I am so tired of winning.

From this source the data is not reassuring in the least.

Since government, infrastructure and culture have an impact on the spread and treatment, the base line I am using is the world totals vs the USA.
Total Cases per 1 million population, the world has 215. USA 1,478. Deaths per 1 million population, the world has 13.0 We have 54.
It can be argued that some of that population of the world is isolated or under-reporting. Probably true, but isolated generally means smaller populations and I suspect that we fit into the under-reporting category with multiple causes. We will probably have to count the total dead and make estimates from previous years and adjust the traffic fatalities to guess at the truth.

So our death rate and case rate exceed the world rates by more than a multiple of 4. Are you tired of winning yet?

18,000+ winners in just 45 days, imagine the number in another 45? Brainfodder Apr 2020 #2

He said we'd be tired of so much whining. And he was right. I'm sick to death of his whining.

P. S. Are we great yet?
