While worldwide the rate of new cases fell a smidgin, and all the nations being tracked saw their death rate diminish, only the U.S. saw their death rate jump. Survivability in the U.S. also dropped again below 60%, and whatever optimism I had for America has sprung a leak.
Contrasting U.S. numbers with S. Korea for the past week, Covid 19 mortality was up 50.7% in the U.S., compared with S. Korea which saw a rise of 13.5%, and while the number of newly infected dropped to 3.85% from 6.85% last week in the U.S. the rate for S. Korea fell to .26%, from .50%. And again, it must be noted that American testing is so narrowly focused as to make the number of infected, although huge by global standards, woefully under-reported.
