    Trump says US topping world virus cases is 'badge of honour'
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-52733220

    “ US President Donald Trump has argued it is "a badge of honour" that the US has the world's highest number of confirmed Covid-19 infections.

    "I look at that as, in a certain respect, as being a good thing because it means our testing is much better," he said at the White House.

    The US has 1.5 million coronavirus cases and nearly 92,000 deaths, according to Johns Hopkins University.

      Well, the highest number of cases could be reflective of improved testing.

      Perhaps a better metric might be the CFR?

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        Only if there is a vaccine soon or antibodies really work does any count at this time matter. And people are arguing you can get it again. Can you get the narrative straight?

          The antibody news from South Korea is very promising.

            I watch a few minutes of Trump each day. Sorry, that's all I can take.

            But it seems to me, that his whole spiel is to rah-rah the country, to try to keep people's spirits up. Sure, he fails once in awhile, but that is better than, what, "damit we're all gonna die, the economy will be destroyed, those that don't die from the virus will die trying to get food, no way we can make it until a vaccine is found, and a vaccine likely won't be found, we're doooooooomed."

            Better?

              I compare it to Bush after 9/11 or even Obama during the last depression. Paint the rosy scenario...

                          It's just a math thing.
                          If half the country is bullshit, then of course the other half is bullshit.
                          Both are right!
                          What a country.

                          Or, did you mean Ax? He was just kidding around, obviously could not have been serious. Maybe just polishing trolling skills. That's it. I'm sure. Trolling is fun.
