The US is doing way more testing than most of the populous countries in the EU.

What's the percentage of positive test results out of all test results in the US vs most of the populous countries in Europe?

Higher. US positive rate is 6.9%, Europe is mostly quite a bit lower (Austria 2.5%, Belgium 3%, France 2.4%, Germany 0.9%, Italy 1.9%, Scandinavia <1% except Sweden 3.5%, UK 0.7%) except Spain (7.2%) and Croatia (10.3%).
