Those 5 European countries have about the same population as the 50 US states.  Yet, the US has only about half as many deaths.

The fact that the US has more cases just shows how much better our testing program is than the average in Europe.

If that reflects on Trump, it reflects very positively.

The USA now is catching up to have as many or more deaths as the EU. It still has 2400 deaths a day, as opposed to just 100-300 a day in the large EU countries. Given Trump's refusal to act, the USA will have many more deaths than those 4 EU countries and Russia. The stats now are about 64,000 total deaths in the USA and about 82,000 in those 5 countries.

The brexited UK, led by a Trump clone, and which initially followed Trump's methods, is now the 4th worst-infected nation and has over 600 deaths a day. The UK should be grouped with its former colony, and is considered the country most like the USA today in all respects.

The USA still has fewer tests per capita (per million pop) than the larger and hard-hit nations of Europe. No, tests are STILL not being offered to the people, nor are masks. Only certain people even qualify for tests. Trump has insisted on developing its own tests, making us wait forever, and is knocking the WHO instead of making use of the tests it has provided to other nations like Germany and South Korea who do far more testing than the USA does, and thus have kept their infections and deaths down.

This and the results reflect on Trump very negatively, except of course among his stubborn supporters who refuse to take account of any facts, except for Kelly Ann Conway's "alternative facts."

I see now that in Brazil, another country mis-led by a Trump clone, cases and deaths are rising fast despite poor testing. Brazil has now knocked China out of the top 10!
