What's this?

Congratulations, America. 150k + deaths and closing in on France for

10th on the list of per capita deaths. A month ago we were 75/million behind them, now we're only 10/million behind. Looking at the countries we should be comparing ourselves to and ignoring the statistical oddity of San Marino and we are about to move to 6th in the world. Keep up the blind, selfish stupidity and I'm sure we can improve several places. At one time it seemed crazy to talk about surpassing Italy but even that is within reach.
