The top four nations in COVID cases...

United States, Brazil, India, and Russia.....


The top four countries for cases, and it's not very close, are all run by fascists. Coincidence?

you would have to go back to the beginning and see how they reacted without having to deal with Trump as head of the federal government.

I imagine California and NY would have ended up better off. NY is already in much better position than most states are.

where would these states rank if they were countries. You know, like Florida by itself has more cases/deaths/etc than country XXX.

even if you took all three states out, USA would still be #1.
