Measured per capita, however, the U.S. ranks ninth in the world for tests given per 1 million residents, according to data from Statista.
Just another lie, it was to be expected.
Is it an coindence that the countries with populist leaders, in particular United States, Russia, Brazil and the United Kingdom, are doing worse in controlling the virus then other countries?
Misinformation is spreading like wildfire but there are reliable sources on information.
Trump remarked: âYou can call a germ, you can call it a flu, you can call it a virus.â
So far for the flu. He says things that seems to well up as some kind of swamp gas in his brain without contemplating anything. I have never seen a president doing that, usually they weigh their words very carefully. What the country needs IMHO is a real crisis manager that talks sense, who can lead the country out of this mess in a businesslike manner.
What does âpopulisticâ mean?
pop¡u¡lis¡tic. (lowercase) of, relating to, or characteristic of populism or its adherents.
I think it is âpopulist leadersâ instead of âpopulisticââŚ
An interesting article about the word populism:
Reopening the Economy Would Add 233,000 Deaths by July but Save Millions of Jobs
I am not going to participate in an academic discussion about a perfectly normal word like populism. Here is neither the place for, particularly not in this thread about the Coronavirus, nor in this forum.
You wonât be very popular with statements like that.
I thought populism was a disease you got from a bad can of Coke.
Catholics?
Latest worldwide figures:

USA beat everybody on every aspect, except on testing per million population.
Not even close on deaths per million which is a more balanced figure.
Shit, that is less than half of the UK.
'MURICA!
You spotted it!!! (The advantage of a big population I guess)
It figures, yes I knew it!

Why let a crisis go to waste if you have know how and capital.
Some people claim that Australia, Norway (ombugge can confirm), Austria, China and Hungary are all governed by so called âpopulistsâ but are coping quite well with the virus.
Spain, France and Belgium are allegedly governed by ânon-populistsâ and were hit quite hard.
Is that a coincidence?
Congradulations on your stimulus cheque!
College-age workers who spent time in the U.S. in the last two years â some of whom returned home long before the coronavirus pandemic â have been surprised to find $1,200 checks deposited into their bank accounts. And with no clear guidance on how to return it, theyâre holding onto the money or racing to spend it before the Internal Revenue Service realizes the mistake.
