And don't forget the deaths. They are a few weeks behind Germany and they already have more deaths per capita while most likely being undercounted. Not sure if they'll be able to reach the deaths per capita of Italy, Spain and France, but they'll sure come close to it.

They're already getting close just in cases per capita, so I expect them to reach death per capita, too

The US are really climbing up the ranks here

I've stopped to pay much attention to confirmed cases. It is obvious from the death counts that the countries with the highest death tolls have a significantly undercounted cases. And since the US fanboys reject all total counts because their country is soooo YUGE, the only thing I'm looking at right now are deaths per population. To get to the numbers Spain has right now the US needs 100k deaths. By the time they reached that number Spain will still be much further ahead.

Imagine the disaster if this crisis ends and the US has fewer deaths per capita than European countries with actual healthcare.
