Considering that the countries most demographically similar to the U.S.A. in Europe and Latin America have similar death rates, your reasoning is ridiculous.
Deaths per million:
Peru - 1039
Belgium - 974
Spain - 767
Brazil - 749
Bolivia - 742
Chile 739 USA - 709
Mexico - 702
UK - 680
Italy - 634
Columbia - 610
Sweden - 587
France - 560
Didn't you see where he "scientifically" estimated that Trump is only responsible for, I dunno, say, 150k deaths? Don't you dare say the left blames Trump!
As I watch a Republicans ignore the mass death around us, I'm starting to get this sneaking suspicion that the 10 investigations over 4 years into the deaths of 4 Americans in Benghazi was maybe not undertaken in good faith.

I love it when people make dumbass false equivalencies and then end it with a smartass thumbs up like they think they made some great point!
Oh please. No one blames Trump for things like that. They blame him for 4% of the worlds population, and almost 25% of the deaths. Is trump making things worse? Well given his propaganda on masks not working etc...yeah. And thats why we have so many more deaths. He FAILED us. That doesnt mean we blame him for the virus. Nor do those who can see other countries numbers explode blame Trump for that, or for the wave we are entering. Know what IS Trumps fault? The baseline infections we started with.
Almost every other country has handled this better then us. In our country it could have been us having 30K dead for example if handled well. Instead....230K dead. Thats why I try to avoid blaming Trump for 230K dead. I think he is probably only responsible for 150,000 dead Americans not 230K. This spike? Lets see how it goes. Will other countries drop their spike back down, or will they just.....explode in cases? And how do we do under Trump?
I blame Trump for underperforming as a leader in comparison to the world. I dont blame him for Covid showing up. And people on the right keep trying to claim that folks are blaming him for covid because they want to talk about that, not about how we do in comparison to the rest of the world.
We report the most deaths because we are the #3 most populated country on earth behind China and India and we have a free press and advanced health care system and access. China and India are full of crap and we know they don't report their casualties honestly.
Tell me a executive order (not making laws, a President doesn't make laws) that Trump refuses to pass that could have saved the people that died. Name it. Put the Army in every town and city and build new prisons and lock down the country and control the press? he doesn't have the power for that and China proves that doesn't work. So unless you have the cure or can deal with it without killing the economy then We have to live with it. There is no tax hike that will deal with this.

These countries are either much poorer (with worse infrastructures) or much more densely populated.
UK has 432 people per m2, but the US has 36 people per m2. However, the US still has more deaths by ratio.
I hear there is a test that you just breath into now, is that being employed in a lot of places? And are false positives and multiple tests subtracted out of these figures or no? I know of 5 people with false positives who retested a day later and were negative. They tested so they could go back to work...and they did.
Theres the data, and the facts. Stop trying to claim nonsense that makes it sound like we are doing well.
