Quite the democratic hoax.

The U.S. leads the world in reported cases

Trump's USA USA is #1! And in this case he can rightfully take discredit.

It's going to get worse in the U.S. Action was taken too late and too little.

I only hope that rust-belt city voters remember how much help Trump has refused to give them.

Never forget: The only thing Trump cared about for months was keeping the number of cases artificially low.

No, he just didn’t believe it was that bad, a lot of people didn’t, but he does now and he made up for that, before he was getting hammered in the polls. That’s the good thing about America, we believe in redemption.

Cases in Chicago and suburban Cook County accounted for about three-fourths of Illinois' 3,026 total as of Friday. Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot closed popular lakeshore parks after people failed to practice social distancing, despite a statewide shelter-at-home order.

The Novel virus is being spread from person to person via droplets and/or human contact. People refuse to stay home, and they refuse to keep a proper distance between themselves. Mardi Gras celebrations, spring break parties, corona virus challenges, a huge banquet with over 130,000 guests held in Wuhan shortly before the Chinese government finally admitted they had a deadly virus, morons licking produce, all helped spread the virus. More, and more, drastic actions are being taken in order to slow down the spread. But some people still chose to play politics by blaming the POTUS for anything, and everything. Haters gotta hate.

US leading the world once again, this time as a beacon of what NOT to do. It's a shame that other nations insist as well on putting economy before lives. Japan will be following suit shortly.

America may now have more infected but nowhere near the number dead.

Hope they find a cure soon, if this does pan out until September as some of these immunologists predict, we’ll be gearing up for round two and a new strain will make it even more difficult to fight.

bass4funk: "No, he just didn’t believe it was that bad, a lot of people didn’t,"

Sorry, but when you are a leader you are still supposed to listen to the experts, not proclaim yourself one and then make horrible decisions based on your "belief" -- decisions that killed people. He literally said "this will just miraculously disappear" and "most people don't even know they have it", that it was okay to go to work, etc. Those led to the sorry people that believe him thinking it was no big deal, contracting it in some cases, and in some of those dying. It led to an extreme deficit in preparedness, which is why the US leads the world in infection rate and death, and when he signed the major relief bill the other day he said, "To think two weeks ago this was no problem," when two weeks ago you had more than 500 cases and quite a few death already. Boris Johnson is another leader who downplayed and made bad decisions about this and look where he is.
