When Adjusted For Population, U.S. Currently Trails At Least Six Other Nations In Number Of Coronavirus Cases, Report Says | The Daily Wire
On Thursday, many news reports trumpeted that the United States had become the nation with the most reported cases of the coronavirus, but they ignored an essential fact; among major countries which one can assume are offering valid statistics, when adjusted for population, the United States trails many other countries in the number of cases.
Using the raw case counts from the Johns Hopkins University
database for the top 10 countries on Thursday, Klein explained, “So, for instance, on a raw basis, there are 83,507 reported cases of the coronavirus in the U.S., compared with 80,589 in Italy. But the U.S. has about 5.5 times the population of Italy. If Italy were scaled up to the U.S. population, it would have the equivalent of 443,237 cases.”
Correct numbers and equations make all the difference. Something the media needs to learn. You can't just base numbers off of "# infected vs. # of deaths, unless you're trying to spread panic and fear......which is all the media wants to do at this point.
