US, Russia, Brazil, India and Mexico: What do they have in common regarding COVID-19?

[DonaldsRump]

Good read from BuzzFeed:

These Countries Have The Highest COVID-19 Infection Rates. This Is What The US Has In Common With Them.

“The US is no longer an example for other countries to follow.”


The pandemic has put the United States in unusual and humbling global company.

Once viewed as a beacon of government competence and a model for public health, the US has fumbled the response to the coronavirus pandemic even more than countries known for widespread corruption, poor healthcare, and ubiquitous poverty — to the shock of many around the world. By many measures, the US is now faring worse than Mexico, Brazil, India, and Russia.

This is not lost on people in those countries, many of whom are watching the situation unfold in the US with shock and bewilderment.

3. Keep an eye on India.

Their cases are rising daily. Right now they are reporting over 75,000 cases a day, and every day that number goes up. Over a thousand deaths each and every day. And this is assuming their reporting is accurate. I wouldn't be surprised if their cases and deaths are vastly underreported.
