If you catch Corona virus it's a flip of the coin whether it hits you or passes you by , if it hits you it hits hard.

According to my numbers, which I derived from worldometers.info, the USA is on par with the EU in terms of percentage of worldwide cases. That is, both the US and the EU each have about a third of the world total.
We are looking at this wrong by splitting the EU by country. If one insists in doing that, we should also split by US state.
Note, I counted UK, Switzerland and Denmark as EU countries since they're part of the continent of Europe.
Country.............. EU.............. USA
Total Cases.......... 1,280,493 .... 1,224,244
New Cases........... 11,004........ 11,409
Total Deaths......... 140,929...... 71,136
New Deaths.......... 1,501......... 1,215
Total Recovered..... 524,123...... 192,177
Active Cases......... 614,847...... 960,931
Serious, Critical..... 13,923....... 16,168
Tot Cases/1M pop... 55,188....... 3,699
Deaths/1M pop...... 4,433......... 215
Total Tests ........... 13,148,489.. 7,599,814
Tests/1M pop......... 828,870...... 22,960
Ever wonder why those of us on the US are ready to get on with life? Look at "Total Deaths", "Tot Cases/1M pop" and "Deaths/1M pop". In the US, it's a drop in the proverbial bucket.
According to Google my state, Georgia, has 29K cases with 1,246 deaths. The closest European (but not EU) country is Switzerland with 30K cases and 1,790 deaths.
Also, Europe is waaay ahead of us in total deaths and many European nations have much higher rates of infection. European nations (I’m including the UK and Ireland) have suffered about 135,000 deaths so far compared to 71,000 for the USA. A number of European nations have much higher, or at least equal, rates of infection compared to us, including some highly socialized nations liberals think are just about perfect, like Belgium, the Netherlands, France, the UK, Sweden and Switzerland. The Left fixates on our total numbers of deaths and infections, instead of comparing deaths and infections per capita.

You are stupid if you think the infection numbers are made up to wreck the economy.

Not a single person posting this nonsense works in the medical field nor has seen first hand what the virus can do.
Since we are so stupid, why don’t you explain for us how the US is 4.3% of the worlds population, yet somehow has 33% if the worlds infections?
Don’t forget about the plethora of doctors and nurses in the US, who have reported that they are being pressured to report every death as Covid.
