If we're just doing per-capita snapshots, the US is doing 8x worse than India and 20x worse than China. Both countries that are far poorer and more densely populated.
By literally any measure, it's been an indefensible performance. Total shitshow.
I would compare the US with countries like Cambodia which aren’t doing a great job of even identifying cases.
A real ranking shows the US is doing far worse (orders of magnitude worse) than many countries[1].
One of the few countries doing worse is Sweden, which actively did nothing. They serve as a (flawed, but interesting) baseline.
Our own health officials are blowing whistles, criticizing the federal response in the press, and (universally) disagreeing with Trump's dismissals, false predictions, and insane medical advice.
To think the US is doing well is utter delusion. I don't know what else to call it.
