Let's not lose sight of how bad the US has faired during COVID. Yes, India is getting hammered hard, and their healthcare infrastructure is crumbling.
The US is fairing better now, but never lose sight of the number of cases/deaths thanks to the foothold COVID got in this country thanks to Trumps mental illness and lack of action. He knew it was bad, he is recorded saying that in January 2020, yet he refused to act, probably due to his inability to manage, and his mental illness causing him to not give a fuck how many died.
India has a huge population, over 4 times the US population. Yet the US has almost 3 times the number of dead. On a per-capita basis the US death toll is 1,774 per million and India is 152 per million, over 11 times greater.
The US will reach 600,000 dead probably this summer. We still have over 5,000 dying every week from COVID.
