So no, not fake news. Just news.
There isn't a basket. You seem to be making one up, but you simply said that only Germany has a lower rate per population.
That is incorrect. To coin a phrase, it's "fake news".
And yes, lots of countries have very few or no cases, but then some countries like the Caymen Islands have only had one death but because they have a low population it looks like the rate is very high.
So far the USA's deaths per population stats is pretty good, but they have over 80,000 "active cases" and climbing, so it's a bit early to be praising them for that.
Your long rambling diversion about China is a completely separate topic.
No. I have seen a lot of what the ORANGE MAN has said and written and my own conclusion is "BAD".
Him just saying "it's all fine, it'll go away, I'm doing a great job" doesn't make any of that true.
In happier times when the Americans can keep going around waving little Stars and Stripes and shooting each other, it probably doesn't matter so much who is in the White House. When there's a real crisis you kinda want someone competent there and Trump repeatedly shows he isn't.
TL;DR - divert all you like but you called something "fake news" which was factually correct and then you immediately claimed something which was factually incorrect. Ironic, non?
