Please don't use Nazi slogans like this.
How can a normal german word be a nazi slogan?
How can "Rassenschande" be a Nazi slogan? How can "Herrenvolk" be a Nazi slogan?
Der Spiegel: Are we witnessing the implosion of a superpower?

Re: Der Spiegel: Are we witnessing the implosion of a superpower?
#22TLDR: German author now understand that Americans have a system that intentionally thwarts top-down control, and that, even so people, can still learn to adapt and do the right thing even in a backdrop of insecurity. Bonus Antics: German author uses "(sic)" in photo caption to imply that black nurses from Brooklyn are not speaking proper English.
The caption is a Trump quote from the paragraph above, intended to be ironically juxtaposed with the nurses' actual problems.
Good catch. Even weirder in my opinion putting it next to nurses recuperating from their work.
Der Spiegel didn't even get the date right - it was January 24th when Trump said “We have very little problem [sic] in this country at this moment—five [confirmed cases]. And those people are all recuperating successfully.” according to the sources I can find.

I don't know what sources you're looking at, all the ones I could find say the 30th:
- White House press release: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/remarks-pres...
- Reuters: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-china-usa-trump/tr...
- Politico: https://www.politico.com/news/2020/01/30/trump-close-coopera...
- Vox: https://www.vox.com/2020/4/17/21225010/trump-who-attacks-cor...
- ABC News: https://abcnews.go.com/Health/wireStory/wary-irking-china-tr...
- Al Jazeera America: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2020/01/cloneofcloneofcloneof...
This wasn't difficult, I just searched "Trump coronavirus very little problem" in Google News to get a vague idea, then limited it by date to get more specific results.
I couldn't find any evidence whatsoever for it happening on the 24th. To publish it on the 24th would require either time travel or some insight into planned speeches.
It kinda feels like you're trying to discredit Der Spiegel for some reason.

I really think this is over the top. The US economy was doing very well prior to the outbreak, the US doesn't seem to be doing much worse than other countries. (Actually, the US seems to have a little better stats, judging by death-per-million.)
Why is Der Spiegel posting such a one-sided story? Are they hoping in some way to influence American politics? (Legitimate question.) If so, what is the reason?

Not sure where you get your news from, but clearly you need to read more widely about what is actually happening on the ground in the US...

I am sure he is just referring to Worldometer. Is there much beyond that?

Cases per million or deaths per million don't make sense. The virus seeds from people entering the country and spreads exponentially from those seeds. The speed of the spread depends on the population density of the area where the seeds start but the population of the entire country has little to no bearing on that.

Why? Der Spiegel is selling headlines to try to make money, that's why.
