5 More COVID Charts Democrats — And The Press — Don’t Want You To See

"There are now about 30,000 new cases per day in the United States, about 10 times higher than the roughly 3,000 new cases per day in the European Union," noted one outlet.

So how do Joe and company explain the fact that coronavirus cases are now exploding in Europe at rates far higher than the U.S., that the share of positive test results is higher in Europe, as is the case fatality rate?

The chart below shows daily new cases per 100,000 population in the U.S., Europe and a sampling of European countries.

Say what you want about U.S. health care, but the disease is less deadly here than it is in most of Europe, based on case fatality data.

As the Federalist reports, "In countries with strict lockdown measures such as France, cases rose by 25% in the past 14 days, topping the 'record 18,000 threshold.' Spain mandated drastic lockdown measures, some of which prevented children under 14 from playing outside for more than an hour, yet it maintains similar case numbers to France. The United Kingdom, whose government ordered a full stay-at-home order for seven weeks, has a 'record levels' of infections."

What about the lack of a national mask mandate? Well, the current rise in cases in the U.S. is coming at a time when 35 states have statewide mask mandates, and many of the other 15 states have local mandates in their urban areas.

Almost 59% of deaths are among those 75 and older, according to the Centers for Disease Control, despite the fact that they account for a mere 7.2% of cases.
