People arguing for a higher grade for China, have you accounted for 2 factors? 1. They need serious points dinging for not locking down after SARS, by shutting down wildlife meat markets 2. It is not clear to me that the massive reaction was either in time or appropriate

I'd like to assign India a grade, but tbf I can't read the situation. It's unclear wtf is happening and why rates are so low. I'm guessing it's a mix of weather, poor travel infrastructure, low testing rates, and a young population, so asymptomatic spread > serious illness/death

But presumptively I'd assign India a D, based on reports of the silliness doing the rounds in the infamous WhatsApp disinformation sewers, and dumbass traditional medicine claims being made by leaders.

Why does the US get a C-?

China bought us time, we made zero use of it and really messed up the testing ramp up when it could easily have been Korea-quality. We had enough time.

Why the high grade for Germany and France? I'm afraid they're just lagging a week behind Italy.

I’ll downgrade then next week if you turn out to be right

How about Japan?

Haven’t been tracking closely. I’d guess a C for screwing up the cruise ship handling.

How exactly as of today the US aligns with the Itlaian path is intense.
