90 percent of the countries in the world have a very small fraction of the per capita Covid death total as the US. Including virtually all of the most populated countries in the world as highlighted below.
Yet our media is dominated by misinformation that all these other countries are lying and we are honest (or, to be precise, we will be fully honest once we admit that our underestimated Covid death total is already well over 1 million )
As of today:
China = 4636 deaths out of 1400 million population.
Pakistan = 20930 deaths out of 220 million population.
Nigeria = 2099 deaths out of 205 million population.
Bangladesh = 12660 deaths out of 165 million population.
Japan = 13107 deaths out of 126 million population.
Ethiopia = 4171 deaths out of 115 million population.
Philippines = 21102 deaths out of 110 million population.
Egypt = 15136 deaths out of 104 million population.
Vietnam = 48 deaths out of 97 million population.
Congo = 782 deaths out of 90 million population.
Thailand = 1069 deaths out of 70 million population.
South Korea = 1965 deaths out of 52 million population.
USA = 595,000 deaths out of 330 million population.
There are issues with under-reporting from a number of states (such as Iran and Brazil). Other countries have just plain done a better job of managing the pandemic.

Those stats are interesting. Almost seems like we were a target or something... just like India got hit earlier this year with a "wave" of the virus.
We are farther away than many of those other countries who took less of a hit from a virus that supposedly started from a local wet market. How is it that we took the biggest hit?
Anyone remember these videos floating around social media from China last year?
Disturbing new video shows dead bodies piling up in the hallways of a hospital in China, as the coronavirus outbreak continues to spiral out of control.
The images from inside Red Cross Hospital in Wuhan, the city at the epicenter of the deadly viral outbreak, show covered bodies lining corridors as staffers and patients walk about with masks on their faces.
The video, which has been widely shared on social media, was verified by Storyful on Friday.
Officials in Wuhan are scrambling to build a 1,000-bed hospital to address the burgeoning need for treatment of patients sickened by the coronavirus — which has killed at least 26 people and infected hundreds of others.
Now only 4600+ people died in China... really? Sounds like social media mind tricks from our friends across the pond.
Comorbidities are a big reason why so many Americans have died from the virus. Obesity in particular is a major comorbidity. We also have a large elderly population, who is particularly vulnerable to succumbing to the virus. It doesn't help when idiotic politicians purposely expose elderly people to COVID patients.
Other than that, Americans don't want to live the way they do in China. In China, hard lockdowns have been the typical response when an area experiences rising rates of COVID infections. Americans would not tolerate police locking people in their homes by boarding their doors shut. It's just not gonna happen here, so forget about it. Let people in China live the way they want to live in China, and let Americans live the way we prefer in our own nation.

And India is still a fraction of US per capita deaths, even after raising both countries' totals to what the "experts" want us to do.
