Japan has fewer total confirmed cases (~41,000) than 34 of the states individually. Japan has fewer new cases in the last seven days than 42 of the states individually. Japan has a population of 127 million people. The largest of the states that is doing better than the entire country of Japan, which is "experiencing a spike in cases," is West Virginia, with a population of about 1.7 million. The magnitudes of these things just aren't the same man, and at this point it mostly seems like disingenuous trolling when you insist that those are comparable.
