Iran's response to this had been so bad, I'm starting to wonder if this might be their Chernobyl moment. It's one thing to kill dissidents through force. It's another to kill loyalists through weakness.

It's hard to believe mortality is so different between developed countries. Italy and US have a high rate compared to others (Germany has more confirmed cases than US and 0 deaths?). Especially Italy compared to other European countries is highly suspicious. Indicates there's a much higher number of infected people "flying under the radar". Likely due to a lack of testing. Wouldn't be surprised if the real number of infected Italians is 5 times higher than reported/confirmed. Or even 10 times more.

Given the reports that the virus was spreading for weeks undetected, there are probably hundreds of undiagnosed people in the US, some of whom may have already recovered, so our death rate is probably artificially high, at least for now.

Bolsanaro is positive. Considering he and his adviser just tested positive and were at a GOP Mar-a-Lago event, there is a good chance the white house is now infected.

Wow. Big AND true, for once.

So... North Korea still does not have any official cased despite bordering two of the worst-affected countries. Is there any pulse on what is happening there with COVID-19?

I know this is evil from me, but just imagine Trump trying to explain COVID away if Bolsonaro were to die from it.

"Bolsonaro, like many Latinos, was a disease-ridden criminal. This is why we need to build the wall and make all the Mexicans with ChinaVirus pay for it! Law and Order!"

We've officially crossed 3 billion vaccine doses administered worldwide, per the NYT tracker. About 1.85 billion of those are in China, the US, and India.
