Media Touts U.S. Has More COVID-19 Deaths Than Any Other Country, Ripped for Failing to Report Deaths Per Capita

Context matters.

The United States officially has the most known number of deaths resulting from COVID-19 in the world.

The media appears “thrilled” to report these headlines:

United States Now Has Most Confirmed Deaths In World, LA County Expands Stay Home Orders To May 15

U.S. surpasses Italy for most confirmed coronavirus deaths with more than 20,000

US has most deaths worldwide; states crack down on Easter gatherings

Coronavirus: US overtakes Italy as country with most deaths

While this is true, many observers have taken to social media to criticize the failure of the mainstream media to report the number of deaths per capita.

The United States has 5.5 times the population of Italy, for example.

When that is taken into consideration, then it is clear the likelihood of contracting the virus or dying from the virus is much lower in the U.S.

It makes it more apparent that the Trump administration successfully slowed the spread of the novel coronavirus in the United States.
