This is a dreadful statistic. <br /><br />Anyone listening to the main stream media news would think most deaths were in the USA. 🥺Gwilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02631517112036109554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1719793163535797854.post-25902576709724009772020-04-14T06:28:00.602-07:002020-04-14T06:28:00.602-07:00Thank you for making clear that the death rate for...Thank you for making clear that the death rate for CV-19 US is not as bad as it is in EU. Our news stations (US) keep reporting the same thing - they do not put it in terms of percent of the population, just that "we have surpassed Italy".

That one is the Euronews app headline this morning. The true story is overlooked. France‘s so high plateau is five worse than the US in population percentage terms. The US would need to record 100,000 deaths to be equal with France. Semantics or propaganda? You decide. Gwilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02631517112036109554noreply@blogger.com
