WN: John Oliver calls it with great humour and insight! But this is already dated. Here is what the situation is today (source: worldometer–several columns omitted below):
| Country, Other |
Total
|
Total Deaths |
Total Recovered |
Active Cases |
| World | 842,320 | 41,408 | 176,504 | 624,408 |
| USA | 180,723 | 3,578 | 6,241 | 170,904 |
| Italy | 105,792 | 12,428 | 15,729 | 77,635 |
| Spain | 94,417 | 8,269 | 19,259 | 66,889 |
| China | 81,518 | 3,305 | 76,052 | 2,161 |
The first reported cases for each of the top four countries were all in the same month of January!
Yet World Liar Number One is really as well World Idiot Number One in constantly claiming the government has the situation well under control! In the end, Trump is tragically World Enemy Number One. And we all suffer from it.

I’ll put the embed code below, but I’m unable to view it at least right now. Perhaps you can. At least the article captures Oliver’s main points–but misses the panache!
