India? You think they have the disease under control? The US is at the top for two reasons, huge and extremely varied country, lots of testing and accountabili

  There maybe some merit to the claim that China is under reporting, but I haven’t seen any claim that they are under reporting by that much. Deaths on this scale is hard to hide, even in a state controlled environment. Large cities outside of Wuhan have no seen this. I have colleagues and friends in the big cities and I haven’t heard of anyone catching let alone dying of covid.

  > India? You think they have the disease under control? I said they've had a plan and they've tried to fight. Exhibit A: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/may/14/the-coronavirus-slayer-how-keralas-rock-star-health-minister-helped-save-it-from-covid-19 https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/may/14/the-coronaviru... It'll ultimately overcome India, but it won't be because they waved the white flag like the US appears to have done. > China most likely has had more deaths than the US, China would have to underreport deaths by 20x to approach the American death toll. Covering up that many deaths doesn't seem possible. It makes me feel like you're just arguing in bad faith. And even if China had exactly as many deaths as the US, they'd still be 3.5x better on a per capita basis. Despite being more densely populated, poorer, and likely having a population with more pre-existing respiratory issues due to more pollution. That's how poorly the US has performed in this whole affair.
