My takeaway from this graph is that we were the last Country to start testing.
There are various forms of competition where starting off slow and finishing strong is a valid strategy. I wouldnât consider pandemic response to be one of them.

Yeah wtf does that mean
âThe testing has been incredible now, and to a level that nobodyâs seen⌠we have tested more than all countries put together.â
President Trump says the US has carried out more tests than every other country in the world combined.
The latest data shows that a total of 6,231,182 tests have been carried out in the US.
This is more than any other single country.
However, itâs nowhere near as many as the rest of the world combined.
Just adding together the totals of Spain, Italy, Germany and the UK gives you more than the US.
The US also still lags behind several other nations in terms of testing per capita.
Exact testing comparisons can be difficult as countries count testing in different ways.
But looking at the latest data available, the US has carried out about one test in every 53 people. Italy has performed around one in every 30 people, Spain around one in every 45, and Australia around one in every 45.
Just to be clear, polls still show like 75% want to remain closed until curves are downward, right?
The whinings of a strong, inspiring leader.
I think you mean 100% of cowardly sheeple want the lockdowns to continue. All Real Americans want unnecessary consumption and they want it now!

Yes but since itâs something that takes collective action, 25% not complying equals the long long slog we are currently in.
Looks like the deaths chart.
From the website that made the chart:
Are all regions and laboratories within a country submitting data on the same basis?
Answers to the questions above may vary from region to region. In order to assess the reliability of aggregate testing data, it needs to be clear if heterogenous data is being summed together.
The US COVID Tracking Project, for instance makes it clear that their US totals combine data for tests performed and individuals tested, depending on which is reported by individual states.
My god, he actually wants to remind us of this.
Him tweeting about the Lincoln project literally canât be a bad thing. Them getting to him means what they are doing is working. I wish Bloomberg would just dump 250M on them to run ads everywhere.

I wonder if anyone has pointed out to him that in that picture you can see his desk full of ephedrine, the UK kind that also has caffeine.

Yeah the Dems should probably forget about attack ads if they have GOP people willing to put in this kind of work. Except whoever did that ad that they tried to cease and desist with the graph. That person can keep making attack ads lol.
