China, Pakistan, Nigeria, and Japan have a population of 1.9 billion people.

North and South Dakota have a population of 1.6 million.

The Dakotas had more new Coronavirus cases yesterday than those four countries combined.

I'm not at all sure those Republicans in congress who refused to act to contain the initial small outbreaks agree it's a failure, though they probably regret not thinking it out more.

That means that the Dakotas have 1000X more idiots than all of those countries combined...

It baffles me that anyone is still getting infected. Our family just wears masks when needed and does take out instead of dine in. If we see folks without masks, we just move away. How on earth are 90000/day still getting it when its very easy to avoid? Is every one of them a Trumper? How would anyone but a Trumper get the virus with all we know now??

And the death toll confuses me even more. Its mostly elderly or those with diabetes or obesity who die. If you are in those groups, how can you get it still? So all across America we have people with health conditions still not wearing masks?

Goodness, the stupid in the USA is off the charts.
