South Korea: 5.07 deaths per million Population of ~51 million First case on the same day as us. Democratic government.

This is who we should be comparing ourselves too, not just choosing some random countries that are doing worse than us.

Most of those countries are seeing their death rate decline. US is plateauing.

Which means the US is on track to at minimum 500+ within the next few months making it the worst country in the world.

Yes, yes it is.

Because a large number of those cases are NYC, which is already on the downside of its curve by a considerable degree, while the US as a whole is still trending upward, meaning that the country outside of NYC is doing pretty poorly.

> The US is not doing badly at all.

Sadly people can’t look past the big absolute number of deaths and attach proper context to it. Like deaths per million, or ignoring that ~half of cases and deaths are restricted to a single metropolitan area.
