No, I'm sorry, that excuse just doesn't fly.
China and India both have much larger populations than the U.S., and during the peak of the pandemic in China, there were over 58,000 active cases. Right now India tops out at over 43,000 active cases currently. Whereas in the U.S. there are well over a million active cases, way more than China and India combined. And total deaths? Let's see, currently China and India together stand at just under 7,000, whereas the U.S. stands at a little over 80,000.
So you can take that argument and cram it right back where the sun doesn't shine.
