    And comparing the USA with other countries is equally misleading. You can't compare the USA to Canada, for instance. It's apples & oranges.

        Exactly! It seems like you are trying to argue with me even though we are basically saying the same thing.

          I understand that. I'm not trying to argue. But some people on here have compared the USA to other countries in an attempt to make the numbers look bad. That's a fact.

            ...it is more like apple sauce where both Canada and the USA enjoy many benefits as the world's largest trading partners.

            With Biden no more silly trade wars with Canada.

            I expect Canada and the USA will co-operate to the very best of their abilities to find a way to contain COVID-19 and one day find a vaccine. Health Canada, CDC and the FDA can resume their medical research without political interference.

              To be fair, the numbers are bad. The numbers here are also starting to go in the wrong direction.

                And lets not forget that in the USA we having millions of illegals pouring over our border in search on the American dream and we have protestors out the ass.

                  That's beside the point. Again, it's foolish when people compare the USA to many other countries. I think we both agree on that. Now folks need to stop doing it.

                    PS - Controlling covid is like trying to control the common cold. Good luck with that. I wonder how the release of the vaccine will be affected by Biden?

                          There are actually at least 4 common human corona virus infestions, types 229E, NL63, OC43, and HKU1 that are often diagnosed and treated as the common cold.

                              I wasn't commenting on the content of your post, just your constant need to demean people who disagree with you. It doesn't mean I'm offended, it just suggests you have difficulty putting your argument forward.
