This is for topical issues effecting our fair world... you can quit snickering anytime.

The conservative parts of America tend to be rural instead of jam packed in cities that make disease spread like wildfire. Add in that no conservative governers pulled a Cuomo and forced retirement homes to take in infected people, so what seems like the end of the world in NY is merely an annoying slow burn in 'flyover' country.
Only curious if you got any data on this. I'm only getting a bunch of paywalls as far as any articles that talk about it.

How the hell was I in the dark about this? I'm from freaking Oak Ridge (about an hour west of Knox)!

Cases are going up in the U.S. because we are testing far more than any other country, and ever expanding. With smaller testing we would show fewer cases!

Trump is partially correct. The US has performed 29,559,564 tests, which is a greater number then any other country, and more than 150% of the next greatest number.
But there are countries with a higher testing rate and a lower infection rate. The UK, for example.

You know, we have to give credit where it's due. We slam him for lying, well, this statement is the complete truth.
Although "smaller testing." Maybe I'm petty but god.
