that Franko. We’ll keep our fingers crossed your recovery continues to go smoothly and you’ll be back to your normal smelling self soon.
