Yawn. ZZzzzzzz. Nothing here lately but a bunch of personal and anti-Trump attacks. Sad. Nothing related to the Covid-19 outbreak. How sad.

Here some news:

There are already 14 deaths in USA with only 233 cases. That's pretty much the highest death rate on this planet.  It either means that you don't detect most cases in USA or it means that your hospitals don't have what they need to help those who have it.

Meanwhile your President believes there is no country better in handling this than USA and there is a President who still believed the standard flu vaccine should be enough a few days ago.

But hey, just pretend as if Trump is just perfect. At least he loves guns to save the population!

14 deaths from 233 cases is hardly enough sample size to claim 'Highest death rate on this planet'.

We don't know any information on those individuals for example their health status/age or the circumstances to which they contracted it (possibly from holiday) or any information about healthcare recieved.
