Not false. I cited the GLOBAL statistic, not the U.S. one.

Those numbers are very different.

The use is appropriate as the vast majority of COVID cases are non-U.S.

Reminder to [[some) Americans, you are only 4% of the world's population. The planet revolves around the Sun, not you.

So you want an Apples-to-Apples comparison.

If you want want a comparison using the more limited data of cases in North America, let's do that, shall we?

"Thus, there have been 53 cases within the United States. No deaths have been reported in the United States."

U.S. mortality rate, as of 2 days ago, according to the CDC, for COVID-19. 0.0%

Canada as of 2 days ago had 11 cases, also 0 deaths.
