Countries might be loosening lockdown restrictions, but the coronavirus hasn’t gone away. There are a total of 10.3 million confirmed cases of infected worldwide and 2.59 million of these are in the United States alone, according to Johns Hopkins University. Brazil stands in second place with over 1.37 million cases while Russia has 640k confirmed infections. Meanwhile, India has nearly 567k cases, and the United Kingdom has 313k.
A lot of people are asking the question: why is America number 1 in the world when it comes to Covid-19 infections? It’s a complicated issue with no easy answers. However, some people on the internet are posting anecdotal evidence about how "bad" some Americans are with following coronavirus guidelines. Scroll down to have a look, dear Pandas, and upvote your faves. Oh, and keep in mind that different sources provide slightly different numbers of people who have been infected with the virus.

In the US, more than 126k people have died with or because of the coronavirus. In some states, infection cases are soaring again, and plans to ease lockdown measures have been put on hold in some areas.
For example, even though the Fourth of July celebrations are approaching, Texas and some parts of California have ordered bars to close again.
On Saturday, June 27, the US recorded over 43k new coronavirus cases. Florida alone recorded 9,585 new cases in 24 hours on Saturday, which was a new daily record for the state. Georgia, Nevada, and South Carolina also reported new daily infection records.
Just to keep you on your toes, you ought to know that scientists in China have identified a new strain of flu that has the potential to become a new pandemic.
The new flu strain is carried by pigs but, according to researchers, it can infect human beings, too. There are fears that the strain could mutate even more and easily spread from human to human.
I agree that the medical staff needs better gear and equipment to fight this pandemic and I know that I might get trashed here but I think addressing police as killers is wrong, not every cop is a killer, most of them try to keep us safe.
The internet never forgets. But how does someone change 180 degrees like that in just a few years?
I think it follows the logic of toddlers who close their eyes with their hands and think that no-one can see them
"if you are sick, still come, it's your right" does make it sound like an evil plot...
Just gather these fwits together on a deserted island and spread their diseases and stupidity amongst themselves!
The truly absurd thing about this is that the vast majority of countries don't have 5G, yet.
It's clearly visible you are moron. You don't have to open your mouth to prove that
If they don’t even want to wear them they should donate them to homeless people and healthcare workers instead of ruining them
Why the hell are you going to a theme park?! It's a pandemic for Christ sake!
I think that it's Isaac Asimov who said that the US is a country where being smart and being dumb are equally worshipped. That anyone's opinion is worthy, no matter how dumb or ignorant. He said that that was the main difference between the US and the rest of the world. His words have never been truer.
Is this the quote you were thinking of? "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."

I do feel sorry for the intelligent US citizens that have to live with Tweety, the tangerine toddler and his Amazing Show of Totally Thoughtless Trumpturds. On the other hand: Lock down in Europe hasn't been that bad thanks to this hilarious freakshow. Mind-boggling comedy 24/7. And it's free to watch.
My 12th grade English teacher said that every story is either Comedy or Tragedy. The US of A has proven you can do both at once.

We sure have become a big joke with #PedoTrump at the helm
