Paul Waldman looks at covid-19 cases from Monday, 7.13.20:
Let’s begin with the situation in other countries. Here are new case totals from Monday for a few of our peer countries:
France: 580
UK: 564
Spain: 546
Germany: 365
Canada: 299
Japan: 259
Italy: 200
Australia: 158
South Korea: 52And the United States? 55,300.
These nine advanced countries have saved lives, preserved health, and conserved resources by orders of magnitude more than America. This is easily among the worst public-health failures in our history.
