few authoritarian countries don't give out real numbers. Of course I don't trust numbers from countries such as China. Anyone who does would be a fool. We have plenty of countries across the world with numbers we can put reasonable trust in to compare to our data and the comparisons don't look good. That is all I am saying. Your inability to admit that is astounding to me. Wipe away your aura of American exceptionalism for a minute and come back to reality. It's ok to admit we have done a terrible job so far in response to a pandemic, can learn from other countries that have had success and reduce the unnecessary deaths and suffering in our country. Put away the politics.
