In 9 days, at our current rate of 20,000 cases a day, the US will be the first country in the world to 2 million cases. But we are losing the race to the bottom. Even Singapore pulls away from us a little, leaving us lonely in the 0.5% club. Kuwait, however, passes Singapore, pulling into 7th.
It shows you what elite company we are in when we add nearly the same number of cases as many cases as our competitors have in total. Carrying nearly 1/3 of all cases in the globe, we are still able to race for the most cases per person.
However, South America is closing many gaps, so it may be that tomorrow we drop out of the bottom 9, displaced by Chile and Peru. We still have 5-10 days to see how the USA rallies from Memorial Day revelries. Hopefully protesters of genocide and discrimination were careful enough we don't get a spike from that. We really don't need help hurting our marginalized communities in the US of A.
