Hello, ficoguy,
You don’t miss a beat, do ya —
Oh well, I hope you will give my post here some thought.
As of yesterday morning, the reported numbers were, as follow:
Global:
Cases: 3,979,442
Deaths: 276,421
United States:
Cases: 1,291,100
Deaths: 77,489
Whether it be contract negotiations or ROI, I have always paid attention to percentages. Feel free to check my math. I did it in my head so it might be a little rough:
33% - United States Percentage of Global Cases
28% - United States Percentage of Global Deaths
I was appalled at what I was seeing in those numbers so I looked up the percentage of the US population relative to the population of the world:
4.5% - Yep. That’s us, our population, in relation to the whole world. I was beyond appalled at that stat.
Even though the virus could not have been stopped, it seems like it could have at least been headed off at the pass by responding to what was known in, ohhhh, let me see — January.
And why are tests being stonewalled? A numbers game?
