It's the curve that gives the trend. Specifically the slope of the curve, the steeper the slope the faster the acceleration. The US has been showing consistently the steepest curve, and this can only be attributed to the large seed population caused by a delay in taking it seriously for a few weeks.
This is normal for Trump to say something then backtrack because he's only looking at the current news cycle. He's used to controlling the news cycle so if he says bs then he knows he can bury it the next day.
It's just unfortunate for him that and the US that something popped up that controls the news cycle whatever Trump does.
What is important to note in the graph below which starts each country from their first case, is what is happening around day 20. That's about when other countries who took it more seriously earlier and Trump was blowing it off. What you are seeing now is a result of decisions made then. There is a two to three week lag.
Spain and Italy are having a tough time now after taking it more seriously, so it's no wonder that the US curve is steeper than theirs now.
TL ; DR Look at the slope of the curve. It's not that the US has the most casualties, it's that they have the steepest slope, and that's why they have the most cases now.
https://i.postimg.cc/yDjXq22f/21112.jpg No. You lied. LIED. You just posted detailed analysis about curves and Day this and day that as a way to avoid what you said originally which was:
There is no other explanation as to why every other country is beginning to level off whereas the US is still accelerating. That was not even remotely true and was a purposeful lie to continue your single minded purpose of blaming Trump for everything under the sun.
As a retort to me pointing out the obvious fact you lied, you’d like say if Trump killed someone in the middle of Time Square, I wouldn’t convict him. Maybe I wouldn’t, but it wouldn’t be because I refused to acknowledge he killed someone, it would be because I think he’s still a better option than the alternative. If Trump cured cancer however, you’d die and take millions with you rather than acknowledge he did it. And therein lies the difference between my eyes wide open and your TDS blindness.
