WE ARE NO LONGER NUMBER ONE

It used to be when I went to check the Covid numbers from Johns Hopkins that finding the United States was easy; always at the top because of the 28-day figure. Not any longer.

Korea is way ahead of us. Followed by Vietnam, Germany, Russia, France, the United Kingdom, Japan, the Netherlands, Italy, and Brazil.

Let me restate that differently: we are behind Holland, which has population less than one twentieth of our size. They're more or less twenty five percent higher than us.


I don't know whether to call that a stellar achievement for the US or Holland.


In both infections and deaths, we are of course still way ahead of everyone else: 79,803,443 confirmed cases in the US and 973,213 deaths.



"Time out for many men of medicine usually means just long enough to enjoy a cigarette."
