Where the Virus is Killing the Most: Countries with Socialist Leaders

The increasingly Socialist media outlet, The New York Times, ran an article on June 2, 2020 called “Where the Virus is Growing the Most: Countries with ‘Illiberal Populist’ Leaders.” The article pushed the notion that countries with the worst record of combating COVID-19 are “all run by populist male leaders who cast themselves as anti-elite and anti-establishment” who subscribe to “radical right illiberal populism.” It added that “the flip side of the pattern involving illiberal populists is that countries run by women appear to have been more successful in fighting the virus.”

Here’s the actual data on the coronavirus and where its most deadly: it is in countries with liberal/ socialist leaders, not conservative.

	Deaths/
Country	1M pop	Leader	Party	Gender
San Marino	1,238
Belgium	820	Sophie Wilmès	Reformist (liberal)	Female
Andorra	660
Spain	580	Pedro Sánchez	Socialist	Male
UK	575	Boris Johnson	Conservative	Male
Italy	554	Giuseppe Conte	Independent	Male
France	442	Emmanuel Macron	Socialist	Male
Sweden	436	Stefan Löfven	Socialist	Male
Sint Maarten	350
Netherlands	348	Mark Rutte	Freedom and Democracy (center-right)	Male
Ireland	334	Michael D. Higgins	Labour (liberal)	Male

The coronavirus is a terrible pandemic which should be beyond politics but we’re in 2020 and the mainstream liberal media is hard-pressing the notion that conservative men will destroy democracy and literally cause death and destruction wherever they lead. So the NY Times again pushed #AlternativeFacts about COVID-19 and will not point out that the countries worst hit are led by far-left leaders. It goes without saying that the MSM will not print that the most deadly country by far – Belgium, with a mortality rate 2.5 times the United States – is headed by a liberal woman.
