Not to mention we are still leading in spikes in growing number of cases. Totally leader material /s

Oh, being #1 in number of cases and deaths is bad? Trump told me it's the best just like his positive test results from his very very good, the best medical report.

saying she approves of us being number 1 of this killer virus for her leader.

So sad. That is why the rest of world is not accepting us as visitors in their countries. Damn.

USA 130,000 deaths in population of 330 million

Uruguay 28 deaths in population of 3.4 million (since March 13 first case reported).

Quick math with some rounding, USA has 100 times the gente de Uruguay.
Since Uruguay doesn't have 2,800 deaths, I am willing to say, "Yah the USA is a leader with exceptional people, with 100 times too many covidiots."
Happy to be some random expat who chose wisely.
