Of course the US has the lowest death/mortality rate for # of Covid cases.

It is the only rich nation with huge numbers of infected 7 months in. Doctors the world over have been sharing what works best. They didn't know what was what in terms of treatment in the first few months when europe and asia had outbreaks and most of their covid cases took place Having huge numbers of cases, when the science of treatment and outbreak abatement is better, is nothing the president should be proud of. He is responsible for outbreak abatement.
