Yes I really struggle with this argument of “yeah but what is the death rate by population”. Sorry but a life is a life and a loss is a loss and trying to alter the numbers this way to make them look less dire is disingenuous.

It's a useless statistic that is simply an obvious consequence of population size. By this metric, China and India are the best in the world, USA and Brazil follow relatively closely, and then a mix of smaller countries. It's simply statistical nonsense

Nope, as I've said in the initial outbreak stage per million just makes bigger countries look better by definition. I've explained why. It's simply statistical nonsense unfortunately

That being said, presumably you think India, with the lowest per million death rate, is doing something spectacular. Any specific policy elements that make them 100s of times better than the US?

China has data orders of magnitude better than the US and a rate 50x lower. Presumably they are wildly better in their response? Also, the US has some of the worst data in the world so that's a poor response anyway

Worst in the world is perhaps a bit too harsh. Worst in OECD is more I point tbh

Whereas the US is 100% trustworthy despite the current administration? At a certain point skepticism of China (but not the rest of the world) is just boring old racism
