    The United States is 4.23% of the world's population.

    But we are supposed to believe that the United States has:

    • 22.2% of the total world cases of COVID-19
    • 21% of the worlds total deaths

    I'm sorry, but this is statistically and scientifically impossible. Do the math. This is statistically impossible. This is not scientifically sound. It makes no sense that Americans are more at risk than other nationalities.

    Is COVID-19 racist against Americans or are the number of infections and deaths greatly exaggerated?

    Does COVID-19 recognize borders or are we just testing more completely?

    Are we attributing other causes of deaths to COVID-19 to intentionally inflate the numbers, or are all the other countries intentionally under reporting infections and deaths in their countries? If a person tests positive more than once, is that person counted twice or more as a positive infection?

    Is it because we have greater number of tests than the rest of the world?

    There has to be an answer to this discrepancy. I'd like to hear you explain it to me. For now I'm gonna assume that much of this stuff is malarky.

    It is election year malarky designed to push the leftist narrative. I am sure that twenty years from now it will be grudingly admitted that the numbers were all politically twisted bull crap.

    First, show the math of why this is statistically impossible?

    Second, no, Americans would not be more at risk than other nationalities, if their behavior and national response had been the same. Unfortunately, the R0 for virus propagation depends on the behavior of the host. As a whole, Americans have been behaving less responsibly than other nations' populations, that's why our R0 is higher, all in the name of "freedom". Other nations also don't have the Fox news propaganda network that has been telling them the virus is a dud.

    The doctors, scientists and statisticians disagree.

    Trump and the boys let it get away from them.
    But don't worry Brazil and India will catch up to us.

    A list of statistics does NOT mean "scientific" or "science".

    The Trumpies don't even seem to have a clue of what "scientific" and "science" even means.

    You don’t appear to have a clue what you are talking about either.

    Statistics are simple a bunch of numbers.

    Statistical, rigorous analysis of accurate data can be science if it works to be within the bounds of reality, if it is repeatedly and the suppording evidence works to be a accurate.

    Anecdotal statements about COVID bleach cures and Herd Immunity are anecdotes.

    Repeatable studies comparing survival rates of a compound carried for a month to a similar group withouth the same compound would be science.

    I know exactly what I am talking do, and it is possible that the same people who try to claim "statistics" IS "science" know exactly what they are doing to do in their claims.

    Statistics indeed can be used to advance science.

    But statistics can indeed ALSO be used to advance BS, fraud, fakery, and Trump's wish to do the same "advance" as Trump University's goal to hoodwink and gain Trump and his buddies' personal wealth at the expense of the American People.

    To Trumpers "many people say" is a statistic.

    I’ve got news for you. Science can also be used for the same thing. Look at Dr. Fauci as a prime example. He has contributed absolutely nothing to resolve the COVID-19 pandemic besides talking a lot of hot air.

    Then show us the math and science of why it is statistically impossible for the US to have 4% of the world's population, but 20% of covid deaths? We are still waiting.

    The US has 4% of the world's population and consumes 20% of world oil production annually. The reason for both statistics is very much related.

    I guess it would be the same concept of black Americans making up 13% of the U.S. population yet responsible for over 50% of homicides between 1980 and 2008. But we’re not supposed to talk about that, remember?

    Lefties imagine if not for the George Floyd-type incidents, black Americans would be just as peaceful as they are in Africa.

    We’re talking about how percentages add up, aren’t we?

    It is not statistically impossible.
    America has about 330 million people and over 200,000 deaths.
    What is impossible about that?

    They answer to the difference between % of world population compared with % of Covid deaths is simple. America did not contain the spread of the virus or treat it as effectively (or both) as most other countries did.

    Neither.

    They just can't go more than a few posts without saying something negative about black people, no matter what the actual topic. I suspect that they have spent so long thinking this way it is just 'normal' to them to interject this stuff into any & every conversation. Sadly not the only examples on this board, or even the worst.

    ~ It is indeed possible . Just ask the leftist tainted media . If it makes president Donald Trump look bad - anything is possible. :rip:

    America is doing well . Even Jonathan Swan agrees !

    If that works for you then whatever, wear a mask Trump supporter. Then you can shout your "statistics" from the roof tops.

    Watch out folks that black guy you see is responsible for 50% of the murders in our country! :roflol: yea right. You believe that but not actual statistics. WTF.
