What Number Are We?

May 8, 2020

We’re Number One!

With only a quarter as many people — and despite having had a lot more warning — the U.S. now has 25 times as many COVID-19 deaths as China.  Three hundred times as many as South Korea.  You can keep track here.

Joe Biden laid it out in USA Today as early as January 27.



When it comes to happiness, we’re #18.

Or were, pre-pandemic.

Next year’s ranking, I fear, will be lower.





Have a great week-end!
