but, the capitalist narrative is...
according to capitalists, europe is struggling to contain the disease because they have thousands of cases. meanwhile, america is containing the disease effectively because it only has 1000 cases.
it's perfect ostrich logic.
in reality, europe (with the exception of italy.) is testing people at 100x the rate that america is, so it's finding a much higher percentage of the weaker cases.
but, in america, if you can't see something then it's not there.
