I was talking to a friend yesterday about fishing, and when it was going to be possible to do some...

He asks me what I think of Biden and what he's doing, I told him I loved it, he was reversing everything he can that trump has screwed up.

Well...he got lit up fast, said Biden was going to be taking credit for everything trump did. I think what lit him was when I told him he couldn't have things both ways, that when Biden changes trump policies and things go well it isn't because of what trump did, it's because of Biden shifting away from what trump did that wasn't working as well.

This is when he said that the United States was handling c***d better than any other country.

This is what is wrong with the division in this country, it is about half of the country that are operating in a zone that has absolutely no relationship with facts and the t***h. Anyone with a lick of sense could lay out an argument that simply cannot be denied or defended against. A review of 152 countries ranked by deaths per million has us in eighth place from the worst...the worse ones than us are smaller countries that got hammered that completely screwed up their response. Countries that were seen to be abject and dismal failures like Italy are ranked similar to us because they got it and locked things down.

Japan has 126 million people that are jammed on top of each other, they have had less than 6000 people total die...if they had our population they'd have lost less than 20,000 people.

This country has done as badly as is possible as ranked with all other countries, it was not possible to do worse. And until people can start accepting the same facts we will have half of the country believing truly stupidly wrong things.

Here's the ranked nations by deaths per million.

Take away New York and the democratic stupid response and yes, we handled it better than most of the most populous countries. Of course, you'll have to look at percentages and not total numbers since we are really much bigger than most.

LogicallyRight Loc: Chicago

If those damn Democrat Governors had only listened to Trump, how many lives would we have saved. And that is just the beginning.

permafrost Loc: Minnesota

You seem to be saying that all Governors are Democrat, last I checked the majority are Republican.. but not all are in the trump cult..

nwtk2007 Loc: Texas

It was New York that took us near the top in C***d deaths.

PeterS

Well, we are now...oh, you meant under Trump...right!

woodguru

You are being facetious, joking right?

Red states that refused to go along with masks, quarantines, and social distancing were hammered, the ones that went along with trump did the worst.

woodguru

Check your numbers newt, the reality of new york's deaths is not the majority of US deaths, and every state after new york should have learned something, but red states did not.

California and New York are run by Democrats. Not exactly beacons of 5 star rated C****a V***s responses.

PeterS

You do know that we can use google and confirm this, don't you? NY C***d deaths...43,524. Total C***d deaths...461,285. So less than 10% of the nation's C***d deaths belong to NY State.

We lead the world in cases and deaths because Trump did his darnedest to ignore the C***d v***s. I'm assuming for him, out of sight was out of mind. Not to worry though, Sleepy Joe is on the job and this country will be v******ted by summer. Next will be the economy and this time next year, thanks to the massive stimulus Sleepy Joe pushed through--totally against all Republican's effort--the economy will be humming just in time for quarterly e******ns ensuring Democrats not only hold but increase their lead in both houses.

PeterS

Texas and Florida are running neck and neck with them and they are run by Republicans! Per capita, there is no difference between the four!

son of witless

Cases or deaths ?

PeterS

Deaths.

New York accounts for less than 10% of c***d deaths in the US... Still there highest among all the states, but hardly fair to lay the blame solely on New York...

Weewillynobeerspilly Loc: North central Texas

Sooooooo, how is your states death rate looking?
