I am not sure you should bring up coronavirus...
Deaths in Australia from coronavirus: 98 people. That's with a population of 25M
Deaths in the US from coronavirus: 85,000. That's with a population of 328M.
So US deaths from this virus is 867 times that of Australia, despite having a population only 13 times that of Australia.
So US death rate over 66 times as high per capita as Australia...
I know it is off-topic, but I think this will go down for the US as one of the greatest fails of government in history.
