The only reason testing isn't being done on every street corner is because the Grotesque Orange Pustule wants the numbers lower than reality.

South Korea found their first case on the same day the U.S. found its first case.

Yes. Better comparisons are log-scale charts from 100 or 30-cases-day. Compare Canada Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2020 #39

I agree. Per capita would be helpful if we really want to compare. n/t Chemisse Apr 2020 #17

Correct. On a per capita basis we have fewer cases than several other countries. n/t totodeinhere Apr 2020 #21

Where in this chart... Jon Fogerty Apr 2020 #15

The chart is not entirely meaningless as some are saying ... mr_lebowski Apr 2020 #16

430,000 infections, but not that many illnesses. Some people who are infected do not get sick. totodeinhere Apr 2020 #22

Yah, I definitely get the point some are making ... per capita is the proper number mr_lebowski Apr 2020 #29

No, I agree. That's way too many infections. And if the Trump administration had taken this totodeinhere Apr 2020 #34

The graph shows gross numbers, not infections on a per capita basis. totodeinhere Apr 2020 #20

Best estimate I've heard so far is that the official rate is at best 2/3 of real numbers, and Ford_Prefect Apr 2020 #25

That probably applies to other countries as well. totodeinhere Apr 2020 #27
