    All the more reason to keep expanding testing, which our feckless federal government is completely dropping the ball on. So far we've tested at a per capita rate of 0.0067. Some of that is a function of density, but countries like Canada, Australia, and fucking Russia are testing more than us. Pathetic.

    And yet the USA is #1 in the world for confirmed cases. 3x more than #2. Seems odd that two countries that border one another have vastly different results. The country that is doing an amazing job of testing has 20,000 confirmed cases. The country that is doing so poorly has 435,000. I'm not sure but I believe that the two countries took action around the same time to curb this scourge. Interesting difference. What (money) could be (money) the difference (money) in the two countries (money) confirmed case totals (money)?
    It's almost as if some of you are starting to understand that healthcare based on the profit model is inferior to the model used in most other industrialized countries.

    Everyone in Spain, France and Italy says so.

    Anyone who pays any attention at all knows the cases and deaths are undercounted. The only question is how much they are undercounted.

    Testing is minimal and scattershot. Another thing Daddy lies to you about.

    Noted maffmatician weighs in.

    Thud.
