Exactly right. Bingo, etc. It's a subtle statistical point that escapes most. Most here are math impaired (charting isn't math by the way) and couldn't comprehend how we'd even get to 50k cases a few weeks ago. Now we've shot past 55k deaths.

We have about 330 million people. The rest of the world has about 7500 million. So the rest of the world has over 22x as many people as in the US. But we have 1/2 as many positive outcomes as that 22x larger population group.
