the most startling observation from this is how ridiculously far ahead we are of all the other countries in deaths per population. Our deaths per capita is more than 2.5 times worse than the two closest countries in that category and much much worse than all the others. This is tragic.

What really angers me is how Trump is running around saying how many millions of lives he will be saving when he is responsible for murdering thousand upon thousands of Americans by virtue of how he promoted anti-masking during the entire pandemic.
