Also, in the last year, 38 times as many US residents have died of covid-19 than been killed by lightning, and on a global scale, 67 times as many people have been killed by covid-19 than by lightning strikes.
You could move your argument to something about the difference between "38 times" and "67 times" if that'll help your position. For now.
Actually, I was way out there with the worldwide figure - death from covid-19 globally and from lightning in the last year are approximately equal. But still 38 times higher in the US.

EU Rocked by Infighting; Paralyzed by Politics as Deaths Soar - Bloc May Not Survive
European Union leaders failed to agree on Thursday on the scale of support for their economies battered by the coronavirus, but gave themselves two more weeks to work out details in a dispute between the ailing south and the fiscally conservative north.
Highlighting how the pandemic is testing the bloc’s cohesion, Germany and the Netherlands blocked a call from Italy, Spain and France to issue joint debt to help finance a recovery.
Please update your signature line to reflect the newest data. Otherwise, saxi, you could be accused of spreading "fake news".

Thank you, President Trump, for Keeping America Safe Again!

No, that's not what happened. Europe followed WHO's advice and kept its borders open with China initially while Donald Trump - the Leviathan of the World and Colossus of Man - rejected WHO's advice and decisively closed America's borders. That's why Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, France, etc. have per capita death totals 30 to 60 times higher than the U.S. The evil European "leaders" (thugs) wickedly prioritized their commitment to the ideologies of functionalism and neo-liberalism above their commitment to human life and now they are drowning in corpses.

Here's a deal that Duk was too afraid to take (because he boasts and brags about what things will be like in the future, knowing he'll never be held to account) ...
If, on May 1, the U.S.' per capita deaths are less than Italy, you'll quit CC. Otherwise, I will.
You sound confident enough in yourself that this won't be a deal you'd like to miss, right? Or are you just engaging in empty boasts and impotent crowing, like Duk?

Violent clashes have erupted in Central China over the ChiCom's suppressed disease figures. People ripped riot shields from local police and beat them with them, overturned police cars. Battalions of the People's Armed Police are reported to be converging on Hubei in a desperate bid to try and regain control.

My heart aches for the world today. The evil that has been perpetrated on the world. My mercy and grace are there for anyone who calls upon me. My heart aches for the souls lost from this evil that has been unleashed on the world.* My grace is there for those that obey my commands and remain in my will.
Always seek my will and my provision in your life. I will always provide for those that follow my will. Come and stay within my heart; there is security and peace. I remain faithful and always near to those that follow my will. Come to me and I will guide you always directly to myself.

US is moving up and NOT in a good way. This is true of the death rate and the infection rate, too.
I predicted that this would happen as:
1) more are tested and
2) the Virus spreads. We need to look at the infection rate as the death rate is only the peak of the data indicating how far the virus has spread.
Sadly, we have not peaked yet. Look at the rate in New York, in particular. Los Angelas and New Orleans are also on the rise.

Correct, and we can expect more deaths. However, thanks to the decisive action President Trump took early on, the U.S. will come out ahead and on-top of Europe for impact of COVID-19, meaning per capita deaths among Americans will always be a fraction of the worst-hit countries. For whatever reason, the Eye of Providence has chosen to elevate us above the other great nations and is using Donald Trump as His implement to do so.

Yes, unfortunately some states with Democrat governors are so incompetently run that even President Trump's decisive action was not enough to save them. In Louisiana, for instance, the decision of the Rat Governor and Rat Mayor to allow Mardi Gras to go ahead turned it into the #2 epicenter after liberal New York. Even the lying New York Timesagrees that "The greatest free party in the world was a perfect incubator at the perfect time."
President Trump could have declared martial law in Louisiana and taken over the government - but that would have been the boat that launched a thousand lawsuits from the seditious Rats. When you're dealing with Rats it's always a case of Damned if you Do, Damned if you Don't. And so the voters of southern Louisiana must now reap what they've sowed and live and die with the consequences of the government they chose. New Orleans made its choice.

Dr Fauci has just announced that the USA could be heading for a death toll between 100 and 200 thousand.
The coronavirus outbreak could kill 100,000 to 200,000 Americans, the government’s top infectious diseases expert warned on Sunday.
Dr Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told CNN’s State of the Union that millions would be infected by the virus.
Dr Fauci, a leading member of President Donald Trump’s coronavirus task force, added, however: “I don’t want to be held to that ... It’s such a moving target that you can so easily be wrong and mislead people.”

Donald Trump’s comparison of US, South Korea coronavirus testing is wrong. Here's why
The best numbers available don't support what Trump said. As of March 24, about 348,582 people in South Korea had been tested since it began in early February. A credible database of U.S. testing estimates that between March 15 and March 24, the U.S. conducted about 331,000 tests.
These numbers do not reflect the different population sizes: South Korea, about 51.5 million; and the U.S., about 327 million. When you consider per capita testing, which is the more important number, South Korea’s efforts were six times higher than that of the U.S.
The timing of the testing is also an important consideration.
The US could have reacted faster. Trump was slow to respond. As were many other Americans:
But as the deadly virus spread from China with ferocity across the United States between late January and early March, large-scale testing of people who might have been infected did not happen — because of technical flaws, regulatory hurdles, business-as-usual bureaucracies and lack of leadership at multiple levels, according to interviews with more than 50 current and former public health officials, administration officials, senior scientists and company executives.
The result was a lost month, when the world’s richest country — armed with some of the most highly trained scientists and infectious disease specialists — squandered its best chance of containing the virus’s spread. Instead, Americans were left largely blind to the scale of a looming public health catastrophe.
Warnings Ignored: A Timeline of Trump’s COVID-19 Response
During the critical period between the outbreak in China and the landfall of coronavirus in America, Donald Trump was warned about our general vulnerabilities and the specific actions his administration needed to take to avoid the worst. This is the timeline of how he ignored them.
