Actually the US ranks 20th in per capita deaths.

*in reported numbers. That's a massively important caveat, since many countries are not reporting properly (i.e. Russia's death toll is likely 3-5 times the reported one, and India had at least a million deaths, but the reported number is 480K)

Would be better to compare excess deaths per capita (instead of reported COVID deaths)
