The Coronavirus

[Bob Butler 54]

If you see a chart that gives per 10,000 population or lists the number of cases currently active, you might post it. I have a feeling also that if the European Union were listed rather than individual countries, the US would not be the leader, or even close. If you want to compare apples and apples, you would compare the US to the EU, or the nations of Europe against the 50 states. That seems to be an alarmist chart, the things plotted designed to prod the US federal government into action. Choosing to show cumulative, for example, the chart will never come down. Not that the prod is not needed, but the chart does not give the true threat level.

What is the saying? "Figures don't lie, but liars sure figure?"
