are out there?

Not a lot is my guess.

Trump has called this the Chinese Virus and there are calls in the US for it to be renamed the Wuhan Virus. I am 100% OK with that on one condition - that the world renames the 1919 Spanish Flu either the American Flu or Kansas Flu, which killed an estimated 40 million innocent people. Because Kansas is where the first case of the 1919 flu was reported, not Spain.

People in glass houses should not throw stones.

Ok, go ahead. I don't think anybody is all that worried about the Kansas flu. Luckily when I lived in Kansas I never got it. Usually looked like alcohol poisoning but the truth is easy to spot.

OTOH in the NL doctors say that some deceased Covid-19 victims aren't counted because they wheren't tested for Corona but had several symptoms pointing towards being infected.

And thanks to governors such as that of Mississippi is trying to do its best to ramp up in the number of deaths, as well:

I'm getting the feeling the US is not going to try really hard to contain the Covid-19 virus from spreading in order to minimise the hit on the economy. Or put differently: it seems there just isn't enough money around to serve as a life boat for the economy.
