Comments by "Tony Wilson" (@tonywilson4713) on "The Media Failed MISERABLY On Covid" video.
When I first read you comment I was about to explode then saw your point and its tragically accurate. I'm Australian but graduated U. Illinois (please don't remind me of Kelly Loeffler either). If I add up the populations of Illinois, Wisconsin & Indiana its 25.2 million which is very closely to Australia's 25.6 million. The data below is from -> https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ Australia has 909 COVID fatalities while Illinois, Wisconsin & Indiana have over 32,000 COVID fatalities Australia has over 1,800 active cases (which is actually climbing) while Illinois, Wisconsin & Indiana have just under 440,000 active cases (but its a falling). Illinois, Wisconsin & Indiana had 272 die yesterday. At that rate each week Illinois, Wisconsin & Indiana have more people die than Australia has had in the entire Pandemic. I was born in Australia I went to college in Illinois I know both places and the differences in geography and population concentration and the winter conditions and NONE of that explains those differences other than an absolute failure of leadership. Just so you and other Americans know, you do have friends in the world and we do care and do want to see American get past this mess.

@coreymetzker2521 Accurate data is one reason why I ONLY quote COVIC data from worldometers because they link/reference the sources. If you look at the US page and look at the 2nd from right column -> https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/ Whoever set up and is maintaining those pages at worldometers did a superb job. On 2008 the best answer was from Mark Blyth in explaining 2016 -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWMmBG3Z4DI He starts talking at 13:13 but you'll love what he said at 18:30. He said that 4 years ago and its still pertinent and maybe even more so today.
