> Why don’t you compare to China’s neighbours such as S. Korea and Taiwan? S. Korea and Taiwan handled the Covid19 situation much better than China. Much better than everyone else. When Musk is criticized for being upbeat about China, the implicit comparison it with the US though. In this context, the comparison with the US is not irrelevant at all. > Start at 10 and take 1 point off China’s score for each of bananabreakfast’s points. Starting at 10, you can indeed take points from China's score. 1 for each of those points is a bit too much. If your goal is simply to win an argument and get to negative score, I guess you can do that. If you want to do an objective assessment, you do add points for the low number of total deaths. A lot of points. In the US we had the debacle of the tests, the PPE's, the "masks are useless", the "it's safe to travel by plane", the "I don't personally go on cruises, but if you do, it's safe" , etc, etc. And lots of deaths.
