“It’s over 100,000 tests a day. And these are accurate tests, and they’re moving rapidly, which is more than any other country in the world, both in terms of the raw number and also on a per capita basis. The most.”
“Those testing figures are the result of some incredible work that has been done by the health ministers, and the securing of the testing materials themselves and their application right across the country. We already mentioned Germany. Yes, it has carried out roughly 300,000 fewer tests than America, but it’s done so with a smaller population of 83 million. Do the maths, and you find that it has currently tested about one in 90 people.
“I’m certainly not confident even the numbers out of the US aren’t much higher than are being reported, because nobody else in the world has been doing testing like we have. So, for weeks, the country suffered from a severe shortage of test kits, which allowed the virus to spread virtually undetected.
Coincidentally both have also claimed to have the best healthcare system in the world.
Neither - Iceland wins , source jodigraphics15
China Is
Do do these shit storeys.
I didn’t know it was an Olympic sport
In Australia, we are pretty lucky that in the National Cabinet, 5 Labor and 3 Liberal Premiers/Chief Ministers are working together and very closely with the Lib PM. But that is not the case in US.
Australia has done pretty well so far. Also I wouldn’t simply blame Trump at this stage. US has 50 states, 330 million people, far more complicated. And the hardest hit states NY, CA and WA are run by Democrats. Remember it
They are both right. You need to understand their context. ScoMo is talking about the overall tests per capital. AU is one of the highest. Trump is talking about the test done on that day, the current test capacity. On that day US tested 100,000 and now increased to 200,000 a day
They are as bad as each other
I personally believe after all of this is done, there should be a pandemic response olympics... Because every leader always says they have the best people!! I’d love to see that put to the test 🤣🤣😊😊
Neither
Stops with the big noting showman ship both of you and just get on with the flipping job so over it both of you have big mouths
Who cares. It's not a competition !
Trump has no credibility what so ever, but any public figure claiming that the USA is the best at anything will win brownie points with Americans.
T Rump is set to make more money out of the crisis 😡😡😡
Aus has runs on the board.Less per capita infection Less per capita deaths, Better health system, Better social support (handicap to towards USA on intern’l arrivals, more potential sources, but not enough handicap to take Aussie lead) but equal on the both economies are rooted
It's not a contest you muppets
Doesnt Trump says per day and Morrison says total overall?
BernardGyorgy They’re both salesmen. 👍
😂😂😂😂
A more accurate answer is neither. Morrison is just much less wrong than Trump. South Korea 100000 times better response than Australia.
Ahhh,.... now I know why this hashtag is trending ScottyFromMarketting
Just get on with the testing and stop prancing around like peacocks, trying to score points. The death rate will be the telling.
Definitely not Australia
Right you are
Both are well known liars, so I’m guessing neither are right
The numbers show its Australia
Who cares they should work together
Same script writer
🇦🇺
The article is spurious high numbers of reactive testing is poor US and Australia both pale when compared to the true testing benchmark of South Korea
Can you imagine if we had Trump? Think about that.
ScoMo did better though👌
The Self- proclaimed leaders.
Straight out Murdoch propaganda Where are the roadside checks in Australia ScottyFromMarketing like Korea?
Trump is a joke
They are both wrong. South Korea and Bahrain are ahead of both.
Ja ja ja. What a joke
They both could be wrong
Trump is full of shit!

US unemployment rate 'could end up north of 30 per cent' | Sky News AustraliaAmerica's weekly unemployment record has been smashed, as more than 6.6 million Americans apply for unemployment benefits in the past seven days amid the disastrous effects the virus has had on the US economy.\n\nThe recent unemployment figures 'far exceed a record high set just the week before,' with last week's figure totalling 3.3 million, which was about six times higher than the previous record, says Sky News host Peter Gleeson.\n\nSky News Darwin Bureau Chief Matt Cunningham said he saw reports which suggest the 'US unemployment rate could end up being north of 30 per cent'.\n\n'The US just got to a point where things were starting to tick up again,' Mr Cunningham said.\n\n'They've been hit with this pandemic and the effects are just going to be devastating.\n\n'I don't think the US has done a particularly good job at this point of handling the crisis.'\n I don’t normally swear, but fucking hell! We are in serious trouble. That not true figure anyway, massaged figures far higher! This is why America needs to stop the silly lock down and go back to work right away.

Trump 'saved lives not jobs' by 'artificially closing the US' | Sky News AustraliaUS President Donald Trump says his administration saved 2.2 million lives by choosing to shut down the country despite the economic fallout which saw more than six million Americans file for unemployment. \n\nMr Trump said “it is an artificial closing, it is not like we have a massive recession or worse, it is artificial because we turned it off”.\n\nThe US has provided some relief to citizens impacted by the crisis through a $2.2 trillion stimulus package and the government “will probably do more,” he said.\n\n“Because of a hidden enemy, we are saying don’t go to work and we will pay you. \n\n“Four weeks ago we had the greatest economy in the history of the world... almost 160 million jobs.”\n\nImage: AP realDonaldTrump realDonaldTrump Everything he says is a lie. Everything. realDonaldTrump Are we hearing anything from the Chinese President? Why isn't he trending on twitter? Barely see his name mentioned. Fascinating to witness.
