The death rate in this country is more than double that of Canada, exceeds that of Japan, a country with a vulnerable and elderly population, by a factor of almost 50, and even dwarfs the rates in lower-middle-income countries, such as Vietnam, by a factor of almost 2000. Covid-19 is an overwhelming challenge, and many factors contribute to its severity. But the one we can control is how we behave.

Oh, come on, the irony didn't go over your head. I fed you a straight line. -- 210,000+ Americans will never recover from the incompetence of Donald Trump. |
