We are now at 161,000 cases WORLDWIDE. Think about that. In the entire world that is supposedly doing WAY better testing than us, there are ONLY 161,000 cases


As of this posting

3,045 cases in the United States - 0.00096% of our country has tested positive of COVID19
60 deaths in the United States - 0.000018% of our country has died from COVID19
23 of those deaths came from one Nursing Home in Washington State

*Many countries are heading into the peak of their numbers
*Warm weather does matter. S. Korea, Parts of Italy have colder temperatures right now. Warmer weather areas are least affected.
*Closing borders works. Russia shut down its border with China and has very few cases


Now, many people want to look at Italy and assume that is the worst case scenario that is going to happen here in the United States. It is not. It won't be even close. Here is why

1) Italy's population is much older than our population
2) Italy waited too long to shut down its border
3) Italy's socialized healthcare system was in a shambles prior to this. They have been rationing care for years. They don't have enough physicians, nurses or facilities.

Now for those wanting to just blame President Trump (because that is what you do)

1) As of January 23rd, the World Health Organization did not declare this a global health emergency. Everyone said "Listen to the experts". Well that is what the World experts were saying at the time.

2) On January 31, 2020 President Trump restricted travel to and from the impacted areas for which he was roundly criticized by the democrats in this country and the WHO
