I'm astounded that Dr. Birx had the nerve to *brag* about America's "COVID-19 deaths per million citizens" figure.

FACT: The US ranks *183 out of 195* nations in that measure. And of the 12 nations behind us, 3 have virtually no population. We'll pass 3 *others* in a week or so.
PS/ What kind of *doctor* picks 5 well-known nations doing worse than us in "COVID-19 deaths per million citizens"—knowing that *182* nations are doing *better* than us—and feels she's made a scientifically sound point? Especially when she knows we'll "pass" those 5 nations soon?
PS2/ Birx and Trump then got worked up over the fact that China—Earth's largest nation, and 4 times larger than the US, therefore with a natural advantage in "deaths/million"—ranks 116 of 195 in that category. As if that ranking is *so good*, who could ever imagine it being real?
PS3/ Mind you, is there a good chance *all* the hostile foreign autocrats Trump is financially in bed with (or plans to be)—e.g., Xi, Putin, Erdogan, Kim—are lying about their death tolls? Absolutely. But China being 150 instead of 116 wouldn't change what Trump did—or didn't—do.
