I opened up this morning’s Atlanta Urinal and Constipation and was greeted with the following headline:

Europe reels as “fragile” US tops 5M Cases

Wow! Reels? Really?

I can’t find this article on the AJC’s website which is not unusual but I did find it here.

ROME (AP) — With confirmed coronavirus cases in the U.S. hitting 5 million Sunday, by far the highest of any country, the failure of the most powerful nation in the world to contain the scourge has been met with astonishment and alarm in Europe.

Perhaps nowhere outside the U.S. is America’s bungled virus response viewed with more consternation than in Italy, which was ground zero of Europe’s epidemic. Italians were unprepared when the outbreak exploded in February, and the country still has one of the world’s highest official death tolls at over 35,000.

Hey Italy! Kiss my crippled ass. Your death toll per one million population is 582. Guess what ours is? 501. And you are calling us bunglers? More on those numbers later.

But after a strict nationwide, 10-week lockdown, vigilant tracing of new clusters and general acceptance of mask mandates and social distancing, Italy has become a model of virus containment.

“Don’t they care about their health?” a mask-clad Patrizia Antonini asked about people in the United States as she walked with friends along the banks of Lake Bracciano, north of Rome. “They need to take our precautions. … They need a real lockdown.”

No! We! Do! Not! We see no need to destroy our economy. Let you booger eatin’ moh-rons fuck yours up.

[…]

“We Italians always saw America as a model,” said Massimo Franco, a columnist with daily Corriere della Sera. “But with this virus we’ve discovered a country that is very fragile, with bad infrastructure and a public health system that is nonexistent.”

Bullshit!

Now more about those death numbers. If you take away New York (1688 per million) and its surrounding states like New Jersey (1796 per million), Taxachusetts (1268 per million), and Connecticut (1246 per million) the United States is actually doing pretty well. Those blue states whose epicenter is New York where we have the incompetent Cuomo and Werner Wilhelm skew the death numbers up. Without them the 502 per million death numbers go way down.

Let’s look at some more European numbers.

UK – 685 per million

Spain – 611 per million

France – 465 per million

Sweden – 571 per million And they didn’t lock down and destroy their economy.

Belgium – 851 per million

So Italy don’t lecture us. Go eat a plate of pasta.

Let’s look at some other states. Right now, the state with the most cases is Mexifornia with 570,221. What is their death rate per million? 264. Better than the above mentioned European countries.

Number two is Florida with 536,961. It’s death rate is 385 per million. I’m sure Florida was infected and affected by New Yorkers fleeing to it.

Number three is Texas with 514,158. It’s death rate is 299 per million.

Number four is New York and we know what a success that is. Cuomo and the Fake News Media keep telling us it is.

Number five is my state, Georgia (We’re number five! We’re number five!) with 219,025 and a death rate of 398 per million, less than Italy, the UK, Spain, France, and Belgium.

Our hospitals are not overwhelmed. Our “nonexistent” public health system is doing quite well thank you. So STFU and take care of your own problems and quit bitching about us. When you can do as good a job as most of this country is doing, then you can lecture us.
