This is pathetic (Covid)
In the past 10 days, the United States has recorded eight times as many new covid infections per capita as the world at large. This is a national sickness that is not confined to the virus
Our country is sick in many ways, and not just from the Covid virus.
In the past 10 days, our rate of new Covid-19 infections has increased by 150%, measured by a rolling 14-day average. The worldwide average of new infections in that time increased by 18.8%.
In other words, the United States — home to the world’s most prosperous economy, and the most advance science — has recorded eight times more Covid infections per capita in the past 10 days than the world at large.
Let me mention here that nearly half (46%) of our planet’s 7.7 billion people subsist on less than $5.50 a day, according to 2018 figures from the World Bank, the most recent statistics I could find.
Average per capita income in the United States in 2019 was $34,103 — $93.43 a day (based on a seven-day workweek; based on a five-day workweek it would be $103.81.)
