I think because they didn’t take it seriously and shutdown borders and non essential businesses with large gatherings soon enough, plus we are more of a free country than others and not used to being locked in so lots of people were not doing what they were supposed to
We’re one of the few countries that don’t have universal healthcare, so more of the population is “at risk” of becoming sick because a lot of people don’t have good healthcare if any. It gets worse if those people catch the virus.
America is far larger than a lot of countries so numbers are much higher along with not all States went into lockdown at the same time and places like China have had to deal with things like this before so so are by far more drilled at dealing with it
It has to do with the amount of readily available testing kits & resources. The numbers aren't necessarily indicative of those actually infected versus not. The testing has become more readily available as of late, so those previously infected before in other countries aren't being tested.
The "number of cases" is somewhat dependent on the number of tests done. The US has more tests, thus "more cases".
The US also has a large amount of immigrant and visitors from other countries and a very mobile population, so diseases DO spread quickly. Thankfully, we also have good medical care and sanitation.
No reputable source should continue to spread the Chinese propaganda of less than 3400 deaths. It does make one question all the other data.

This is misleading. The correct way to view this is the number of cases is per capita - the number of cases per million people. This views it on a percentage basis and takes the larger population of the US compared to Italy for example into consideration.
The number of cases per million people is listed below: Spain - 3610 Italy - 2590 France - 1995 Germany - 1540 USA - 1697
With that being said, the US would have a lower number if Trump didn't lie about it for 70 days before doing something.
This depends entirely on who is counting the cases and how. Any number provided by China or Iran is in my opinion completely worthless because they would never tell the truth, and a huge number of countries like have far more cases than the reported number just because they haven't been able to detect most of them.
The government took actions quite late. Yes, flights from China were suspended quite early but still many Chinese managed to travel to the US. When the borders were closed for incoming passengers from Europe, it was already too late. And especially in densely populated cities like New York, the virus can spread quickly.
1 the people in America think IT won't Hurt them 2 the government made cruciale moves to late 3 Americans dont listen 4 u guys need to Stay at least 1.5 meters apart 5 u should self quarantaine
Point 6is Just for u stop reading into fake newa and consparec threorhys
It's because of their refusal to take it seriously. When people in your country are having corona parties it doesn't take a genius to figure out why they have so many cases.
Heavily mobilised economy, large cities that have quite mobile communities, a lot of diabetes, heart disease and similar health problems per capita. Meaning an overall tendency to have immune problems, mixing up with stupid people who don't take necessary precautions, and voila.
I seriously am cringing, whenever I see conspiracy theorists trying to find easy explanations to everything.
There is only one reason The President of USA did not put a lock down in time. The population of USA is 330 million and it is more than 500000 cases. And India has a population of 135 billion and it is 10000 cases till now because our Prime Minister had put Lock down in time.
1. Because you can't tell an American what to do. It violates their freedom and stuff. Merica! 2. Americans don't believe anything a person with a IQ over 120 says. Merica! 3. You don't fuck with spring break! Merica! 4. God will keep us safe if we go to our mega churchs. Merica! 5. Its the dems attempt to take down Trump. Merica!
It's commonly understood that the Chinese have severely underreported their numbers, so that's definitely a big part of why they aren't closer (or over) our numbers. The biggest part though is because of country size and the way this country responded to the virus. American people straight up disregarded the social distancing orders for a long time, and the state Depts. of Health failed to implement procedures to limit the spread of the contagion.
Ok enough of conspiracies that china is hiding.. Simply look at the attitude of USA.. even after more than 500,000 ppp infected their superiority complex isn't diminishing.. they think cuz they are americans they are being targetted... like they are being slaves if a lockdown.. cmon.. social distancing ppl!!!
Not sure how we reacted late like the other answers say but because we have a high population. In places like new york, local governemnen was slow to act. In new orleans they still held mardi gras celebrations claiming the president didn't tell them not to. This is ridiculous because local government isn't acting fast enough. Thats why new orleans and new york are suffering.
China's numbers are grossly underflated. About hlf of America's case come from NY and the other have come from a country thats much larger than Italy, Germany, Spain and the UK.
Other countries have low numbers because they are unable to test everyone. this weas the case in the US in the beginning as well but as you can see they have caught up
USA is number 1 in everything we do. lol Actually New York is most of it in the USA. They account for more than any country on their own. Too dense of a population and many New Yorkers didn't take it seriously and were gathering in large groups quite a while after they were told not to. Many that were gathered on Florida's beach were from New York too.
And of course China lies. They always do about many things. That part isn't new.
First of all, the population of the US is around 335,000,000 so there are a lot more people who have the potential to catch it. Secondly, the US is testing a lot more people so fewer cases are going undetected. Third, the US is being open and honest about reporting the actual count rather than hiding the numbers like China.
i still find this ridiculous still. globally, approximately 3 times more people a day die to traffic than to corona (assuming the statistic you showed is representative, which i happen to know it's not, cause it is being counted in nonrepresentative ways in most nations), yet we all still drive cars.

Its not fake news.
And when did I ever mention a conspiracy theory?
Read my question and post properly.
You moron

Lol 135 billion
@77gnat I think that's supposed to say 1.35 billion.
yup right
i made a mistake😂😂😂😂
A funny one though. Good for India. Only.02 deaths per million. The US has 63 deaths per million. Stay safe.
