In the midst of all this, be wary of "selected info"
For instance, it was "loudly declared" (in print and talk headlines) that the US has now surpassed Italy in Corona confirmed cases!!!!!
But here are the numbers. First thing to keep in mind is that the US population is over 5 times that of Italy, so the fact the US is slightly ahead of them is simply no big deal.
Then look at the deaths.....Italy, with fewer cases than the US has over 6 times the deaths of the US. So our status in comparison to Italy is extremely favorable...but that is not how it is sensationalized by the media...
United States 85,594 1,300
Italy 80,589 8,215
