This is a very complicated situation, to be honest. First it was China, then Italy, and now it's Spain.
-snip-
^^ Look at the "New Cases" and "New Deaths" columns. Right now, it's hard to say what country is going to need more help.

Now wait a minute, where is the MAGA hat?
USA gonna lead the world AGAIN. With new cases 6k-13k daily + huge number of active cases, THE HUGEST + fast growing number of deaths then the situation will be very very bad for them, even worst than Italy and Spain if things continue like that.
People in serious or critical conditions are +2k and knowing that the condition of any apparently healthy one can deteriorate rapidly then things are worse than expected.
/More serious/: USA gonna be the first in number for cases in less than 24h, followed by Italy then China. Total deaths is hard to estimate now since the propagation of the virus in USA is at an early stage, but once the number will pass 100k-200k with many in critical conditions then we will witness how an irresponsible and kiddish Potus has exterminated thousands of citizens!

Now, 9 days later, we can see that you were right about the number of cases in the USA. Indeed, the number, 277k, is the largest in the world. Only it's followed not by Italy and China, but by Italy and Spain.

But take into account that the total number of tests made is the largest in the USA, 1.4 million. And that's what is crucial, imo. South Korea, a country that is coping with the problem of COVID-19 best of all so far, made 455k tests(2 times more than in the USA per capita).

In short, the situation in the USA is far from being the worst in the world. And it can't be otherwise because there is a lot of resources to fight the the virus there.

I completely agree that the United States is the richest country in the world, which has the greatest potential to fight the virus, because it has enough resources and funding. I believe that the United States always ranks first in terms of capabilities, compared to other countries in the world. Nevertheless, to date, according to official statements by the authorities in the United States, there are almost 300,000 infected people and already about 8,000 dead. I believe that such a large degree of spread of the virus was achieved due to the fact that certain measures were not introduced in time to prevent the spread of the virus in the country.
