Being the “United” States we can't even be united at a time like this has been one of our biggest weaknesses
Around 3:02, a guy says that the “state's 90 million residents are told to stay home.” What state would that be? A state in India?
Health system is week
The highest mortality rates are actually documented in Europe – Spain, Italy, the UK and France. Why not discuss the UK's case for example? It was around 10 days behind mainland Europe on the pandemic itinerary and yet managed to become one of the deadliest hotspots.
Stop referring to you as America. You are just part of North America.
Perhaps there is an inflection point though – perhaps americans already get tired of winning.
It’s NOT the stock market that worried Trump. It’s his re-election.
How many people in the US have covid19 per 100k people?And how does that compare to the rest of the world.The statistic saying the US has the most Covid19 patients disproportionately represents counties with larger populations
I agree with the US gov making health policy a state by state basis.Why should somebody from Alaska have to deal with the same policy as someone in Florida
Even Trump will have to fear the people eventually when the election is coming. In places around the world there people have no choice over their leaders, they could only accept the whatever number their government make up and all end up having to give praises to their superior leader. I’m an American living in Hong Kong, where our number is low totally because of the actions of the individuals. We had the 2003 SARS to teach us not to believe in the central government from the north.
No Natinal Health Care. Only a comprehensive All people accountable HEALTH System could have minimize the death toll. HEALTH IS WEALTH.
Because American is busy saving the world but forgot to take care the home.
can't believe they quoted Hannity he's not even a real journalist
The numbers are so high because people are in the streets protesting to be let outside and think that they can pray their problems away. Mixed with a government that clearly doesn’t care about their own people and are willing to sacrifice lives for money. America seems like a lost cause at this point. Other countries have tried to give them advice on how to beat it, they don’t listen
