The US is getting closer to 1/3 of all known infections in the world

I check periodically. We’ve been up near 30% for awhile but have now exceeded that. Think about it, supposedly the richest most advanced country in the world. And I don’t know exactly but I think we only have about 5% of the worlds population. So much winning. I’m tired of all the winning

I know that the data isn’t great but the magnitude says it all. At least in Africa the are pushing drinking liquor as a cure, not chlorox.

But they bought the "richest" and "most advanced" didn't they? Ha!

That only applies to a certain caste who then allow that image to be foisted on people who then think they are somehow in a minority or didn't do something right.

For far too many of us, this is a rather poor country and we get very little of what is most advanced, oh, like dentistry for instance.
