Dances on Graves


Donald Trump, April 18, 2020:

While we mourn the tragic loss of life, and you can’t mourn it any stronger than we’re mourning it, the United States has produced dramatically better health outcomes than any other country, with a possible exception of Germany. And I think we’re as good or better. On a per capita basis, remember that on a per capita basis, our mortality rate is far lower than other nations of Western Europe, with the lone exception of possibly Germany. This includes the UK, Switzerland, Belgium, the Netherlands, Italy, France. Spain, for example, has a mortality rate that is nearly four times that of the United States, but you don’t hear that. You hear we have more death, but we’re a much bigger country than any of those countries by far. So when the fake news gets out there and they start talking about the United States as number one, but we’re not number one, China’s number one, just so you understand. China is number one by a lot. It’s not even close. They’re way ahead of us in terms of death. It’s not even close. You know it, I know it, they know it, but you don’t want to report it. Why? You’ll have to explain that. Someday I’ll explain it. Since we released the guidelines to open up America again, and this was two days ago, a number of states led by both Democrat and Republican governors have announced concrete steps to begin a safe gradual and phased opening. Texas and Vermont will allow certain businesses to open on Monday while still requiring appropriate social distancing precautions.
Res ipsa loquitor. 
The number of U.S. deaths from coronavirus on April 18, 2020, was 38,664.  You can look at the Johns Hopkins website and see that we eclipse every country in Europe in death count by as much as 2600%.  The closest to our count is Italy, which still has 43% fewer dead than America.

But you can't mourn it any stronger than we're mourning it, right?
